The corollary to which, I assume, is that, since she does not believe that 'she is mad', they must indeed be happening and she should continue to believe that these events are taking place.  A more than usual catch 22 situation, in that she must continue to hold onto thoughts and behaviours which can be symptomatic of 'madness', in order to maintain her sense of sanity, of her 'not being mad.' However difficult my dear mother makes herself out to be. However powerless she presents her, with the implication that I and others need to do more to take onboard and act upon the concerns she presents, even when it seems to me that there are no logical and reasonable way to do so.  I must, I need to continue to work with the recurring dilemma which I am presented with. I am aware that my dear mother oftentimes presents herself as being extremely unhappy and dissatisfied with her situation.  That she seems too often to be focusing on what I consider to be small issues, e

After each killing of their innocent sons and daughters, mothers and fathers, brothers and sister, old and young people by criminal individuals or the police.  Before things quieten down and calm is restored and the circle is again negligently closed, before the next  callous murder/s is perpetrated and, by design or default, is seized upon and escalates into becoming a causus belli. So, again, is it going to be different this time, and, if so, is the difference going to be effective and timely in significantly and endurably remove the scourge of  endemic and institutionalised and functional racism from American society? And brought about the age of real freedom, justness and equality for all Americans? We will probably know the answer within the next 6 months, after we have the outcome of America's Presidential Election!!!! But, in the meantime, it is great to see how people are coming from all strands and spectrum of society, in American as all over the world.   To peacefully but

'What we recall of our experiences of the past, tends to be a factor of how they impacted on our senses at the time, the strength of our continuing attachment to those experiences.   And the extent to which we have succeeded in assimilating them into our subsequent experiences and move on with our lives.' Upon arriving, after previously booking our visit, having provided the basic requirements of  full names, dates of birth, and address.  We then had to go through the standard induction procedure of having our photographs and finger prints taken, and submit the required identification documents.  And then there would be the waiting period, and the process of observing others waiting to visit and be observed by them.  With us wondering who they are visiting and what have their relatives and/or friends done to have taken them along this path towards what feels like an 'outcast community of prisoners and their families and friends'? We were all in the same boat, as it were

'If something does not have 'relevance' in the context of human understanding of what is logical and illogical, then, does its utility not becomes questionable? As sentient, thinking beings, us humans, individually and collectively, are always on the lookout to make sense of what our senses perceive. We are on the lookout for meaning to our lives and our existence.  Yes, it is the case that some of us have, I would argue, fallen into an exploratory rut or cul de sac, where we have stopped searching for 'meanings' in certain areas of our existence; credible ones.'   Thereby limiting our horizons and/or the ways in which we can explore, interpret and make sense of and enjoy them. And have simply, whether reluctantly, fearfully or simply lazily, accepted the 'meanings' which we have received from those who have preceded us in the history of the evolution and advancement of our species.  In one particular case, that of religious beliefs and theories, where t

Are the demographics of the the protesters and demonstrators and their supporters more reflective, more representative of all sectors of American society?  Of the different ethnicities, nationalities, genders, social classes, political and religious classes making up the American Family? Yes, what it is that we might detect that does or could be indicative that, ' it will be different this time; that real and fundamental changes are coming to America?' That the American people and government, the political and economic classes  are committed, this time; that they are all in it for the long haul, this time;  That they, the American people and government, are going to do the necessary work to advance the Project of the American Dream.  Which the Founding Fathers began, and make it into a reality for Americans of colour, for All Americans? We do not see President ~Trump and his Republicon administration making the necessary commitment. Indeed, they are not even 'saying the rig
