The Good Book

Travel has been a very special quality in my life. We all look for different ways to stay sane. In this high pressure, crowded, and every expensive world we live in.
Some people cope with the regular use of drugs and alcohol. Some just keep working away. Driven with the theory that an ever increasing numerical size of there bank account. Will be the cure to solve all problems. Yet others still have faith in the good book. The bible. With the believe that god. Will intervene in our lives. And help to solve there personal problems. Also the problems that plague mankind. Which would be; greed, hunger, wars, and corruption. Just to name a few.

Now I'm not going to be a judge. I admit. That I don't have any of the answers. To solve mankind's plight. I do hope that there is a divine force. That does in fact exist. That will come to our rescue, one of these days. In the not to distant future.

A great classic movie that was made in 1960. The movie "Inherit the Wind". Starring Spencer Tracy as lawyer Henry Drummond and Fredric March as his friend and rival Matthew Harrison Brady. This fine film is a fictionalized account of the 1925 Scopes "Monkey" Trial, which resulted in John T. Scopes's conviction for teaching Charles Darwin's theory of evolution to a high school science class, contrary to a Tennessee state law.

One of my favorite quotes from the movie. Comes from Henry Drumond who was defending John T. Scopes right to freedom of speech. "The bible is a book. It's a good book, but it is not the only book".

Well my favorite good book is the National Geographic World Atlas. I believe in, and have total faith in this good book. The information that is provided. Concerning our beautiful planet is first rate and accurate. No need for various interpretations. It is just a good book that will enlighten you. Guiding your path. So that life will be enjoyed. Exploring the wonderful and beautiful planet we all get to call our home.

My copy is the 1981 edition.
