It is said that business needs a climate of certainty for it to take place and thrive.  That investors will not invest their money in any venture if they lack confidence in the stability and security of the economic environment.  Which means that they will not invest their money in ventures which will not guarantee them a fair return in terms of profits over the duration of their involvement with the venture.  And, although investors will invest in what we might call high risk ventures, they will only do so if the venture can guarantee them a sufficiently high return to outweigh the level of risk they are  taking.  Of course, even with the promise of a high or very high return on their investment, there is still some risk that they could lose all of their money.  Naturally, however, prudent entrepreneurs and investors will not, where they have a choice. Invest in regions and countries where there is a high level of social, political and/or industrial tension and co

Then, our differential cultures, traditions, customs and religions, or absence thereof, are likely to influence, if nod determine what things we find or experience as being 'good', 'funny', 'happy', 'bad', 'honourable', 'shameful', etc.  All of which can lead to some cultures and way of life being perceived by people from other cultures and way of living, as being less desirable, harsh or harsher, less advanced or enlightened, and so on. And so it is, that, while it is desirable, on a national and internal level, that all of us humans should probably be able to reach the stage where we can all or mostly share in one another's sense of 'goodness.'  Of 'happiness', 'fun', 'justice and injustice', etc, we have to be pragmatic in accepting that it might never happen. Or, if it does, it is likely to take a very long time. 'A good life', depending on our particula

There is an understandable desire within us humans to constantly improve things.  Our way of life, our standard of life. Our knowledge and understanding of ourselves and the world and universes around and within us.  But we cannot accomplished or realise all of our desires, our hopes and our wishes.  Especially when the relate to not only us, but to other people and situations over which we do not have any or enough influence and power.  This requires us to become more focus and circumspect. More pragmatic in deciding what is desirable, probably and achievable.  And not to become too obsessed with wishes, hope and too high and unrealistic expectations, which might not or are clearly unachievable . These things include personal, social, political, economic and, yes, even spiritual and/or religious aspirations and ambitions. Considered from the perspective of the proverbial 'average person', it is likely that our aspiration is to 'have a good life'

And watched it as it gradually became larger and larger, until the kid dropped out, and its mother began licking it.  Until it literally became alive, and then, over a matter of one or more hours, unsteadily pulled itself up to, yes, unsteadily stood on its four feet.  Before taking its first steps, and, in the course of time, its first run and prancing, as it showed of its accumulative skills to its proud mother.  As I experienced the joys of the life of my goats and pigs, I was not yet into contemplating the joy and pride I was to later experienced, as a parent.  How I would be blessed to pass on the skills, knowledge and experience of life, which my dear mother, in her turn of parenthood, was now busily endowing me with.  As she guided me into how best to care for the animals she had placed into my care. This was something I did for a few years, and, like the period of helping my mother to keep the little shop.  One of the most memorable and enjoyable

T.: We have to abide by the traditions, the religious beliefs and customs, by the rules and even laws which our ancestors have set down.  We can sometimes think a thing, but not be able to utter it or put it into action. L.G.: By which, T., I take it that you mean individual humans have their path determined by the group and/or the leaders of the group; the elites? T.: Precisely so, L.G. And, depending on which part of the world we are living in, and the benevolence or malignancy of the government that governs over or exploit and abuses us.  We will have alot, or little or no power to exercise what might be called 'free-will.' Such as that which the ancients said you, L.G., bestowed upon Adam and Eve.  After they acquired knowledge and decided to choose their own path, instead of continuing to decide for them. L.G.: Yes, I gathered that, T. And, as you said, I, according to the ancients, have experienced that with 'Adam and Eve', even if I do n

After all, come rain or Sun, I would have to wake up early in the mornings to take the goats out to be fed.  Always being careful to tie them in such a way that they could have as much feeding spaces as possible.   But without the risk of them going every which way between the trees, and risk hanging themselves as their tethering rope wraps itself around the trees.  There was also the traumatic occasion when, having left one of the goats on Backra's land one morning.  A massive dog belonging to one of  the owners of large local sugar estate, traveled some distance to get to it and savaged the goat.  Leading to my dear mother having to sell it to be butchered. Upon returning from school to be given this devastating news.  I became upset enough to walked to the nearest largest town where the man who bought the mortally wounded animal lived.  It was too late by the time I got there, and I do not remember the details of what unfolded after that.  T

To become traitors, by acting as the 'Trojan Horse', by which the Americans and their allies, such as the United Kingdom, are enabled to invade their country.  An act of betrayal which is to be rewarded by them replacing the planned overthrow of the Maduro Regime. So, are Juan Guaido and the National Assembly and supporters of the anti-Maduro opposition going to commit treason against their country?  For the equivalent of 30 pieces of silver?  Are they going to go ahead with their planned protest on Wednesday and Saturday, knowing full well that, ipso facto, it will be a further invitation of the Americans to invade and overtake their country?  Are they really going to show themselves to be totally without any honour and pride, loyalty to their country?  Let us hope not. Let us hope that Juan Guaido, the National Assemby, and members of the opposition, will come to their senses and realise that.  Becoming traitors and committing treason against their c

Taku.: Quite, L.G. Do you mind, God, if I refer to you as L.G., which, as you know well, means 'Lord God'? L.G.: Not at all, Taku, or, if you do not mind, T.T T.: Not in the least, L.G. T., it shall be, as I very much appreciate that we should be able to have this conversation in an atmosphere of serenity, and without it being adversely affected by our differential statuses. L.G. Well, T. I can say I agree with you whole-heartedly. Not being one who has anything to gain from humans prostrating themselves before me, or, indeed, requiring it of you, of them.  So, T. with those little niceties having been dealt with. Shall we now get to the reason for you asking for this meeting? T.: As you have probably already surmised, L.G. My reason for asking for this discussion, concerns the matter of purpose, of raison de tre.  You see, L.G. Us humans are in a dilemma about our place, we are at a loss, if we are to be honest with ourselves and with you. L

So, what are the Venezuelans to do with this poisonous offering which the American government is offering them?  This appearance of the Americans bringing them 'democracy', and, they would argue, 'freedom from the reign of the Maduro Regime.  But what Venezuelans need most of all, is to have enough food to eat. Is to have enough medicines to relieve or heal them of their illnesses.  To have enough utilities to run their homes adequately, and to be able to sell their oil and be able to pay their way nationally and internationally.  These, surprisingly, are not the things which the Americans are concerned with helping the Venezuelans to resolve.  Because, frankly, the Americans do not give a fuck with the alleviation of these problems and needs of the Venezuelans.  To the contrary, the Trump administration wants to see these problems and needs escalate massively, so that they can achieve their goal.  Which is the removal of the Maduro Regime, and for Venez
