There are libraries in Denmark where you can borrow a person instead of a book and listen to their life story for 30 minutes. The objective is to combat prejudice. Each person has a title such as "unemployed," "refugee," "bipolar," and so on.
Listening to their story makes you realise how important it is not to "judge a book by its cover." This brilliant, innovative project is now active in a number of countries. It's known as The Human Library.

A CLASSIC bit of music history - after they recorded the song "We Are the World", the USA for Africa artists broke into a rendition of the Banana Boat song, cracking up Harry Belafonte. Here is the video for you to enjoy. I hope it brings a smile to you. Apparently it did to Bob Dylan (does he ever smile)?

I wanted to share a comment that I came across. I think it's a valuable thing to consider for all of us "mature" folk...
"Don’t waste energy being angry at the system. Accept the changes in the way things are done in all aspects of your life. Accept them as your parents had to accept the changes you brought about. The system is about the young and their future. Just as it was for you. Quit complaining and get onboard. If you don’t your life will just keep getting harder and harder."
