#6 Victoria, if I may, I'd like to refer you to the following piece of mine -- not because I think it is so good, but because I believe the discussion generated (especially after I re-posted it recently) is really interesting. Thank you for your patience. And cheers!

@Phil Friedman as you pointed out, yes absolutely these people use social media to grab attention. Some kind of narcissistic action actually, they try to wake people's compassion for their selves. Just like we know the people who plot suicide attempts never talk about it to their friends or family members, the people who really need some advice never ask any person, until they find someone who can truly understand them. Thank you very much for your great point!

I understand and agree completely with the point you make. What I don't understand is why people who don't want comments parade their personal stories in front of thousands of people on social media in the first place. To gain attention without connection? To offload emotional turmoil onto others because misery loves company? Connection is a two-way street. And if it isn't connection someone wants when they reveal their woes, then for me it's simply TMI. Cheers!

Another masterpiece with great advice my dear friend. Such a gift and talent you have, don't ever stop writing your wonderful articles. Have a wonderful day Victoria 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😉

Fair point indeed les conseilleurs ne sont pas les payeurs ou qq chose comme ca :-) as a rule of thumb I rarely comment in that direction people need to speak to a specialist google doctors are lethal :-)

Is very easy to advise the people. The difficult, to apply yourself. Good producer @Victoria Toumit

Well said. People in general seem to have much time on their hands on the social media having a ferm opinion or stand about virtually anything. I agree with you that one should stop their opinion since they haven't got a clue of all circumstances let alone be able to have a say in .... whatever. Well put.

#14 @Ian Weinberg thanks cuz! Big pink heart wrapped in gold ribbon to you!

#15 @Lisa 🐝 Gallagher thanks for your lovely comment. Yes, it is freedom when we learn it's okay to say no. I just sometimes have to wait. Big yellow smiley face with hearts for eyes to you!

@Numo Quest thanks and a big yellow smiley face with one eye winking

@Harvey Lloyd You don't read to slow. My mission is to bring you into my madness! This is one of the styles of writing I enjoy when my "High Octane " DNA part of my brain is turned on. It's fun to have write stream of conscious style. Hopefully some of my other stuff is a bit slower. Thanks for comment :)

Humans are an amazing species. Your writing always makes me feel i read to slow. I cant read at the pace your brain operates. I am thinking that maybe one of those unused DNA parts is a brain high octane fuel, and yours is turned on.

I am trying to keep up with the brain waves 😥

Great read but have to move back into the right lane where the slow folks are.

Big Smile :O)))

I think I love all your imperfections @Shelley Brown. I'd add an emoji but I don't have any when I use my chromebook. Isn't a nice feeling (feeling of freedom) when we learn it's okay to say no?

Thanks for inspiring with a delicious slice of wholesome and authentic life, cuz @Shelley Brown

#12 @Jim Murray thank you JJ My Fave!

#10 Thanks you Ms @Shelley Brown. Saw it and read it on FB.

@Aaron 🐝 Skogen does your mind wonder like this :)

@Jim Murray - making sure you stay current on my Weird Girl series :)

#8 @Pascal Derrien I totally get it! I came from a family who said I could not say "No" :)

Saying NO is pretty kool I did that one too someone body told me I did not know you could say no...... :-)

#5 imperfection; technical glitch from where I got it. Life isn't perfect. Kami-no-michi.

#1 @Alan Oviatt good morning and thank you! These are fun little reads I usually post on Facebook. Glad to meet you here!

Nikola Tesla: “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.”

Very well connected and explained dear Wafa. Not surprising that Carlos Castaneda and his Nagual talk about Intent...arising or focused from the Willpower centre / 3rd Chakra / navel.

Thank you @Debasish Majumder!

Nature includes atrocities, whereas atrocities are what we view through the lens of our own humanity. You have written a poem about that humanity but I do not underestimate how atrocious nature can be. If human beings are adding to man-made causes of devastating climate consequences, that is because of decisions that lack humanity - what nature does to counter man's effects is not human at all, it is simply nature adapting. When human beings are no more, it is like saying that dinosaurs are no more - and in that also, nature simply evolves, that we apply human consequence or even morality to nature, demonstrates how self-important we think we are - when the reality is we should be humble, far more humbler than we are today as a human race.

Stirring stuff, @Debasish Majumder!

Great message and call for self-awakening dear @Debasish Majumder

Great message @Debasish Majumder

World population 7.5 billion - "A new civilization will only thrive Where dignity of interests may derive in vibe!". Excellent and timely post, @Debasish Majumder.

you let us reflect on our behavior, and on the questions we should ask ourselves, thank you @Debasish Majumder

#3 Thanks Wayne ha ha....never thought of sharing in that group! Brilliant! Thanks ....and i'llm ake sure to make you laugh again soon!

Love the story and the hilarious ending, @Ness Campagnaro Thanks for a great lunch break read! Sharing in the Canine Companions Hive!

Ha ha ha ha ! Too funny !

I love this little gem@Ness Campagnaro so whimsical and fun!

#23 Indeed.

#22 "People and stuff" -well said @Pascal Derrien

When I was 11 and at Camp Sachem Boy Scout camp in Antrim, New Hampshire the Camp director was a Poe fan. Every night, while we huddled in dark cabins with only dim flashlights for company, he would play a record over the camp PA system covering all 10 villages and 300 acres around Gregg Lake's north shore. It was a recording of Basil Rathbone reading Poe stories - "The Masque of the Red Death" was a favorite.

