Philosophy and Flowers

 

The photos are great, but some of the philosophy is even better!

We never get what we want,
We never want what we get,
We never have what we like,
We never like what we have.
And still we live & love.
That's life..

 

 

 

The best kind of friend,
Is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with,
Never say a word,
And then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.

It's true that we don't know What we've got until it's gone,
But it's also true that we don't know
What we've been missing until it arrives.

Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back!Don't expect love in return;
Just wait for it to grow in their heart,
But if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours.

It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone,An hour to like someone,
And a day to love someone,
But it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

Don't go for looks; they can deceive.
Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile,
Because it takes only a smile to
Make a dark day seem bright.
Find the one that makes your heart smile!

May you haveEnough happiness to make you sweet,
Enough trials to make you strong,
Enough sorrow to keep you human,
And enough hope to make you happy.

Always put yourself in others' shoes.
If you feel that it hurts you,
It probably hurts the other person, too.

The happiest of people
Don't necessarily have the best of everything;
They just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
Happiness lies for
Those who cry,
Those who hurt,
Those who have searched,
And those who have tried,
For only they can appreciate the importance of people
Who have touched their lives.

When you were born, you were crying
And everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so that when you die,
You're the one who is smiling
And everyone around you is crying.

Please send this message
To those people who mean something to you,
To those who have touched your life in one way or another,
To those who make you smile when you really need it,
To those that make you see the brighter side of things When you are really down,
To those who you want to know
That you appreciate their friendship.

And if you don't, don't worry,
Nothing bad will happen to you,
You will just miss out on the opportunity
to brighten someone's life with this message...

Bird flu in China

 

China’s death toll from a new strain of bird flu rose to six people as Shanghai began slaughtering birds at a local market.

The latest death was of a 64-year-old man in Zhejiang province. None of the 55 people who had close contact with him has shown symptoms of infection. Another 67-year-old in Zhejiang is in critical condition. Of the 16 confirmed human infections of the H7N9 strain of avian influenza, six are in Shanghai.

There’s been no evidence of human-to-human transmission of the virus, and it’s too soon to say if the cases signal a pandemic, the Geneva-based WHO said.

“The apparent high death rate at present is of concern,” said Robert Booy, head of clinical research at the National Centre for Immunisation Research & Surveillance based at the University of Sydney. “More people with milder symptoms need to be tested to determine if we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg of a more widespread mild infection,” he said in an e- mailed statement from the Australian Science Media Centre.

Shanghai will close all live poultry markets beginning tomorrow. Markets in the Songjiang and Minhang districts were closed yesterday. The city has destroyed 20,536 birds so. 

No virus was detected in any of the people who came into close contact with those who were ill.

Health officials are investigating the extent of the outbreak, the source of infection and the mode of transmission, according to the WHO.
