I should get to your gallery more often... every time I visit, I find something even more beautiful than the last time...
And I love creating these collages, too - this one is particularly lovely...

It is possible you could maybe save some of my work too.
At home many images are looking great, buy when
I upload them to DA I don't like them any more
there are a few here waiting for their sudden death.
Thanks Charlie #honey

Of course I can, my dear friend -
I can certainly save them all, if you wish...
And I can understand your feelings... there are many works of mine that look OK to me here at home, but when I upload them they're 'not so great'.
I'll set to work on that soon - take care ~

I can be the same way with many of my own works... we seem to both share a trait of self-criticism - it can be a good thing, and a burden at the same time...

Yes, it can be a burden, but we have a certain standards, style......
that is why we are behaving that way.
I'm terrible - my excuse in the end is......"well, it came out that way,
not my fault".
Feeling better?

Indeed - we think so much alike that way. I believe that's why I enjoy talking with you so much.
And you shouldn't be so hard on yourself, my dear friend. You are too kind of a person for that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Indeed. I haven't a lot of people to talk to, just my older sister by telephone.
She lives in France, but she has her husband to tallk to, he is very intelligent.
One talk to people and they don't know what you're talking about. Sad world!
I explain to you how I work - I've got a plan, then I'm having fun -
but instead what I wanted to do -something else is coming out.......
Sorry for any mistake I've made, can hardly see.

Aw... that sounds like me... I do talk to people at work, of course, and I do have a couple of friends -
but it's not often that I get to have the kinds of conversations that we have with each other.
I always look forward to talking with you, on any subject, because I know it will always be engaging and interesting.
I hope you were able to have some fun today, dear Minia - and I hope you get back to your glasses very soon ~

It is very challenging talking to people who take their knowledge from
the social media without taking any effort to educate themselves elsewhere.
My sister is a pretty dogmatic as I always go to the roots of the problem.
Today I covered Hammurabi Law, the Roman Empire, and ancient Greece with her. She is well informed
but only lives in the present, as I cover a lot of ground! But I'm still learning
a lot from her. And I feel some compassion for her as well, it must have been hard for her
to educate people, I never thought about it, just considered her troublesome
My glasses back on my nose, of course I don't like them

Indeed, it is. I still believe that books are where the real knowledge still lies - and always has.
Sadly, our modern society has made online information conveniently accessible...
I think it was a double-edged sword - but it seems that a degree of truth was sacrificed for such convenience.
I remember reading about the Hittites, the Carthaginians and the powers of the ancient world...
And I still have my original European History texts that I used in high school and college with me.
It's amazing, and even comforting, that books can still impress us, even after so much time...
I know that it would be difficult to convince my brother - he is more of a child of the 'modern world' than I am.
Oh my... as I have said, I never liked glasses myself... it's such a burdensome predicament...

Life is hard!
I'm often going back to the history to explain the present. We are still bearing a burden of what our ancestors
did many years ago. I just can't help it.... and it is difficult to talk to other people, they think we are crazy!
I do have some crazy ideas, indeed.....
I've lost all my work by now, and I had a treasure, whole Europe's
history......but I still remember something
so I can go on internet to ask a specific question, otherwise it would be difficult to find it.
All that I had, it was from books, because I was self educated. I used school if there was something interesting
I couldn't find out myself, like biology... don't mention maths.
What I hear I couldn't talk much with my older brother because of his different views, my younger brother
agrees with everything I say, he is lovely!
I was doing Europe's ancient tribes when I began to investigate the Roman Empire which took me to
Mesopotamia, Israel...... they say that history repeats itself
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know, right?
I can appreciate your direction very much. We must study history very carefully - the educated ones among us learn from past mistakes so as to try not to repeat them.
But alas, we are all human - and humans are quite far from perfect. Even I don't heed all the lessons that history has taught me. Discipline is the key, really.
hehe - no worries! I have more crazy ideas than I can handle, most times... hey, I write this 'wacky' book called 'Zombaria Attacks', remember?
And the fact that you are self educated is so admirable... I give you a lot of credit for having learned so much on your own.
Yes, and biology and math were never my 'strong points' either - I do have a guarded admiration for those among us who are good at those things...
That's quite the coincidence... a lot of times, my own friends don't agree with me on all my views, but my brother usually agrees with me!
I suppose it is good to have a 'variety' of opinions in one's life... it keeps our minds from going 'stale'.
Well, please don't stop studying history, my dear friend - and I won't either. We have the past to guide us to a brighter future... I will try to keep positive about these things ~

It is my mom fault I suppose, we discussed history in our house a lot,
she was an expert on France and Egypt. It is possible that part of my
family came somewhere from Egypt and Syria.
Your writing I associate with Greek culture, you should be proud
ofyour heretage. Tthe Roman Emperors were fascinated with
Greek culture, so am I.
If people in general would study history more possibly would learn something,
and wouldn't commit the same mistake as our ancestors did.
We also have to remember that people who wrote history were
the victorious ones. I'm doing an independent research and it is quite different
from the popular trend of course.
Because of my accident (I screamed the place down, because I wanted to go
to school not the hospital) I used to learn from my older brother and sister
books, so by the time I went to school I new everything apart from maths
and science subjects. I used to like biology, we had a crazy teacher but
somehow she made it interesting and she was a wacko.
And I'm 'unbeliever' I never listen to gossip if I cannot veryfy it...
funny that! By the way I'm researching religion now a little.

I think it was my grandfather who got me into history... he was always talking about past events...
And I really loved the way he told stories... he got me interested in the subject.
My family is a mixture of Greek, Scots-Irish and French - quite the combination.
Aw... I'm so flattered by your kind compliments, #honey ... thank you so much ~
Your artwork has inspired me to try harder and go further... I know I should be doing more writing, though...
I really did enjoy Greek and Roman mythology, too... I even had a desire to climb Mount Olympus at one point...
Well, you are right about learning from history. It's the only way the human race can continue to grow.
Hehe, you have the right attitude, too - gossip is what I call a 'verbal infection' - it spreads disease, and that's about it.
I hope you are nice and warm - it's getting much colder outside, and I hate to think of you with that heater issue...
Take care, my dear ~

My heating is working yet, a bit slow I think.
My mom always talked about history, so I'm sort of brainwashed,
but I'm also a 'free thinker' and if I can check the facts, I don't
listen to gossips, it have an adverse effect on me it makes me question
the motive behind it.
I was always curious about my family, some of them are blond, blue eyes.
Others brunets with black eyes or grey, and others looking like they've some
African connections.
As about the human race, we are self-destructive. We've got enough nuclear
weapon to blow ourselves up, and the waste from it is enough to ruin
our planet as well.

Arrrgghhh... I just hope you won't go through a cold winter without proper heat...
Yes, history and I go "way back", so to speak...
I try to rely on facts rather than opinions, myself. So-called 'online news journals' and other 'reports' are not always honest or accurate.
Genealogy is an interesting subject, especially because that ties in with a 'personal' history...
My family roots I can trace to a point, but they have mostly led back to the 'home' European countries...
Right... I know people who would say things like 'we should just send over a nuclear missile and blow them all up - that will take care of the problem.'
I've never heard something more ridiculous... that would only be the beginning of the problem...

Very true, they are here to stay, it would take a long time to get rid of them anyway.
And we're already eating rediated food, good beginning!
It is very difficult to separate fact from fiction indeed.
Our genealogy we discuss later

...and then there is the 'Solyent Green' factor... ah, but that's another facet to the wider issues...
