LEWIS HAMILTON AND NICO ROSBERG - BREAKING NEW! PART 1

-



As a Mercedes Formula 1 fan, and Lewis' and Nico's fan in particular, I am loathed to see either Nico or Lewis disrespect or behave towards each other in a manner which is unbecoming of what I believe to be honourable and lacking in humility. That does not mean that I do not enjoy when Lewis beats Rosberg, fairly, or appreciate Nico's mastery when he beats Lewis.

 But it does grieve me when I see either of these Formula 1 Champions behave in what I consider to be a dishonourable or pedantic and unnecessarily 'puffed up' manner towards each other. The saddest part it is that, although we can understand Lewis' great disappointment when his races, on a number of occasions, come unstuck, more often than not, not due to his error, such as occurred when his engine died on him when he was on his way to winning the race, there is never anything to gain by behaving offhandedly about these things. 

The object of more peaceful contemplation.

After all, Lewis and Nico and their Mercedes Team are in a partnership, and, to put it bluntly, if you slapped down your partner, you will create more distrust and dissatisfaction, which you will then have to spend more time and effort making amends for. So, to respond in a stroppy - as opposed to venting your disappointment and frustration in a controlled manner - to the big setbacks you have, is really counter-productive. It results in you and your partners feeling hurt.

 The point is, if you are construed as attacking or make insinuations about your team and/or team mate repeatedly, then it could lead to a situation where mistrust could develop and grow; irrespective of how often you later retract or try to diffuse the suspicions which it could lead to. It is better to endeavour to become a master of savoir faire; saying and doing the right thing at the right time, if you like.

Peaceful contemplation has so much to be said for it!

Humility is, in our contemporary competitive and egocentric world, especially in the sports and music and entertainment industries, a virtue which is not being given as much exposure as it deserves. Being 'the winner' has become all the rage; not even 'we are the winners', but 'I am the winner.' Well, of course Lewis and Nico want to be the winner of every Formula 1 race, and to be the winner of each world championship. 

 Being the great drivers they are, and having the backing of Mercedes behind them, those are not necessarily unrealistic expectations. Although the probability of one of them winning all the races and the world championships consistently, is not high; all things considered. For many of their colleagues, winning a few of the races might be the height of their aspirations.

To be continued.
The purpose of living is to maximise the pleasure we can derive from it, and which we can give to others!

JUST A THOUGHT - ARE PRISONS A SYMBOL OF A PUNITIVE SOCIETY? THE END....

By increasing the number of statutes by which citizens can be criminalised. So as to provide a sufficient supply of inmates for the prison population.   As we have seen, for example, in the United States of America. The so-called most advanced country in the world.   But also undoubtedly, probably the most retrograde one, when it comes to the manufacturing of criminal laws, and administration of 'crime and punishment.'  Since, not only does it make having more prisoners as a necessity, in order to keep the private companies holding and processing them, and the 'law enforcement departments, in business.  But it also encourages corruption amongst all those involved in the crime and punishment industry, through the quest to generate income and profits. Objectives which they seek to achieve by brutalising inmates and increasing their prospects for having to pursing a criminal career.  By ensuring that inmates being discharged from the prison industry are l

THE ISRAEL/PALESTINIAN WAR AND HOW ISRAEL'S LATEST ATROCITY MIGHT HAVE SEALED ITS EVENTUAL DEFEAT! P.4.

   It is unlikely that things were ever getting better. But, at least the Palestinians were alive, they had their homes, their roads, water, electricity, the basic requirements for having at least a basic life.  They had more freedom of movement in their 'reservations' than they have now, with the storm troopers crawling over and around them as so many wasps.  So, yes, it is likely that, for the majority of Palestinians who are being forced to pay the price the Zionist Israeli State has decided to extract from them, the attack of 7th October might be considered to have been a tactical mistake by Hamas and the other Resistance Fighters. And yet, it could be the case that the overall and eventual outcome of the attack for the Palestinian people will be a positive one. It has broken the then impasse, the stalemate in progressing the realisation of a sovereign and viable Palestinian State.  It has forced the nations and international organisations, ordinary people of the world to t

THE ISRAEL/PALESTINIAN WAR AND HOW ISRAEL'S LATEST ATROCITY MIGHT HAVE SEALED ITS EVENTUAL DEFEAT! P.1

  So, what are my thoughts about Hamas' unprecedented attack on parts of Israel, which has resulted in hundreds of men, women and children, some of them soldiers, being killed and thousands of Israelis becoming shocked and traumatised as they have probably never experienced before? And what are my thoughts about Israel's Zionist government's brutal and merciless counter-attack on, not just Hamas' fighters and military, but on all Palestinians and their social, economic and essential infrastructures in both Gaza and the West Bank? The egg did not come 'out of nowhere', and neither did the chicken. Everything of substance and significance has a context which can help us to define and understand it more than we could or would be able to do, without that context.  This principle also applies to Hamas' attack on Israel, just as how it applies to Israel's subsequent and continuing attack on the Palestinians. And so it is that Hamas' attack on Israel was a

CONTEMPLATIVE MOODS - IF LIFE IS A B..... THEN CHECK OUT SOME CLASSICAL MUSIC BEFORE YOU DIE!

-
Image
So, if life were a bitch and then we die, need we say or do or think anymore of the matter? If life were a bitch and then we die, might we not surmise that it be our duty to screw life before we die, that we might gain some small pleasure, some small satisfaction from our life the life we live, before we die? But of course, some of us might as some point, consider that it is life which screws the living and not the living who does the screwing. And, in the knowledge that the term screwing can have an ambivalent meaning, in that it can mean participating in an event from which we derive pleasure, as well as being used as a pejorative term of abuse.  So it is that life and living can be both pleasurable and miserable to us who are required to endure it. To live it, to savour it. And so it is that I wish to comment on the beauty of music, with which we can fill many moments of our lives and our living with. Music, said the song, is the food of love. Yet, we need not
