The title of Great Expectations, word came from the writer Charles Dickens, on Victoria Days, in Britain.

 He wrote the book Great Expectation, Victoria Society, through the main character, his nickname is Pip, who was a very poor, orphan, raised by a sister, yet, he really wanted become to a Gentleman, at that time, only gentlemen accepted in high society.

 Since he does not have such expectations coming from his parents or inheritance from parents, wondered at the graveyard, where he met an escaped convict who escaped from Australia.

 Later he got the news that one of the benefactors would help him to educate and transform him into a Gentleman. On the way to becoming a Gentleman, a lot of stories happen. Here, stories are not important.

 At that time it was very important to have social class, with social class came ambition, high class.

 The lower class forever trapped the lower class person, so never became a Gentleman. It is almost like our old country where the lower social class people never become "Yangban".

 When we came for the first time, a long time ago, most people had very little money to bring in here. Since our country was poor at that time, just getting an education and having an opportunity to go abroad was a good chance.

 Now, most of us worked very hard to establish ourselves in Canada, at least now, we have something for our children.

 It could be some wealth or giving a good education to the 2nd generation. Now, we are kind of anxious, about which way will be best for our second generation. That is one way of happy worrisome, yet, I am thinking of King Lear that book written by Shakespeare, King Lear had 3 princesses, a good heart gesture, he divided his wealth too early, the good act produced heartbreaking results, yet youngest his the most favored daughter even died.

 It is high inflation that causes high housing prices, for the young generation, and as we are parents, us worrisome.

 How long will take could afford to buy their own place? How we could help them out since we are already retired? We cannot make a decision too quickly, since we do not know how long we will live in this world.

 Every time I read about that kind of thing in the news, I remember one movie watched a long time ago called "The Sundowners", is about the outback who live in the wagon drive around where the works are available they stay there, I know that is not the proper way to live our lives, yet, how we could judge their way of living?

 The movie was made in Australia where the weather is always hot enough to live outdoors.

 One day I was telling my son that the country of India is a very hot country that does not need a house to live in. The food could come from fruit trees that do not have to work hard to accommodate themselves.

 He told me that that is why they produced a spiritual way of living, and North America produced wealth to accept the condition of the weather. Two conditions combined will make a perfect world. (The end week of August)
