Lennon must have believed All’s Well that Ends Well

All’s Well that Ends Well is the title of a play by William Shakespeare. The saying means that a good ending makes up for any problems along the way. All may not seem well at any particular moment, but if you wait, things may turn out all right.

Cambridge dictionary

It sounds like an impatient person that wants it all to be over with. All’s well that ends, well…

Any chance the empire might implode.

As Archie Bunker would say “It’s in the terlet.”

I agree that there is a lot of darkness in the world. Years ago I finally realized that I cannot change the World, my Nation, State or Region. What I can do is make my corner of my city, San Diego, a little bit better. I have chosen to do that by feeding the homeless because they have been abandoned by our society, so they need help. Me and a group of friends make PB&J sandwiches, buy cases of water, get donations from other who want to help of food and clothing, then on Sunday afternoons we go out to feed, clothe, and provide a kind word to the homeless.

I am not saying this to hold me up as a paragon of virtue, rather it is to show that making a difference does not require mega bucks, anyone can do it. Find something that speaks to your soul and do that. Become a beacon of light in the darkness, others will be drawn to your Compassion and Kindness and then TOGETHER our example will change the world.

So remember, it could always be worse.

Buckle up kiddos. We’re in for a crazy ride!

“And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.” John Lennon and/or Paul McCartney.

(Her Majesty’s a pretty nice girl, but she doesn’t have a lot to say. Her Majesty’s a pretty nice girl, but she changes from day to day. I wanna tell her that I love her a lot, but I gotta get a bellyfull of wine. Her Majesty’s a pretty nice girl, some day I’m gonna make her mine, oh yeah, some day I’m gonna make her mine.)

Only a fool would say that…

Pretty empty adage but sounds pompously wise.

The phrase “Everything will be alright in the end. If it’s not alright, it’s not yet the end” is not from Lenon, but from the movie “The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.” The quote is spoken by the character Sonny Kapoor, the young hotel manager, without any mention of John Lennon. The attribution to Lennon appears to be a misconception that has spread online after the movie’s release.

“We can work it out.”
