I decided last night to open a book called The Manual of the Warrior of Light by Paulo Coelho, with my eyes closed whilst thinking of people reading this blog, in order to find a relevant passage. This is the result:
Warriors of light never accept what is unacceptable.
‘“Hitler may have lost the war on the battlefield, but he ended up winning something too,” says Marek Halter, “because man in the twentieth century created the concentration camp and revived torture and taught his fellow men that it is possible to close their eyes to the misfortunes of others.”
Perhaps he is right: there are abandoned children, massacred civilians, innocent people imprisoned, lonely old people, drunks in the gutter, madmen in power.
But perhaps he isn’t right at all, for there are also warriors of light.
And warriors of light never accept what is unacceptable.’

"thinking of people reading this blog".
You wrote I look back and you have barely had a comment , maybe it is only you , me and 2others who read your blog !
There are those who read this blog and send me email responses, but you are quite right, getting more readers is always a good thing! I have little time at the moment and have yet to do all the clever little link-ins that create a lot of traffic on blogs. For the moment, I'm happy to concentrate on writing it, knowing that the positive email responses are strong enough to ride this sort of jibe! Also, if this post had only a few readers, should I give it less thought? Thanks for the comment - you have at least proved people do read it!
Well i am one of those people who enjoys reading this blog, and i think you'll find that there are more people reading it than you realise. I think it's clever, witty and informative, keep it up!
