But when in the late 19th century writers like Walter Pater, or Baudelaire, or Poe, said that art should not have anything to do with the moral values that constitute the essence of life, we are plainly on debatable grounds. A French poet said, "To admire art because it can uplift the individual is like admiring the rose because we extract from its medicine for eye."

Although I’ve always been on the skinny side growing up, I’ve never actually had a low enough body percentage to see my abs. In fact, I have a slight belly and love handles. For years, my goal was to just gain weight since I was tired of being a walking broomstick. I achieved that a few years ago which I wrote about in this post.

Some people do fine pursuing a goal by themselves but for others, having some support can do wonders. From friends and family members who have similar goals to coaches or mentors who can push you and help keep you on track, having others who will encourage you will give you more reasons to stay on track.

Their unsuccessful attempt to browbeat United Vietnam led them to encourage Pol Pot's Kampuchea to violate the South Vietnamese borders and thus divide the Indo-China States and dominate them. China is now trying to topple the independent non-aligned State of Laos by setting up a puppet Laotian Government in exile in China.
