Ron Alexander However, there are times like WW2 when the Japanese, Germany, and Italy had to be defeated for humanity's sake.

Sherry Dixon That's why we need to do everything we can to avoid it. 😄

Ron Alexander Surely Sherry, you know we had to fight that Axis- the three countries above. I am pro-peace, however we had no cboice in WW2. However, I wish we would have chosen peace instead of war in most since then. My dear brother Barry would still be alive without Vietnam for instance!

Sherry Dixon So many lives are affected. Even though I was not involved in the Japanese occupation, I was affected significantly. Do you know if anyone has ever done a video on collateral damage. There's been a lot of books.(here is excellent book that Sherry wrote:

Ron Alexander Whew! The war comes home with the vet or even worse when the vet does not come home, however in your case, second generation from occupation after invasion! What about your children? "Collateral effects" need to be more recognized and wisdom to help stop wars. In fact, that is what your book does, and that is my goal for my work. Thanks for your inspiration dear Sherry

Love people not things!

Happiness all day long!

My birthday Month: a review and a preview!

Thank you for all the entertainment you have provided in last 12 months, Ron. Since shortly before your birthday (Oct. 14th) in 2015, you have taken lively and gallant actions to rewrite history. You have banished a pesky demon and repaired a hole in your soul. You've educated the most immature part of yourself and nurtured the ,most neglected part of yourself. To my joyful shock, you have even worked to transform a dysfunctional romantic habit that in previous years had subtly undermined your ability to get the kind of intimacy you seek.
What's next? Here is my guess: and unprecedented exemption from the demands of the past.

How to walk the earth in a very deep sense of gratitude?

If we perceived Life with reverence, we would stand in awe at the experience of physical Life and walk the Earth in a very deep sense of gratitude.

Ironic, isn't it!

Whatever it is you want, however you want to have it, no matter why you want to have it, Ron, you can have it faster if you can first be happy without it.
