I agree with the beautiful principle that we can all change our situations by changing our thoughts and attitudes, but I was unaware that it is a secret.
The English Author Rebecca West, Dame Isabel Fairfield, (1892-1983) wrote many memorable lines. An often quoted one seems to apply
to our conversation, "The trouble with mankind is twofold. He cannot understand truths which are too complex and he cannot remember
truths which are too simple." 'In one ear and out the other' describes the common intellectual function of merely giving mental assent.
It acknowledges an academic understanding only (left lobe), without necessarily accepting and assimilating the information within the
recycling/actionable frame of reference (right lobe transfer). Today in choosing the thread title "Best kept secret..." my purpose was to focus
attention on a simple core principle of happiness... one so very quickly forgotten, so easily ignored and so infrequently utilized. Let's put
it this way... Best kept secret we keep from ourselves (the disconnect between our read only information storage and the print only launching
pad of our daily decisions and actions, words and deeds). The high percentage mix of personal irritations, festering bad blood, personality
attacks, assorted picayune grousing cleverly expressed and other petty frustrations fingered to death daily on the RHP General Forum
attests to the principle this thread enucleates. It also illustrates the fact that a certain segment of unhappy community members are still
hellbent for leather with an agenda of changing other people rather than themselves. Life's simply too short to be unhappy in this world.

of each post since December, 2007. I refer you to my last official post on April 5, 2007. Those of you who know me
and my family will realize that projecting my wife's stuffy and senile grandfather's style is part of the kostume.

Biggest secret is where did the energy come from to cause the big bang. Basic law of physics says energy cannot be created or destroyed. If the was nothing before the big bang at that singular point then.....? 😕