"The "Red Death" had long devastated the country. . . .It was toward the close of the fifth or sixth month of his seclusion, and while the pestilence raged most furiously abroad, that the Prince Prospero entertained his thousand friends at a masked ball of the most unusual magnificence."

"The Cask of Amontillado" another "The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult, I vowed revenge."

Years later, in my 30s, I found a copy of that record at a library rummage sale -time to pull it out again -Thanks for your comment and for the memories

#21 Well - Don 🐝 Kerr - even on beBee - Rare to find someone quoting "The Book of the Dead" - wonderful poetry
Another favorite line seems appropriate here -"'What three things can never be done? Forget. Keep silent. Stand alone." - thank you for sharing -nice not to be standing alone.

Stories are made of ''people & stuff'' :-) Edgar Alan Poe and his Tales Of Mystery and Imagination is full of people and stuff :-)

@Alan Culler "The universe is made of stories, not atoms." - Muriel Rukeyser

#19 well said @Jordan Sands

#16 Einstein was right Alan. I think imagination helps us to remember and our memories add to our imagination. It is a two way thing. Both enhancing the other.

#13 @Sara Jacobovici
I sometime miss your posts as well -there ems to be limits to my time -which I know you also write about -time and stories in the multiverse are said to be infinite, but I have trouble getting out of this universe sometimes -ah -when to "Be Here Now" and when to "Be Open to Infinite Possibility"

Thanks for sharing to the Only Humans Tell Stories Hive -I'll look that up.

#10 Yeah @Harvey Lloyd
Because the listener settles into the imagined analogue world of the story -what need has she of a digital display
Thanks for your comments.

#14 Thanks @Jordan Sands - Einstein said that imagination was our most important faculty - how do you think it relates to memory?

#9 @Jerry Fletcher
Thanks for continuing the conversation, Jerry. So many great ideas here -persuasion -the art of sharing knowledge or a point of view through story. Science fiction stories - in the words of Lionel Shriver "complaining about today's problems by projecting them into the future"
Will look up Margie and the Aesop story.
Thanks again

Great post ! Some of my blogs are stories straight out of my imagination. I love the escape they give me and I try to empower that into the reader.

@Alan Culler writes: "My personal stories become illustrations to the point I want to make. That happens in conversation too. My songs often come from a chord progression on the guitar, which reminds me of a feeling, which I then put a story to. If/when I end up writing fiction, stories may require a bit more planning and a return to Joseph Campbell."

Honoured to be mentioned among this group of writers and storytellers @Alan Culler. I so appreciate your stories and style (sorry I sometimes miss your posts). Love this buzz; the beginning, the middle and the end. I will keep an eye opened for future stories from you. Thanks again.

#3 Definitely all connected @Alan Culler. I always enjoy hearing a story attributed to one culture that another culture claims ownership for. I think this goes back to your discussion of Jung and Campbell.

Story telling is an art form, that i enjoy, thanks for the tag.

A story well told captivates the listeners emotion set and they can place themselves in the storyline. I have met a few in my travels and can say that a good story teller can replace the media very quickly.

I am glad you posted your thoughts it was enjoyed.

Alan, Some of us come to story from without being from an oral tradition. My father didn't tell stories nor did my mother but they kept me in books from the time I could read. I "grok" science fiction because as a teen I was given a subscription to the Science Fiction Book Club. I'd been through Greek, Roman and Scandinavian mythology well before that and the writer's ability to paint new worlds and cultures with words opened my mind to a new realm. And I got into movies although it took a half-day to go into the city on Greyhound for a matinee and return.

My ex is a fiction writer. I could never do what she does. But I can write to convince or persuade. I can make people listen to a different viewpoint. And I have a voice that resonates with most people. So I speak and have done so professionally on three continents. (I'm waiting for an invite to Australia) The stories I tell in speaking are ones that make a point like Margie, The Galactic Commander (www.NetowrkingNinja.com) or The man with two wives by Aesop which I use to explain positioning.

What I've found over the years is that each of us has stories that will involve and intrigue most people but we just don't notice them. You have to want to be storyteller. That opens your eyes. Simply recalling all the sensory input of when and where the story took place will connect your audience. Then just tell the story. Hone it with the next telling. Find the words that connect every time. Make that story a signature--one no one else can tell.

#3 You're right, @Alan Culler, a passion for stories knows no boundaries! And I've heard some great tales from every culture, it's how we continue our personal and family histories.

#4 Nothing jogs the memory like a good story -Thanks for joining the conversation @Franci🐝Eugenia Hoffman, beBee Brand Ambassador

#5 I am likewise pleased to be connected with you @Tausif Mundrawala - I agree listening and empathy would seem a prerequisite for a good story.

#21 no longer i guess, dear @Brian McKenzie! i am working hard to translate your pangs in the sky, inducing you to fly sir.

"Honey retains its unique status

Centuries long for its delicious color and song"

Lovely lines, beautiful poem, @Debasish Majumder.

"The art of making honey
Only master they are in nature with a unique symphony
A delicious jelly they can only produce
To induce human, they know the art only to seduce"!

But you are making honey like bees dear @Debasish Majumder View more

Inspiring read @Debasish Majumder!

Those with wings, must never have their flight curtailed! Thank you @Debasish Majumder, for a poem to ponder.
