But as I say, I think it´s getting better now, at least amongst young people.<BR/><BR/>I´m very glad that You like my pictures and the text!<BR/>Christer.The cottage by the Cranelakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07521318192039394408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-948212455535029702.post-10134963104375463552009-02-01T02:51:00.000+01:002009-02-01T02:51:00.000+01:00Oops...I mispelled the word "simple."

But in some ways we were raised with the same basic rules. If one said something good about him or herself, they were immediately considered conceited and no one wanted to ever be thought of like that. It isn't thought to be so bad anymore, but it used to be. It is always nice to have an element of humbleness..but a simeple "Thank you" is all you need say. However..I know exactly how you feel and what you tried to say. It matters not if someone, somewhere, does something better than you, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Many things factor in when using a camera, just as you said. The type camera, lighting, luck, and of course skill. Whatever the case, I find your photo's lovely and am grateful that you post them here so that we can see another part of the world through someones eyes that sees such beauty. :) Goodness, I hope I said that right. In other words..Your pictures reflect your heart, your love for beauty and how giving you are of your time and effort. Those are the things I find in your blog and why I love visiting it. :)<BR/>I am sending you a hug for what you give us in your writings and in your pictures. <BR/>MonaWsprsweetly Of Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17990765326246470929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-948212455535029702.post-38329524998424068322009-01-31T20:17:00.000+01:002009-01-31T20:17:00.000+01:00Hi AliceMary!I´m certain that it started as a way ...Hi AliceMary!<BR/>I´m certain that it started as a way to keep people down, but then it really got a grip on people in the cold Nordic for several hundred years. I never treat someone else this way, I encourige people to try different things in life and compliment/praise them as often as I can. <BR/><BR/>But when it comes to myself ( and most of us is like that I belive)it´s a differnt thing. I have a tendensy to show the less good things when someone thinks that I´ve done something good :-)Or I say that it was pure luck it went well :-)<BR/>But I promise to try to change that and I thank You for the compliments!<BR/>Have a nice day now!<BR/>Christer.The cottage by the Cranelakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07521318192039394408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-948212455535029702.post-87404028558164715882009-01-31T19:14:00.000+01:002009-01-31T19:14:00.000+01:00Well now, my friend, who needs Jantes law to keep ...Well now, my friend, who needs Jantes law to keep us down?

At least those in bigger cities.

Too much weed, that plant shouldn't be there, the hedge is not cut..... Instead of just enjoying the fact that some one likes it!<BR/>I hope you are right, that the Jante-law will be forgotten, but I think it takes time...<BR/>Nice pictures today anyway - and thanks for the compliment about my kitchen! =)<BR/>Have a nice weekend.<BR/>/HelenHelenJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11138254138116569583noreply@blogger.com
