But he hadn't seen the Colin Firth/Jennifer Ehle version from 1995. So perhaps I'm a little hard on what was presented to me last week, because the film does have its qualities.Campbell Hall NY Maid Service visit sitehttp://www.housecleaning-maidservice-ny.com/campbell_hall_ny_maid_service.phpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5060047013304842896.post-29755510703336964852013-06-16T08:15:51.954-05:002013-06-16T08:15:51.954-05:00Alright, alright, alright!

As you point ...Albert Einstein read it once a year. As you point out in #3, it has a feature of many inspiring books and films: a person with a serious flaw (pride, prejudice) who through great difficulties, learns and changes. <br /><br />Einstein said that beneath all of humanity's dreams, desires, and actions is a hope for greater happiness and freedom from sorrow. The teachings of the Vedas say exactly the same thing. And the formula they give for finding happiness unfailingly is actions, thoughts, and feelings that expand awareness through the five instruments of human growth: body, heart, will, mind soul. <br /><br />Do the right thing, and you reap health, loves, strength, wisdom, and joy. Act contractively and you get sickness, weakness, ignorance, and sorrow. It's an excellent basis for literary criticism. Authors who feed our contractive tendencies are traitors to the human race. (Cormac McCarthy and his brethren.)<br /><br />Pride and Prejudice is a great book. An expansive book.George Beinhornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00475910636989632171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5060047013304842896.post-3454207922925673602013-05-30T13:48:56.953-05:002013-05-30T13:48:56.953-05:00Glad to see you embrace Jane Austen,Greg!
