Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.

painter
Back in June I was strolling in a museum with my father when suddenly we realized that a woman was doing a copy of a painting hanging on the wall of the art history museum in Vienna.
I was quite surprised not only because she was doing almost real size copy of a huge painting, but because she had been allowed to do it by the museum!
I thought austrian museums were far stricter concerning painters and their hobbies.
I was pleased to see how perfect her technique was
sadly the picture is not very good

patch adams himself!!!
Patch Adams is an amazing person. Hearing his words made my day.
No actually my week and probably my entire month.
Everytime I feel shallow I try to remember his words. The lecture was long and I would need pages and pages to write about what I learned from him.
He has really good values, some of them are really extreme, but definitely rare in our days.
His story and his life choice touched me...
This interview does not do any justice to the person he is, but it is still a bit of information I thought I might just share.
For the least impressionable or just the curious: there is footage from Patch on a trip to Caboul's children hospital. watch it and be prepared to realize how futile our western society has become...
