Is love an emotion?

Is love action?

Is love mutual?

Is love anything without the commitment of marriage?

I argue that love in its fulfillment is all four of these and cannot be anything less.

Money and Meaning in “It’s a Wonderful Life”

I’d like to present you with some lessons from the famous Christmas movie “It’s a wonderful life.” Before you write me off, however, I don’t think you’ve ever noticed these insightes before. I know I hadn’t. Henry F. Potter, the brain, embodies the greedy capitalist scrooge character who enriches himself and cares for no one else. Peter Bailey, the heart, is the big hearted socialist who exploits the capitalist for his altruistic pursuits, but at the risk of constant bankruptcy. George Bailey, the heart with a brain, finds a sustainable balance by running a not for profit business while following wisely the laws of finance.

I’ve clipped in some excepts from the movie in-between my own observations.

So, here is my life story as guided by my friend Jeremy.

When I was a teenager, the fact that adults were the largest demographic of gamers was cited as an alarming trend. Video games were (and maybe still are) considered child's play. I don't play video games much anymore, but I do recognize the value that can be found in them. As I share a few stories from my younger days, I'll highlight the lessons that can be drawn from them. Video games might be child's play, but they also hold the capacity to prepare one for the realities of life.. if one is paying attention.
