A Picture Of Verdant Floral And Faunal Solemnity?

Image
This is a video of how the garden looks at a near optimum moment in time and space, during it Summer resurrection. With its verdance and faunal and floral beauty being most pleasing to the eyes and ears of those who appreciate the joys of being at one with 'tamed' nature. Please take a quiet look and see and listen to what is on offer, and, do enjoy it, if you will.

JUST PHILOSOPHISING - ON STATES OF BEING, MORALLY IMMUNE.PART 2.

Was the purpose of the massive coverage, e.g., to make those nations and those of us who could help the migrants/refugees, and the countries neighbouring the countries from which they were fleeing, aware of the disaster?  And organise appropriate emergency and longer term plans to help both the migrants/refugees, and the surrounding countries which were severely impacted upon?  Well, yes, that certainly was part of it. And to the extent to which the saturation coverage was successful in doing so, it could be considered as having 'been a good thing.' Or, was the purpose of the saturation coverage on the refugee/migrant crisis to warn Europeans of the perceived imminent 'threat' which the mass migration might pose to their way of life'?  And to make it a call to arms for them to  take action to 'defend their countries and their Christian and 'democratic' heritage'? Well, here again, if that was one of the purpose of the saturation cover

COUNTING YOUR BLESSINGS AND GIVING THANKS AND PRAISES. PART.3.

Image
Well, some people might be of the opinion that those who have reasons to give thanks and praises should be giving it to god, to Jesus, to the Virgin Mary, to the priests and the prophets.  However, I am looking closer to 'home', as it were. I am not concerned with the prophets, priests or with the gods.  None of whom, as far as I can tell, have ever been able to directly respond to anybody's call for help, without some deception being involved. No, it is my contention that we should be giving thanks and praises to the people who are directly providing the care, the help, the comfort and the assistance or convenience which we need. God, Christ, the prophets and the priests are not the ones who are helping the lame person to get up in the morning, get dressed and fed, and helped to get through the day.  It is their carer, who might be their relatives, neighbour, friends or a paid employee.  And it is to them whom thanks and praises should be given. It is no

COUNTING YOUR BLESSINGS AND GIVING THANKS AND PRAISES. PART.2.

Did you just have to go into your car and start the engine, this morning, or catch the commuter bus, train or metro and be where you intend to be in 'no time at all'?  Or did you have to walk a at times perilous and long walk to get to your desired destination? Then give thanks and praises. And what of your health and fitness? Do you have to take and keep taking the pills to keep going on the train of life?  Or be thrown off earlier down the line, if you do not have the means of getting and keep taking the pills? Then, give thanks and praises! Have you got a 'decent' job, a livelihood which does not entail you killing and maiming your fellow humans, directly or indirectly? Then give thanks and praises for it being so. Are you in good, non-abusive relationships with most of those who are close to you, with family members, friends, and employer or employees? Then, do give thanks and praises. Are you able to, all things considered, live a reasonable

A CONVERSATION WITH GOD. PART 15.

Image
For thousands of years, humans, first the priests, shaman, and the clergy, and then the ordinary people, have sought to speak with the gods, and then for the gods.  Always being secure in the knowledge that the gods would not denounce what they have reported of these conversations. So, why have the gods remained silent? Why have the gods chosen not to speak for themselves? To you they attribute what the see as the intricate and, at least previously, inimical designs and 'creations' of the human body, the earth, the universe, and all that there is within and outside of them.  To you, G. They attribute all that is beautiful and delightful. G.: You mean, T. That they have put me on a pedestal; made me preeminent. Which is probably not surprising, as it is as would be expected of an entity who they have made their god. T.: Exactly, G. Which is why, G.  If we cannot conceive of you in this manner. The manner of you being an all powerful, with an intelle

These squirrels certainly cannot fly like a bird, but that is not going to stop them raiding the bird feeders. Please take a look at their skillful and successful ingenuity. Which, hopefully might bring you some pleasure.

JUST PHILOSOPHISING - THE BURKA AND THE WEST: NO CONCESSION? THE END!

It is not fair or just, or, indeed, in the interest of the 'common good', that newcomers should expect or be allowed to establish a way of living.   Which could result in the majority of the population having to fight again for 'rights and freedoms' for which they and/or their forebears had already fought for and won. At the same time, neither is it 'just or fair', or in the interest of the 'common good.'  That the new comers to a country or nation, should be expected to be stripped of, or sacrifice everything which has made them who they were before.  Which have given their their 'pre-immigrant' identities. Although they should expect, if asked to do so.  To give up some or all of the the contentious things which have been preventing them from living the kind of lives which their hosts are living.  And which they are probably aspiring to live themselves.  As indicated by the fact that they had chosen or been forced to mo
