Now, there is this fable about Sampson and Delia, of how Samson was made weak by the cutting of his hair. In contemporary societies, it is probably only Sikh men who hold their hair in such esteem, with it becoming a matter of a ritualistic display of their faith and their connection with their god. Orthodox Sikh men not cutting their hair or beard is an article of their faith, although I do not know if they attribute the same kind of reverence with which Samson's hair has been purported to have had. In contemporary societies, men having long hair and beards can either be a display of their religious faiths, their culture, fashion, or their personal preferences. However, it is not with vain men and their hair which this post is primarily about. My concern is about women and their hair. It seems to be the general or 'normal' disposition of society, to invest great importance in the stature of their women's hair.  Up to the closing decade of the 20th C

So will the ending of this man's Presidency leave America and the world more susceptible to the politics of hope, of reconciliation, of solidarity. Susceptible to the politics of peoples, again uniting as humans who share a common aspiration to work together for a better world.   A world in which we are all stakeholder and we all look out for our fellow human, whichever part of this small world  they live in, and are trying to make a living. A world in which each of us do not just focus on ourselves, our tribe, our ethnic group, our religion, but, rather, on our common humanity, which, when allowed to do so, feeds off one another and we all prosper, together.  Where the only 'first' we aspire towards, is that of being guided by our common humanity and allegiance to the human race. Yes, the legacy of President Trump, The Unethical, if he is not pushed out or jump out of the Presidency very soon in his 4 year term. Will be that of impressing upon the people of the

There are times when us humans, in our periods or moments of contemplation and reflection, pose to ourselves the question: 'has the world gone or is going mad'?  I would not be surprised if our distant ancestors had themselves found cause, even so early in our evolution, to ask themselves the same kinds of questions. As we sometimes say, there is probably nothing really new in the world; probably just that we have used the basic components to configure them into something different, however radical, but still made from the same base elements, as it were. And why do I find reason to fall prey, willingly, as it happens, to such deep thoughts? Well, it all began with me watching one of probably the only British Conservative Party MP for whom I have  a lot of, if not the most respect. This man is called Kenneth Clarke.  Kenneth Clarke is a large man, whose girth and physique, like that of probably most people, increase in volume as we get older. And so it is, that

This is a short video of Canal life at the beginning of February, which suggest a quite idyllic atmosphere, for both humans and ducks enjoying a leisurely life. Please take a look and see what you make of it, and, if you are minded to do so, enjoy.

On and on we travel, through periods of brilliant light and delight, in tranquil and happy contemplation of how wonderful this life we are living, and this journey we are taking, can become.  On and on we travel, sometimes noticing how time seems to be elapsing, almost condensing  ever faster.  Not fully knowing whether it really is so.   With seemingly less than 60 seconds in a minute, less than 24 hours in a day, and less than 365 days in a non-leap year.   As the earth's magnetic field seems to become more powerful and forces the earth to rotate ever faster, giving the impression to older passengers, that the train of life is going faster.  Passengers who have been on board and are approaching the time when the enveloping void of destiny, through which the train of life constantly travels, beckons them to disembark.  Having to do so for reasons of age and/or their paid fares not allowing them to travel on the train of time any further or longer.  Or, for some o

Then their are those amongst us do not really support Trump and his reactionary policies, but who feel that, in order to stay afloat and navigate the torrid waves which his policies are and will be creating, it is best for them to take the 'pragmatic' and 'expedient' approach of appearing to support The Don and his Trumpist doctrine.  Finally, there are those amongst us who greatly despise and oppose The Don and all that he stands for. People who disagree with his doctrine to achieve 'security' and 'safety' by the ethnic and religious profiling and targeting of whole communities, and even countries. Who abhor the concept and practice of him wanting to create more jobs for Americans, with little or no regard for workers in other countries. With his aim of making America First and 'great again', at the cost of other peoples and countries. Muslims who have been denied their rights as American citizens are better able to empathise and i

Yes, these birds were right; they were being watched, and probably not just by me. At no time did they seemed relaxed, except if we see their constant watchfulness as being, for them, a state of being relaxed. Please take a look at this video, which, quality-wise, could have been improved upon, although that is the story of us humans, and take whatever pleasure you can, from it.

Ans so it would seem to me, that, it is not given or, indeed, can be taken for us humans to live and not experience the ranges of emotions to which all of us are capable of, and are likely to experience at different stages in our living. To us is given the aptitude to love and to hate; to experience happiness and unhappiness; to experience sadness and feelings of elation and excitement; to experience physical and emotional pain, as well as physical and emotional pleasure.  To endure feelings of fear and feelings of submission and fearlessness, of humility. To have to suffer the despair of war and conflict, and the tranquility and equalibrium of peaceful coexistence.  To taste the experience of anger and passivity or calmness; sometimes to the point where either becomes an almost fixed part of our character, even to our detriment. Numerous as the list might seem, there might be only a limited number of discrete emotions that we humans, and other sentient primates wit

So, no, from an economic and global perspective, it seems unlikely that PTTU will leave the world better off, in terms of his legacy. If, as might have to be the case, his economic and international policies are destined to leave the world more fractious, with countries having to resort to economic models which are based more on direct production and consumption of what they produce. If it means that, in their import and export dealings with the United States, they will be pressured into entering into inequitable and uneconomic trade 'deals.'  Then, no, the world will not become a better place. Granted that the United States, with over 318 million people, might have a lot of scope to pursue Trump' largely isolationist economy model for some time.  As the country produces and consumes most of what it needs, and probably sells and buys what it needs but cannot produce itself, at a preferential rate of exchange. But what about the post-Trumpist political
