Respect
What would be the reason behind recognising that something that is not important to you, is in fact important to someone else? I watch a lot of movies, and in some of them I find moments of great wisdom that I suspect the writer deliberately included, stuff I think we all absorb and consider subconsciously.… Continue reading

Something else, something bigger
I don’t believe in a man made god, though I’m willing to think there’s something, maybe. It’s the staggering unexplainably of consciousness, a thing that has no necessity to the universe, that drives that doubt. If the universe is 6000 years old according to Bible scholars, then it’s easy to imagine a god creator because… 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

Manipulated snow
The distraction of young people realising the power of being offended is useful to the powerful. As my friend Dave E, who has read the great works Brave New World and Nineteen Eighty Four (as I also have), puts his take on it “the road to fascism is clear”. Putting sanitary item disposal objects into… Continue reading

A writing wish
If there is one TV series I wish I’d written it would be black mirror, it’s just so fudging clever. Most Sci-fi and fantasy, not sure this is the correct genre, postulates the idea of an alternative, a future trajectory, a misunderstood past event, or a clean slate after a disaster. Some imagine myths, some… Continue reading

Human moments, Human structures, Human folly…
We find ourselves at a funeral. Happening is a human moment, one of mourning, where people feel and express the emotions that come to them while they focus mostly on what the person who has died meant to them, and somewhat on the other people who are attending. They’re thinking they haven’t seen this or… Continue reading

Religious Twaddle
One sentence, let’s do this…. Leeroy Jenkins!! I’m an atheist, so to me school RE is a lesson in the history of what demonstrably infantile and ignorant nonsense a certain group of people have chosen to continue, beyond the reasonable excuse of childhood ignorance, and maybe because of family pressure, to believe under certain social… Continue reading

Anger cannot be ignored
People are rioting, the media is blaming social media and specifically a man known as Tommy Robinson, but what exactly is going on? In the simple explanation, the far-right has risen and they have used misinformation to weaponise fear and sympathy into public anger. For me it is too simple to present people as thugs… Continue reading

The worst of us
We have politicians, and unfortunately they are the worst of us, often the worst people they could be. Just take a sample of them and ask yourself if they possess the courage of their convictions, if they serve their own interests or others. Ask if you could do better, think better, act more morally, if… Continue reading

Just stop
I see groups of people banding together because of their circumstances of birth, “I am a leftist Jew”, “I am a Christian Socialist or Conservative”, “I am a Muslim”, “I am a Christian” …. Therefore Insert perspective/opinion/political leanings here… Well this is silly, why not use reason? When we start a statement in this manner… Continue reading
