AN ENIGMATIC AND POIGNANT JOURNEY AROUND MY AGEING AND EVOLVING MOTHER! PART 105.

-








Because, although my dear mother continues to apparently ceaselessly bemoans her chronic ill health, it does appear that she could, indeed, nearly live forever. 

After all, it really is the case that my dear mother has already, by several years, outlived my expectation of how long she could or would live for. 

I can remember how over 10 years ago she underwent a major surgery in the country of her birth, and how I thought she might not survived it. 

And though I am old enough and have sufficient knowledge and experience to know that a person's destiny does not have to wait for a specific age, by rather the conducive or unfortunate fateful circumstances, to remove us from amongst the living. 





I now find myself pondering my own fate, pondering whether I might not depart the world before my dear mother.

I do not know if such thoughts enters into the consciousness of my dear mother, as she seems too often preoccupied with her desire to be free of her numerous ailments. 

To be free of pain, but not apparently considering the ultimate irony, which is that, to be free of the pains she complains of and which are both real and magnified. 

Would require her departure from amongst the living. But for now, although there are times, days when my dear mother's energy level, her indication of a strong and motivated life-source within her emaciating body, there is nothing to suggest her imminent departure or passing.

To be continued!

THE ISRAEL/PALESTINIAN WAR AND HOW ISRAEL'S LATEST ATROCITY MIGHT HAVE SEALED ITS EVENTUAL DEFEAT! P.4.

   It is unlikely that things were ever getting better. But, at least the Palestinians were alive, they had their homes, their roads, water, electricity, the basic requirements for having at least a basic life.  They had more freedom of movement in their 'reservations' than they have now, with the storm troopers crawling over and around them as so many wasps.  So, yes, it is likely that, for the majority of Palestinians who are being forced to pay the price the Zionist Israeli State has decided to extract from them, the attack of 7th October might be considered to have been a tactical mistake by Hamas and the other Resistance Fighters. And yet, it could be the case that the overall and eventual outcome of the attack for the Palestinian people will be a positive one. It has broken the then impasse, the stalemate in progressing the realisation of a sovereign and viable Palestinian State.  It has forced the nations and international organisations, ordinary people of the world to t

JUST A THOUGHT - ARE PRISONS A SYMBOL OF A PUNITIVE SOCIETY? THE END....

By increasing the number of statutes by which citizens can be criminalised. So as to provide a sufficient supply of inmates for the prison population.   As we have seen, for example, in the United States of America. The so-called most advanced country in the world.   But also undoubtedly, probably the most retrograde one, when it comes to the manufacturing of criminal laws, and administration of 'crime and punishment.'  Since, not only does it make having more prisoners as a necessity, in order to keep the private companies holding and processing them, and the 'law enforcement departments, in business.  But it also encourages corruption amongst all those involved in the crime and punishment industry, through the quest to generate income and profits. Objectives which they seek to achieve by brutalising inmates and increasing their prospects for having to pursing a criminal career.  By ensuring that inmates being discharged from the prison industry are l

THE ISRAEL/PALESTINIAN WAR AND HOW ISRAEL'S LATEST ATROCITY MIGHT HAVE SEALED ITS EVENTUAL DEFEAT! P.1

  So, what are my thoughts about Hamas' unprecedented attack on parts of Israel, which has resulted in hundreds of men, women and children, some of them soldiers, being killed and thousands of Israelis becoming shocked and traumatised as they have probably never experienced before? And what are my thoughts about Israel's Zionist government's brutal and merciless counter-attack on, not just Hamas' fighters and military, but on all Palestinians and their social, economic and essential infrastructures in both Gaza and the West Bank? The egg did not come 'out of nowhere', and neither did the chicken. Everything of substance and significance has a context which can help us to define and understand it more than we could or would be able to do, without that context.  This principle also applies to Hamas' attack on Israel, just as how it applies to Israel's subsequent and continuing attack on the Palestinians. And so it is that Hamas' attack on Israel was a

THE EMMANUEL CHURCH SERVICE - GODISM, RELIGION AND THE END OF RATIONALITY?

All or many things are indeed 'bright and beautiful', but did the lord god really made them all? And what about the things which are not 'bright and beautiful'? So, there I was on this dour but still refreshing Sunday, with the heavens or sky enveloped in grey clouds, as far as the seeing eye could see, as the saying goes, when the BBC's Radio 4 Morning Service came on. As much as I am an evolutionist, I still could not help but being spiritually stirred by the stirring force of the 'religious' song which the congregation - from The Emmanuel Church, in Manchester, United Kingdom - began to sing.  You might imagine, wrongly, that this was a case of god getting through to a non-believer, but that is not really the case. It was really more a matter of a person who had a background of having to go to Church and had been indoctrinated throughout early childhood. A person in whom the 'fear of god and fear of hell' had been instilled during th
