Спасибо, что просветили, и, главное, как раз вовремя. Подумать только, семь лет уже в инете, но про это первый раз слышу.

Ever hear the story of the old man, the young boy and the donkey?
One day an old man and his grandson walked to market with their donkey carrying some things when a bystander said “Oh, that poor old man, he must be tired walking all this way in the hot sun!”.

So the old man got on the donkey with their packs and the young boy lead them. Another person said “Look at that young boy! He has to walk such a far distance while this lazy old man rides the donkey with the packs!”

So the young boy traded places with the old man. Soon, another bystander comments “That poor donkey! It has to carry that young man and all those packs!” The young boy got off and began to walk next to the donkey with the old man again, this time with both of them carrying some of the packs. After a short distance they were both exhausted. For the rest of the trip, they went back to their original arrangement.

The moral of the story is that trying to do something your own way may not make everyone happy, but it’s a lot easier than trying to.

Second Lives at the Museum of Arts and Design:

As the title of the show explains, ordinary items like used record covers, plastic spoons & forks and phone books are given another life by these extremely creative artists. There are: a big pyramid created with 9,273 plastic spoons & 3,091 rubber bands, a gorgeous chandelier made with hypodermic needles, and exotic jewelries made with safety pins, steel handgun triggers and wooden rulers.

Brilliant!

After reading the responses here, it occurs to me that this single post – currently hot on Stumble – may inspire in a couple of ways:

-Future such fine art pieces will no doubt be conceived of by seeing this work (online or in reality.) And-

-although, sure, the glasses could have been donated, people who may never have thought to make such donations will read this and be inspired to do so themselves. MAYBE (Pollyanna declares, ever-optimistically,) even more people than actually could have benefited from the use of these specific glasses!

Artists to my mind are the real architects of change, and not the political legislators who implement change after the fact.

How appropriate that this recycled museum should open with recycled art. The building always was a monstrosity. The new version of the building is worse than the older versions. Expect a lot of art pundits to call this a recycled museum on only its second use.

I think all of these are really incredible. Maybe the glasses were going to be donated, but they were too old or something? Sometimes you cannot donate certain glasses and such. Either way, its a beautiful chandelier.

Come On Geek – I don’t think the extremely rare use of recycled glasses in the chandelier is hurting anyone. They’d likely be in a landfill otherwise. Aside from that, it may actually inspire others to recycle…….How terrible?!!

I absolutely love recycled art!
