THIS HACKING THING BETWEEN PRESIDENTS PUTIN AND OBAMA; WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT, DONALD? PART 2.

Image
Is it that President Obama is being petulant and keeping a grudge against President Putin? Probably blaming him for 'causing Hillary Clinton and the Democrats' to lose the Presidential election, and thereby placing his, Barak's  limited, if not puny legacy at such immense risk of being destroyed? Putin is not on your team, President Obama, but, is it because 'your team' is so puffed up with the misplaced pride of its assumed Anglo-Saxon values, which did not prevent your country, the United States, from being largely founded on the destruction of its native people, and on the enslavement of your African forebears? Yes, President Putin might have said to you, your country is certainly the most powerful country in the world, based on its military and economic might, but, my people, the peoples of the Russian Federation, of Europe, have more of a history than the United States, and might.  But, of course Mr President, with typical American arrogance, you d

THE RIGHT OF THE INDIVIDUAL TO BE PROTECTED FROM AN EXISTENCE WORSE THAN DEATH - BRITAIN'S SUPREME COURT TAKE NOTE! PART 1.

Mr Conway is, as I understand it, a 67 year old man who suffers from a terminal disease, motor neurone disease, which, cruelly, gradually robs the sufferer of his/her mobility, motility, and, ultimately, capacity to speak and make known their wishes. Such a situation, Mr Conway fears, will ultimately leave him "entombed" in his body. Not imprisoned, you will notice, but 'entombed', which, according to the inference, for Mr Conway, will be the equivalent of him being buried alive. I have had the pleasure of a bubbly and effervescent younger relative who, in his twenties, was afflicted with this most pernicious of disease.  As the years went by and the disease degenerated, we had to watch him losing his ability to walk, then to move his limbs, and then to speak or display any recognition of the presence of anybody around him. Before he was mercilessly and involuntarily concealed in a nebulous world, which, hopefully and mercifully, he would have had no consc

JUST A THOUGHT - SO, WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU GAVE YOUR PARTNER A NICE MASSAGE?

Image
Yes, citizen of the world, when was the last time you gave your partner a nice and relaxing massage? No, not paid for a professional to give it to him or her, but you, her or his lover or partner, or wife or husband, if you prefer, entreated your partner to sit or lie down and allow you to use your hands to gently manipulate and massage his or her tired and weary body, after an hard day's work at home or at the external workplace? Yes, that is probably not something you are given to do, because you cannot make or find the time to do it. You are having to spend all your time looking after the children and/or rush rushing here and there to get to and from work. To spend your time 'doing more important things', as it were.   And in any case, might not your partner suspect that your offer of giving him or her a massage is only your way of saying you are feeling like having sex, or that it might be no more than a precursor to having sex? And, if that were to be

This is a simple but but relaxing video. Please take a look and, if you are so inclined, allow yourself to relax, de-stressed and be at one with the ephemerality of it all, and the prospect of something else as soothing taking its place tomorrow.

In  11 days time, President Barak Obama, the once most powerful African-American of 21st Century, if not of all times, will have become the lowly 'former President Obama', and will be much on par with any other former presidents of the United States. The difference being that he will have been the only black former American president, and attribute which will not protect him from the racist and discriminatory attacks which he had had to endure during his 8 year Presidency.  Of course, we should not forget nor dismiss the fact that, the by then former President Obama, is a product of two ethnic communities, one black African and the other white European. That, upon assuming the Presidency, broadly speaking, he held out the prospect of achieving more unity between these two ethnic groups, just as how he promised that he would advance the progress towards peace in a hostile world. It is debatable as to whether President Obama has made any progress in realising eith

A THOUGHT FOR NOW - PRESIDENT ELECT DONALD TRUMP AND THE CORRUPTING EFFECT OF POWER. PART 1.

Image
Now, it is said that power corrupts, in which case, it might be that power has the capacity to corrupt honest people with integrity; people who has clear visions of what they want to achieve and how to achieve it. Essentially, people who want to achieve objectives which are intended for the good or betterment of society. However, upon having achieved the power which should enable them to do so, people in power find that there are strings attached to their power, strings which they have to pull and by which they are pulled by those who control those strings. Without which this new founded power cannot be exercised effectively or efficiently. And so are the honest incumbents of power find themselves at the mercy of those within the system through which the exercise of power is conducted, and whom they must  either remove or yield to. Which might be very difficult, if not impossible to achieve, as the pullers and controllers of the strings through which they control the incumbents

JUST A THOUGHT - IF WE CAN BECOME WHAT WE CONSUME, THEN, COULD OUR THOUGHTS BECOME US? THE END.

Image
And, if, by thinking 'good' or 'evil' thoughts, we can become 'good' or 'evil', how long does the process of becoming either takes? Would it also be dependent on factors such as our age at the time, our upbringing and the values and morals in which we have become socialised? Is it partly a function of being 'labelled 'evil' or 'good' or 'bad'', then 'internalising' that label and perceiving ones self, as embodying it, for each person to become it; 'good', 'bad' or 'evil.?  Many of us know that 'good parenting' theory proposes that it is harmful to label a developing child as 'a bad wicked or evil child.' On the premise that a child so labelled, could end up perceiving of him/herself as a 'wicked', 'bad' or 'evil' person. Which could then lead to low self-esteem, resentment, and, who knows, probably to a self-fulfilling prophesy. Consequently, the ped
