Via  bbc.co.uk Are your friends just like you, or do opposites attract in your world? (bbc.co.uk) Are you stuck in a social bubble, or do your friends all have different backgrounds and outlooks from you? (bbc.co.uk) "The research shows that people like to remain optimistic, they like to feel they are diverse and tolerant," says Ipsos Mori's Glenn Gottfried, who oversaw the fieldwork. "It is a very positive finding, even if... we may not do as much as we think we should to escape the 'social bubble' we live in."

It was of an observation like any other and I sent it in verse form to a poetry outlet and entered competitions as a motivation. Soon I started a blog that was followed by some I knew from MySpace which was nice but also brought some along whose intent was to be bothersome. It happens and will continue to exist like an extensive list that insists on being a pessimist. (c) nature thoughts nw

The art of gift giving

It could be the postman or a barista who consistently delivers your post well or provide excellent service and go the extra mile. I thought I'd seen the worse of characters but some can be seriously that annoying and deep down 'not of this world' that just being in the same place as that person/crowd can be 'an experience' you wouldn't wish on your worse enemies.

What #Brexit highlights is what I thought was already at the forefront of people's minds and that is: The streets and transport are  overcrowded  (yet well maintained despite the millions of commuters who use the transport system regularly). Many sleep rough on the high streets, some even resorting to begging in spite of church help.  (And) churches really help the sick and needy on a daily basis.  They go above and beyond their support for the community.  They don't need to be available to assist those who never attend church service or hear the requests of those in hospital.  Yet they are there supporting the commubity regardless of their heavy workload. Many church members do so much it's become a vocation. Local councils maintain the plants and trees that we see in public areas and streets; bins are constantly filled with rubbish and emptied or bacteria spreads; streets are swept regularly or the litter accumulates. As we know, trees and plan...
