His theory was that we have no heroes. Our society digs into the personal lives of every good person to magnify their faults, leaving our children with a sarcastic world view. Also we don't study the classics in school--kids don't know the myths and legends necessary to understand classic literature.

We are definitely on a journey here, welcoming new writers along the way and supporting each other in a positive way. I have found beauty in diversity here. I am proud of the contributors of different circles, different levels, different cultures, etc. joining together to share the gift of words. Welcome Virginia! Glad to have both of you a part of this family.<br /><br />KarenKaren O'Learyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10510849199110347270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629436772073396833.post-20383185920217844072015-03-07T20:20:44.781-08:002015-03-07T20:20:44.781-08:00Yes, Victoria.

I think perhaps that alone could be the crux of our many world problems. We are all so unique, and yet, we are all the same in our search for love and peace.

I would like to see a revival of poets inspiring the viewing/listening of other forms of art. It seems that modern writers have neglected this very important function. The search for beauty is one of the strongest yearnings of the human heart. I think one of the functions of a poet is to satisfy the needs of the reader by pointing a finger in the right direction. The reader, then, may join a band of pilgrims heading in the same direction!
