Ever since I first saw this picture I have tried to grasp the word that describes his expression. I think I have just got it: Stoic  Stoicism is a helpful attitude provided that it is not taken to extremes.

I was born in Sri Lanka and moved to Australia in 1969 ...

.... an therefore you may like to read the book: IN A SUNBURN COUNTRY by Bill Bryson which i registered under category Education. You may look-up further information posted by StoneHarpMan at BookCrossing. com >

written for Ian Gardner: THE MYSTIC

The Truth and Ignorance.

The Truth disturbs the complacency of ignorance.

                                                                                                                                from The"Quo Vadis?" File.

The Truth.

The truth is like clean, cool water - it is only of benefit to the thirsty.

                                                                                                                                        from The "Quo Vadis?" File.

The Simple Solution.

            To avoid all pain, unhappiness and fear ......

            avoid birth.

                                                                                                                                  from the "Quo Vadis?" File.

Doubt.

In the spiritual search doubt is beneficial, a closed mind is not. Doubt used wisely assists enlightenment; a closed mind assists ignorance.

                                                                                                                                                from The "Quo Vadis?" File.

Comprehension & Truth.

That we do not comprehend or accept something does not invalidate its truth.

Life's Events.

In each life there are things that will happen, things that will not happen and things that are optional.
Therefore it is misleading to tell someone that they can achieve anything they want in a lifetime.

Knowledge & Knowing.

To have knowledge and to know are two different things, and one is possible without the other.

Understanding the Bud.

To fully understand a bud on a tree one needs to first understand the tree.
So it is with life.
