IT WAS WRITTEN IN THE STARS - AN ACCOUNT OF LIVES IMPACTED BY 'EVERYDAY ADVERSITIES.' PART 62.

  '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.' The purpose of his incarceration was primarily to punish him for the offences for which he was convicted.  If his time inside also succeeded in helping to reform him and turn him away from pursuing a life outside of the law, that would be good, but it was not the primary reason for giving him the long sentence he was given.  Kazaliwa had to resolve to be tough, very tough, if he was to survive his time inside, without it, yes, fucking him up too badly.  And probably leading to him pursuing the same lifestyle after he leaves prison.  He had to be both mentally, psychologically and physically strong.   Being less empathetic towards other might serve him better than being too e

Religion and the belief in 'god' have been around for probably thousands of years before what we could define as the establishment and development of  the modern political and scientific estates.   As such, and having to operate in the highly restrictive and oppressive religious conditions and environment they were set,  they were not able to compete successfully with the religious or First Estate.   Had emperical evidence and logic been allowed to be the guiding principles underpinning the competition.   Then, probably most of the major scientific developments which occurred after the French Revolution of 1789, might have taken place decades, if not centuries earlier.  If only the pace
