This is a rather 'action packed' video of humans and birds having great fun, 'feeding off' each specie and the eco-system with which they are a part of. Please take a look and see if you are able to place yourself in the frame and extract some pleasure from it. This video is with 'natural sound', but I will be putting it to some canned music, as it were.

At the same time, while being, it seems to me, necessary attributes for the survival of the human specie, this tendency to be suspicious of and guarded towards 'the other/s.'   The state of enlightenment of any given human society, is also an indication or expression of its level of progression. From the more 'instinctive' and 'primordial' to the more advanced stages of stages,  of the evolutionary process. It denotes the evolution of society, in moving away from our 'identities' being solely or primarily predicated on the physical and cultural characteristics of 'our group.'  Such as ethnicity, religion and physical characteristics like colour, hair and physique, to become more informed by individualistic ones.  With more emphasis on attributes such as education, employment, personal, philosophical and political tendencies. The enlightened person's identity is less informed by traditional attributes,  such as religious persuasi

So, will President Trump, T.U's legacy make the world a better place? Well, considering the divisive approach which he is taking towards his Presidency, with the governing or overarching principles being those of 'America First' and 'Making America Great Again.'  With its implicit and explicit inference that the intention is to achieve his objectives at the cost of other workers, other peoples and countries. It is not obvious that PTTU is likely to leave a post'Trump legacy which will have made the world into a better place.  Clearly, if he were to be successful in his plan to create thousands or millions of jobs for American workers, living in America, that, without considering the alternative cost, would be a success for those getting those jobs.  Similarly,  if Trump were to be successful in building his 'Great Wall of Dispair,' along the several thousand miles of border dissecting the United States and Mexico, depending on your political

Have you ever considered how we are all travelling on the train of destiny; of life and living, as it were?  No need to announce, 'all aboard', because, yes, we the living are all aboard, embarking on the journey of our lives, as it were. All aboard this unique and fateful train, which will take us here and there, and nearly everywhere else, as we go cha. cha. chachurring along the line, which sometimes causes the train to glide, almost imperceptibly along the line of time and space, sea, land and air.  And, at other times, so turbulently that it jolts us out of our tranquility or daily routines and gives us the fright of our lives. And on and on we travel, playing our respective roles in the never ending drama of travelling on the train of time.  A train on which we live our lives and taking care not to fall of or having to disembark at this or that stop, for fear of it becoming our last.   As we contemplate our destiny, while travelling on the train o

How can we achieve 'equality' and 'fairness', when each of us, as individuals, families, ethnic group, religious group, country, etc,  tend to be motivated by the principle of 'me or us first?'  When our individual needs are met, then it we focus on meeting the needs of our families, our community, etc, etc. And only after these needs are met, might we, in general, focus on helping to meet the needs of the 'others?'  When each tribe is motivated by and aspiring to achieve tribal objectives and interests, above national ones, and when each country, seeks after its own interests above all others, irrespective of how grand or desirable? As the eminent economist, John Adam Smith, might have so accurately observed, humans will only cooperate where and when our own self-interests are unattainable, without such cooperation.  Without our mutual self-interests coinciding, us humans, it seems, are primarily motivated by the doctrine of 'me-ism.&#

This video has captured various kinds of birds, including pigeons and magpies, pursuing probably their respective self-interests, with some feeding and others flitting about and providing a delightful and brief display of their aerial skills. Please take a lot, and, if you are so inclined; enjoy!

We can imagine local supporters of these wars on the land and its fauna and flora habitats, arguing that, 'it is our forests, etc.'  So we have 'the right' to exploit it for our development and advancement towards, let us say, the living standards of western countries.  And, of course these arguments are not without some merits. Since it really is the case that these western countries used to have vast natural resources, which they have exploited and depleted over the centuries. Now feeling their future threatened as much as that of the people living in these countries with much of their eco-systems intact, they must now try to convince these countries of the wisdom of exploiting theirs in a more responsible and viable manner, for the benefit of all humans. We can see the impact of China's massive and rapid pace of industrialisation on the quality of its air, with great harm being done to the health of its citizens and eco-system. Which gives rise to i
