I'm afraid this speech by Charlie Chaplin is still not being heard for what it really is: A warning.

We are doomed to repeat what we will not learn. Our goals must always be for peace, equality and democracy. Greed, ego, selfishness, disregarding mother earth, ignorance, control and arrogance can only be our downfall. When will we learn?

A few reminders there's more to life than 2011

Bjork:  More To Life Than This. Charlie Chaplin:  Moving through space. Murmuration from Sophie Windsor Clive on Vimeo. Required Daily Affirmation Unexpected family: Chimp and White Tiger cubs Woody Allen in "Manhattan."   Scene: Tracy's face. These are just a few moments, both fictional and real, to hang on to while ringing out this year. No doubt 2011 has been a particularly trying one.  It's easy to become cynical or numb at times like this, but we shouldn't linger there for long. The truth is no matter what year it is there will always be moments which are genuinely good or funny or simply breathtaking and nothing can change those moments, no matter how bad a year it is. More reminders to come. Just as soon as I think of them.
