I liked that you brought up the importance of reading ancient texts in understanding the current human condition. I always found it interesting that the Stoic and Taoist philosophers were in separate parts of the world with different cultures and conditions, yet came to so many of the same conclusions about how to live a good life. The technology and standards of living today may be different, but the mental and emotional hurdles we have to overcome each day haven't changed over time. Everything is in our head and it is up to each individual to get their mindset straight to reduce their own suffering. Very inspirational video, Melanie ❤️ Excellent work as always basking us in your sunshine ☀️🍓
Thanks, my friend. We have to turn to ancient texts because speech has been commandeered these days, and only certain ideas are allowed to float. Certainly nothing on self-realization, lol. We are each of us our own savior. 🧡
Hello Sunshine, OH! To be human, The woe, When will we learn, you have arrived just in the nick of time bringing the warmth and love so greatly needed, being a positive ray of hope, a light to feed the darkend soul and wipe aways the tears What i'm trinna say Melanie is ya know how to brighten my day and ya slapped a smile on my kisser Love ya big time 🌞🧡
Well....if there's a smile on your kisser, Ernie, there's one on mine too, lol. If this brought you a ray of sunshine and tiny a bit of hope, then I have accomplished what I set out to do. Love you more. 🧡
Here comes the sun ⛅🌞Here comes the sun, and I say, it's all right. Sun sun sun here it comes 🎶🎶🎶 Be well Melanie even when the sun isn't shining it's still there.
Another amazing piece,Melanie! I too am very fair & can’t tolerate too much sun. However, this story reminds of picking wild raspberries as a child (I’m not sure how many made it home). Thanks for enabling me to remember that sunny day & enjoying its sunshine.

Thanks, Celeste. That sunny day is still somewhere within you. 🧡
Hello there ! Ernie sent me. Suffering is a state of mind. Change your mind, change your condition. 😊Be well. Be happy.
Quite right! Thank you stopping by. I'm off to check your channel out . . .🧡
I loved it! You make me wanna go out in the sun and soak up that energy now! Maybe it will rejuvenate me for the week to come! ❤
Soak up the sun whenever you can. 🧡
Very nice video my friend. I was subbed but the bell notification was OFF! Bell icon has been turned to ON.
Thank you, and I'm glad you're here!
I love the sun, but it doesn't love me.
If you mean fair skin, I hear you!
