The enemy of now
“Every man who is not helping to bring about a better state of affairs for the future is helping to perpetuate the current misery, and is therefore the enemy of his own children” – Robert Tressall, The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists. I love the now, I’m happy and I love my life, love my wife in Continue reading

Gawking
Forgive me for this one, I am just wandering with a thought as I write it, there is no purpose but to think out loud. Everything is arguable… So, let’s say I am a woman, I’m not and don’t claim to be, but let’s imagine I am, just long enough to examine a theory. Can Continue reading

Get ahead of it
I don’t know if there is a word for it, the infuriating effect of where a person challenges you not to challenge them. Specifically by using the first conveyance of information between you both to set a barrier up to what can be said. Often now, the first thing you know about a person is Continue reading

I just don’t get it !
I wanted to look at a modern phenomenon through the eyes of a not so modern person, Luckily I’m fifty now and I qualify as not so modern. For thousands of years people have communicated with each other, and for various reasons. We could speculate that in days past there might have been a good Continue reading

Was this always a tactic?
Ok, so I’m not saying I believe this is going on, but I do wonder, and I do like to speculate. The case is a prominent musical icon who is enjoying a rather purple patch in her career right now. One where it might be almost impossible to avoid her in media. I remember this Continue reading

The things we are born to do
We are inspired by all that we read to think about ourselves in both fantastical and critical ways. I often wonder why someone is no good at something that seems easy to me, I’m sure that thought has hit you too at some point where you’re maybe watching another member of your household trying to Continue reading

Time – clocks that don’t tick
Is a clock a clock if it does not work? A deliberate intervention prevents the mechanism from having the potential energy to move the hands, the batteries are removed, maybe it is just broken. My pal did this with a nice timepiece, a carriage clock his mother owned that she was bequeathed from an ex Continue reading

Our outrageous fortune
The worst person is they that would exploit, make profit from, and wish praise for dealing with, the miseries you and I cannot conquer alone. No evil exists more than that which wishes your sickness to enable it’s remedy, and no person is so depraved that their validation is not gained without the existence of Continue reading

Revisiting mistruths
Every philosopher is on a quest to write something that changes the way the person who reads it thinks, a search for some compelling argument. Not truth as we might contend, persuasion would be a better term. What is verifiable through testing is scientific fact, those are not arguable in the same way as the Continue reading
