"He who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; he who does not ask a question remains a fool forever."
Chinese Proverb

If some people aren't clear on what this proverb means, I believe it means that sometimes people are afraid of asking a question because they don't want to feel or look foolish...but after they ask and get an answer, they're wiser than they were before....  If they never ask the question, they may never become wiser and therefore will actually be "foolish!"

Updated Categories

Would like to invite people to look over my entire blog....  There's a list of Labels in the side-bar with different sections, which I've updated....  People can choose any and all categories that appeal to them....  Myself, I find the fall photos to be the most special and unique but I like the other photos, too.

Since I'm not posting photos or comments on a regular, daily or weekly basis I encourage people to visit my blog any time; and they can use the Labels to navigate their way.  Ideally, people would start by reading the Introduction or at least include it in their browsing, if possible....

Forgiving Others

No matter what our families or anybody have done to us, we still need to have a forgiving attitude towards them, in my opinion....  It doesn't mean we have to continue letting them do harm to us, if we can help it....  But holding onto an angry attitude is poisonous toward our own well-being.... People recovering from addictions, especially, need to let go of grudges or it threatens their recovery....

In the civil courts, they don't want people being "vexatious" and making angry accusations.... And the philosopher Aristotle said, "The law is reason, free from passion."  I think we need to be that way in our daily lives, as well, although it can certainly be a challenge....
