Gift

  • Three sons left home, went out into the world, and each of them made a lot of money. During a reunion, they discussed the gifts they'd given to their elderly mum.

    "I built a big house for our mum," said the first.

    "I sent her a Mercedes, with a chauffeur," said the second.

    And the third smiled and said, "I think my gift was the best. You know how much mum enjoyed reading the Bible? And you know that her eyes aren't so good anymore? Well, I sent her a remarkable cockatoo that recites the entire Bible, both old and new testaments. It took a priest twelve years to teach him. That cockatoo is the only one in the world that can do it. All mum has to do is name the chapter and verse, and the cockatoo recites it."

    A few days later, mum sent out her thankyou letters. She wrote to the first son,

    "The house you built is so enormous that I only live in one room. The trouble is, I have to clean the whole house."

    To the second son she said, "I'm far too old to travel anymore. I stay at home most of the time, so I've hardly used the Mercedes. In any case, the driver is so rude."

    To the third son she wrote "Dearest Freddie. You have the good sense to know what your mum likes. The chicken was delicious!"

  • Actually, Alain, while humans are capable of cruelty, selfishness, and betrayal, judging the entire species by its worst behavior overlooks the amazing qualities that humans also possess. Unlike dogs, humans have the capacity for complex reasoning, self-sacrifice, creativity, and empathy that go far beyond instinct. People have built hospitals, created systems of justice, rescued strangers in times of disaster, and devoted their lives to helping others they may never even meet again. Human intelligence is not proven by perfection, but by the ability to reflect, grow, and consciously choose compassion despite flaws and conflicting desires.

  • MEMORIAL POST To the New Era,

    The "Australians' Era," which ran from late 2021 into early 2023. The site operated differently back then. All the original members from that period have left now. We were a specific kind of immature, young crowd that was pretty active. We had a lot of community, both good and bad. It was a time of low-quality jokes, drama and high energy.

    The community back then was a comple… Read more
