@erikaharris Yes I am glad you asked about the Avatar. It is of course the Bruce the Shark from findin NEMO. In the movie Bruce is touched when he finds out that Marlin was looking for Nemo. The shark then breaks down into tears and confesses that he never knew his father, which in turn got him a couple of hugs from Anchor and Chum, who tried to cheer their mate up.

Although I lived with my Father for around 4 years of my Life I really never got to know him so Bruce the Shark reminds me of what it is like for a Son to Never Really know his Father.

I am pretty sure that would make sense to an understanding and compassionate Woman like yourself.......

If the world is going to have a tipping point in a more favorable direction, Western society (given its dominant culture) must be willing to make a paradigm shift from an overly consumptive, self-centered way of thinking and living, to a more selfless, altruistic way of behaving....

As the saying goes, “If we keep doing what we’ve been doing, we’ll keep getting what we’re getting,” and the planet and her people really can’t sustain its current level of unchecked consumption much longer.

The bloody mouth threw me, so I just didn't associate it with Brucey. :-)

But wow, @stokjockey... I'm glad I asked, too!

Thanks for sharing such an open and thoughtful answer. I understand its specialness for you. 

And I agree 100% about allowing/inspiring ourselves to live more fully from our potential... which is capable of quite a lot more than *just shopping.*

We'll get there... or extinguish on the way!
