Yes, be happy because life is short and when it is done its done and there can never be any return to it. Yes, be happy and take what pleasure you can get from life and living, because all that really matters is the now, even if, being the prudent person you are, you do have this tendency to have an eye on the morrow, just in case you are still around when it comes around. Yes, enjoy your life your living because you can only do so when you still have life and is alive; when it is the only time that you can be conscious of life and living and what you are doing with it. Yes, be happy and, if you will or have to do so, work work work to get the medium or money to splash out and enjoy your life your living and not be content that only the wealthy and the elite have the privilege of doing so. Yes, endeavour to get your fair share of adrenaline rush, and, occasionally, at least, bounce along on the edge, avoiding falling into the abyss before your time. Yes, do not f

More of the simple, yet complex things we are privileged to see and experience, when we are blessed with the miracle of sight. Please take a look at this video, and, if you are inclined to do so, see beyond its simplicity, and enjoy what you will of it.

Like a vessel which has capacity for only so much contents, so is it that I cannot reasonably expect to hold on to all of what has made me me, and still have the capacity to take on all of the essentials which have made your country what it is.  Thus is the challenge which is facing me; that of making the necessary linguistic, religious, cultural and worldview adjustments which will enable me to make a reasonable accommodation to your society, but without losing all that makes me me, or losing it mechanically, as opposed to organically. So it is that your fears and resentment, like my own and my hopes, are founded in fact and ignorance. The fact that you do not want to risk what you have and could achieve, at the cost of allowing me into your country to work, build, and share it with you. But how can we move on? You the national of this country of which I aspire to become a part, for how long I do not know, and me, the desolate and often rebuffed migrant who has, by fo

Quite simply, I suspect that God would not choose to follow any of the religions which us humans have created. Which is not to say God would not believe in his/her own existence, because, when I speak of religions, I do not consider any of them to have arisen or to be predicated upon the existence of a sentient God, as it were. But, just say God were to walk amongst us humans, and to observe our competing and conflicting religions, and be minded to give one of them a try; which might God have choosen? Would God have chosen the Jewish religion, with all of its rituals and its exclusivity to people of Jewish heritage, many of whom might see themselves as the chosen people of God, their God? Or would he/she have chosen to follow the Sikh religion, again, as with Judaism, with its own rituals and its exclusivity to people of their culture and ethnic group? And what of Hinduism; might God not have chosen to ally him/herself with this very populous ethnic and religious gr

This is a short video, focusing on the setting of the Winter Sun, from a particular vantage point, as it displays its radiance, in an unsuccessful attempt to keep the cold at bay. It is not a great video, but do take a look ant it, if you are so inclined.

And it is true that I am tired of not having a viable livelihood, of not being able to put basic food on the table for my family, of not having anymore hope of being freed from the destitution which has been my constant and resented companion for much too long. That I despair of a situation, where, to literally risk dying of hunger and dehydration in the desert, or at the hands of the vulturous human traffickers or drown in the ocean, is better than remaining in the endlessly despairing conditions in which I and my family exist. You fear me because, you say, I do not know your language, and you resent having others amongst you whose language you do not understand, and who might be conspiring against you.  But, you fail to appreciate that, if I do not speak your language, because I have not had the time to learn it as yet, there are those amongst you who could be conspiring against me and abusing me in your language, without me being aware of it.  However, yes, I do agr

Wow, who would have believed it, except Nico and, probably, his wife, that he had been contemplating leaving Formula 1 racing, and that, even if he had not won his first, and, probably last, Formula 1 World Championship, he might still have retired from it? And so it was that, on Friday 2nd November 2016, Nico Rosberg, the proud man who had, just five days earlier, won his first World Championship, was fated to announced to a shocked world, that he was giving up Formula 1 racing. According to Rosberg, he had set himself the challenge of climbing his mountain, and had now achieved his dream, his aspiration, having remained consistent in doing so for the past 25 years. And the world of Formula 1 racing and its fans are stunned; why, they are asking, does a man who demonstrably has so much potential, who has his fans and who has such a strong Formula 1 team as Mercedes, chosen to leave the field at such a time? Yes, there is alot to be said for leaving or retiring when
