CHRISTMAS, I AM, SO, ENJOY ME!! THE END......

Just as how the Sun, by its how it impacts the earth and all that there is within and upon it, is capable of effecting results which can either or be both beneficial or unbeneficial to its inhabitants.  While the Christians and other theistic religions which, in their attempt to empower their gods, have attributed to them, just as the 'Pagans' have done, powers which they do not have.  Are really little more than 'spiritual or intellectual pagans. Indeed, it is arguable that the 'physical pagans.'  In worshiping The Sun, The Moon, The Great Oceans and Rivers, are more scientific and intellectual than the 'spiritual pagans', who have attributed power to a God and 'Son of God' who are clearly mythical. So, I repeat, if you are living in a multicultural, multi-ethnic and/or multi-faith society, or country. If you are Christian, Muslim, Sikh, Jew, Hindu, Buddhist, Taoist, Shintoist, Confusionist, Atheist, Agnostic, et al.  Please

JUST A THOUGHT - ON VENEZUELA, AND WHETHER PRESIDENT NICOLAS MADURO SHOULD BE SACRIFICED! THE ENDING..?

Image
With 3 million Venezuelans having been forced to leave the country since 2015.  With the economic collapse, with people starving or bordering on starvation, and with the country's health service apparent no longer working.   Because of lack of basic human and material resources, with escalating State on people and criminal on civilian violence and intimidation.  Why is the United Nations not making a more concerted effort to intervene in Venezuela?  Why is the Organization of American States not taking a more proactive approach towards helping the people of Venezuela? There might not be airplanes bombing the people of Venezuela, and their might not be marge armed militias fighting one another.  But Venezuela is being as surely as somalia, as Libya, as Yemen, being made into a 'failed state.'  It is, largely thanks to Nicolas Maduro's government, being eaten from the inside and destroyed. Probably even more efficiently and effectively than if

And what we know for certain, is that he has done alot to disadvantage her since she has become the Duchess of Sussex. As has  the Duchess' sister.  The only reason why the Duchess would want any close liaison with her sister and her father, it seems to me.  Is for her to be able to keep a close watch on their to nullify their intriguing.  And even that would not be to the Duchess' advantage, as they, her father and sister, Samantha, would then assume the mantle of ' a close and reliable source to the Royal Family' has said that.....' Which means that the only appropriate stance the Duchess of Sussex can take in her relationship with her father and her sister, is that of keep away from them.  Yes, there is a certain amount of poignancy, sadness in that, but it is the best approach.  It is a pragmatic approach which thousands, if not millions of families have experienced and come to terms with.  It is called, 'we are all adults, so

No, it is that, but it is also a marriage between the Duchess of Sussex and the Duke of Sussex. It is a marriage between the British Royal Family and the Markle Family. And here lies some of the problem and challenges for the success of this Royal Marriage.  The fact that Meghan does not have the support of different members of her family.  A not in itself insurmountable difficulty, but one which could become so.  When the unsupportiveness of some members of the Duchess' family are actively attacking and undermining the Duchess, and, yes, the Royal Family. Which is what the Duchess of Sussex now have to contend with. As her father and sister, it appears, contrive with one or more of the British populist newspaper, to do their worst to undermine her and the British Royal Family.  In this respect, the only thing they have to say about the Duchess and the Royal Family is negative things. The 'Duchess is avoiding making contact with her family.'  &#

In the hope that, this time, it will be different, and that they will be able to end his genocidal campaign against them.  That this time, it is more likely that there are those among the Chavistas, both the rank and file members and the leadership.   Who will have finally come to realise that Nichola Maduro is not leading them to the promised land.   But that he is successfully transforming the country and its people into Hell. The land of the living dead. It is more likely that, now, although the people are weaker, suffering from struggle and poverty fatigue. So, also, is the Maduro Regime.  It also is now weaker, since it cannot become stronger while the people on whom it preys have been diminished by its greed and brutality.  But the people can prevail against it, because they are still many, and have become more united against it, in their desperation can come forth the strength to remove Maduro and his parasitic regime. Yes, Venezuelans need to consi

But the Sun, which the ancients have deified into becoming 'The Sun God.' The giver of life.  The giver of warmth to humans in the coldness of Winter. The giver of hope that Spring will come again, and that Summer will follow it.  I Am not about religion, but about life unrestricted by the limited liturgical vision of Christianity. Which, like all things pleasing, it seeks to appropriate and 'Christianise.' Be it things, ideas or people. So, whether you consider me to be 'Christmas', as do the Christians, and represents the unproven birth of Jesus Christ.  Or whether you see me as being about the pre-Christian 'Pagan' celebration of the 'Winter Solstice.'  This, I say unto you, enjoy me, and do so in your own traditions and manner of celebrating.  Be happy and let no feeling of sadness or guilt enter your heart about whether you are doing the right thing in enjoying yourself and making merry.  Because this is reall

Before the fairy tale marriage failed, and she fell from grace, as it were, tragically died in a terrible car crash on 31st August 1997, at the age of 36. Yes, it is the fairy tale marriage of Diana Spencer and Prince Charles, which has given rise to another fairy tale romance and marriage between a Prince and a 'non-Royal.'  That of Prince Harry, the son of Charles and Diana, and Meghan Markle.  A royal marriage is, of course, no everyday event. It is more worthy of the people's attention when it is a marriage between a royal family and a 'non-royal family.'  But it is even more special and commanding of the people's attention, when it a marriage between people of different ethnic origins. A marriage between two people presents inherent challenges, obstacles and opportunities for it to be either successful or unsuccessful.  A marriage between a Prince of the British Royal Family and a 'non-royal woman of mixed White-Black A

'In stripping Christmas of much of its mystique and pseudo 'divinity', humans have, for a change, made religious dictate works for them/us. Instead of servile suspend our incredulity and unquestioningly observe them.' Yes, Christmas, I am, so I entreat you to enjoy me and make merry. Forget all your troubles, if you can, and come together and have a ball and feast your tired eyes, feet, hands, bodies and soul upon me.  Because, all that I, Christmas, ask, demand, beg of you, is that you have the short moment of rest from your normal daily chores, and make merry.  In making yourself merry, in extracting some happiness at this Solstised time of the year, you will add to my happiness. My feeling of satisfaction on having accomplished my purpose. What am I? I am Christmas, but do not worry yourself about the 'holy' clothing in which some have wrapped me.  The piousness with which some have and are speaking of me. Though it be true that so
