Alice... You will love her.
« on: June 09, 2012, 11:43:47 PM »
I want to share with you the story of Alice, a pianist, a survivor of the holocaust and also a very optimistic woman. She is 106 years old. She is really something.

He who learns must suffer
And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget
Falls drop by drop upon the heart,
And in our own despair, against our will,
Comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.

Sweetheart, indeed!

Alice: "...I never hate...hatred breeds only hatred."

Narrator: Alice Sommer has lived her life without hatred. Nourished by the unquenchable power of music, she remains a beacon of hope and inspiration to everyone who knows her.

Alice: "I was born with a very, very good optimism; and this helps you. When you are optimistic, when you are not complaining, when you look at the good side of our lives, everybody loves you."

Alice: "Only when we are so old, only then, do we become aware of the beauty of life."

In November 2010 she was to celebrate her 107th birthday. I'm hoping she's still with us.  :)

It seems, from all the studies that are done, that an elevated mood - one of happy expectation of the possibility of adventure - is the greatest protection against illness. Perhaps it is also the one that makes one "inedible" to the Matrix? -Laura
