After we are gone

Said of a US civil rights leader who died sometime around the start of 2010 and whose name I never discovered – 'He left more than he found'. This phrase I find quite pregnant with possible implications. We all leave the world changed in some way. By merely being here, we alter what goes on around us. However, this man left 'more'. This suggests that he contributed in some positive way; he didn't merely get involved for selfish reasons – that would have been a negative contribution in that it takes more than it gives.
Since reading and commenting on what was said of that man, I've heard a similar version – 'He left things better than he found them'. Interestingly, if one thinks about it, only human beings can leave things worse!

A Nice Postcard From Paris

(Not that I'm currently there to be 'sending' a postcard. I bought this postcard when I was there a few years ago and have scanned it. It's the juxtaposition of the interior and the iconic exterior landmark which, I think, appeals to me so much.)

Saw this – liked it

Who (or what) Are You?

When asked who you are you give your name. Then you may be asked what you are or what you do. Names sometimes have letters after them denoting qualifications. These are known as post-nominal letters. To some people these are important – I have even seen them on gravestones. To some, their title is important. Some people have more titles and post-nominal letters than name. Sometimes people even become those letters and titles. Yet, am I really a bachelor of science, a master of arts or a doctor of philosophy? At the end of the day, I am not just 'me', I am just 'I'.
