Of course, just as how states of happiness, are, by their nature, of limited, temporary and even transient duration.  So, also are the states or times when us humans are likely to experience the absences of, let us say, situations in our lives which  do not provoke thoughts and states of unhappiness. Which is not surprising, considering that the lives and living of humans are nothing, if not a repetitive series of kaleidoscopic mosaic, of emotional and psychological imagary.  For each of us, during our lifetime, we will have reached and fall of the train of living, at different points along the journey towards a state of 'perfection.'  Which, ironically, could also be interpreted as a 'state of obliteration of the conscious or ergo sum self.  Which makes it impossible, not only for any humans to 'escape' it alive, but also without varying degrees of emotional and psychological damage. So, it might not be sufficient to simply define happiness as a st

'Humans having doubts about the existence of sentient god/s, and about their inherited religious beliefs, is probably something which all of us experience at points in our living.  And yet, through fear of how it could impact, and how some the religious zealots and the fanatics would react, than from the gods, this doubt is not commonly discussed by the faithful.  Instead, it is ignored, inspite of being a monumental and constantly growing 'white elephant.' But what of the person who owns up to his/her doubts about god? What might some of those doubts be, and, it is, we should remember, human and reasonable to have doubts about anything and all things.  The real issue is that of how those doubts impact on our lives and the lives of others. Whether the doubts or lack of them negatively impact on our journey through life/living. We do not usually or often hear religious people, especially ministers, the clergy hierarchy, be they Christian, Muslim, Jewish

Well, let us see what happens next. In making their responses and reaction towards President Trump's decision.  The people of the Middle East,  the Muslims world, and their leaders, should not resort to blaming America and dissing it.  They should not resort to taking symbolic and precipitous actions against America and Americans. They should avoid acting in self-destructive anger. Nothing of value is ever achieve, normally, by people acting in anger towards something which another person has done.  Since America and Americans have never done anything to give anybody even the least impression. That its primary objective in all that it does and intends to do in the Middle East.  Has not always been to do what it sees as right  - however wrong it might be - for the State of Israel. If the people and countries of the Middle East, the non-Israelis whom the United States has so little or no regard for.  Wants to do something constructive, for themselves, then they sh

Nevertheless, pragmatism requires that, Israel being the militarily and politically powerful State which it has become, it should be accepted for the reality which it is.  Israel is not a country which is legitimised by any act of God, because God does not exist.  It is also clear that Israel is suffering from a moral deficiency, as regarding its legitimisation.  The country's legitimacy is primarily based on force of arms, the brutal subjugation of the Palestinians, and willingness of the United States of America to guarantee its viability, at any cost. The Americans have always been true to the State of Israel. They have become the country's ultimate an unconditional guardians.  There is nothing that the Americans would not do to protect Israel. Including lying to the Palestinians and the Arabs about wanting peace and justice for them, as well as for the Israelis.  Lies, lies. The Americans sit on both of their hands at times of quasi-peace between the Israeli

'If the truth be told, then nobody, absolutely nobody who has an understanding of what could be called the sacred relationship between the State of Israel and the United States of America.  Should be surprised  at by the decision of President Donald Trump, to recognise Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel.  It is probably no more than a logical extension of a relationship in which the United States. Has consistently failed to reign in her protege, irrespective of the enormity of the injustices Israel perpetrates against the Palestinians and the other peoples and states of the Middle East.  The guiding principle of America's relation with the State of Israel, has always been, from the American's perspective, that of 'Israel, right or wrong.'  And from Israel's perspective, the extortionate one of, 'support us or you are being antisemitic. It is not a healthy and responsible relationship, but that is how it is' Jerusalem, Jerusalem, what have

Any profound changes which could cause great damage to the country, to its people, to its environment. It says, there is an urgent need to have further discussion; to endeavour to achieve more of a consensus. But, of course, that is how it would be a situation where prudence and due concerns for the future impact of men's action on the welfare of generations of humans to come, hold sway.  And not on the horse trading floor of the American Senate, where protecting the interests of the big businesses sponsoring the politicians.  Is both the main guiding principle and the desired outcome of much of what is debated, or what is pass for debate.  And so it is, that, if they can, while protecting the interests of the big businesses, and being mindful of the need not to increase the alienation of the oftentimes manipulated electorate.  These Brutusian Senators are able to make a nod in the direction of the ordinary citizens.  Without any costly compromising of the i

And how was it that former President Saleh was killed, apparently so easily? Why was he not better guarded, protected by his own forces, when it was clear that his actions had imperilled his life greatly?  Could it have been that he had lost favour with his own forces, and that some of them might have had a hand in his untimely demise? Which, sadly, has been the fate of too many Yemenis? Be that as it may, could the killing of former President Saleh and his companions.  As, indeed, the killing and maiming of the many thousands of Yemenis who have been the victims of this brutal war.  Be enough of an offering to appease the gods of death and destruction?   Might not the warring forces be now satisfied and call a halt to this pyrrhic war?  Might they not now sue for peace, arrange a ceasefire and start negotiations to bring this pointless waste of lives and livelihoods to an end? We can but hope.   However, with the response of the Americans, the British and the Saudi l
