RE: Differences in the seasons.

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

I have the book yes! Powerful story, if you are referring to the novel. I also read somewhere recently about the power of what most people deem insignificant. The "major" events are based on small events that go unheard of. So even if what we are doing seems insignificant, we need to remember that major events cannot happen without the smaller ones.

Oh yes, I often think about this as something as insignificant as a garage at home was used as a major launch pad for a multi million dollar enterprise.
All major events start off on the foundations laid by the smaller ones.

One cannot make a prestige brand of wine without grapes. The grapes will not grow well if there is no one tend the vines. The vines will not grow well if there is no one to prepare the for growth in the winter season. Someone cannot tend the vines well if he or she is sick, do you think that health worker that keeps the workers well are recognized when the wine's certificate is presented at a gala function in a 5 star European hotel? Nope, the big cannot exist without the small.
Sorry, I am in hurry and there might be some errors above.

No problem, thank you so much for making time to respond so beautifully.

And that is true. Those who actually do the backbreaking work rarely get the recognition. I worked in various professional kitchens, and the same goes for them. The chef rarely cooks the food. He/she is basically a signature but the food is cooked by those who will rarely be in the position of the head chef. This is not always the case, but mostly. And then the head chef will be rewarded handsomely and the people who actually cook the food will get a pat on the back.

Thank you and just a piece of my thoughts shared with you.
Such is life my friend and we can either accept it or lump it. Fairness hardly ever plays a role in a democracy, as all of the dogs are left loose and the bigger ones get the bone.

Yet another wonderful metaphor. And this one is so true. It is totally utopian to think about equality or equal opportunities. There will always be "bigger fish" out there or kids with parents' money. I am speculating a lot now, but one of my brother's friends opened a dentist practice in Somerset West. He hails from Gauteng and only finished his studies recently. His dad has so much money. I am only thinking about all the struggling medical students out there that also have the same potential. But as you mentioned, the bigger dog eventually gets the bone.
