JUST PHILOSOPHISING - ON HOW NOTHING MATTERS, REALLY, BUT THE LIVING!

Image
Everything is about life and living, which is not surprising, as only us, the living, who are able to be cognisance of and comprehend what is and what is not.  Admittedly, to the extent of our competences The things which has meaning can only truly have such meanings for those, us, who are able to comprehend and evaluate those meanings.  It is only for us, the living, to whom those meanings can make sense. Not to those who were once alive, but are now dead and leaving only the the memories of them behind.  Memories which some of us will hold dear and place great value on.  But memories which others might find painful and grievous because of the things which the person/s who are no longer with us, the living.   Walking the earth and perpetrating the things for which they are remembered, by they 'good' or 'bad', are, correctly or incorrectly, held responsible.

RELIGIOUS DILEMMAS - THE PARADOX OF CHRIST's AS GOD'S ILLEGITIMATE SON AND FOUNDATION OF CHRISTIANITY.. PART 23.

Image
G.: I mean, have I not been purported to have given Moses the so-called Ten Commandments, amongst which is one advising people not to commit fornication or adultery?  Would that not made it a crime, a sin, if you like, for me to covet Joseph's betroth, Mary Magdalene?  Would I not, as you have already stated, committed a grave sin against both Mary and Joseph?  And would I not then have gone against the pale, by having committed such an appalling act of deceit?   And then present it as an act of exaltation, as a blessing being conferred upon Mary and Joseph, by me having seduced her? That I should give the impression that the best thing that can happen to a woman, is that she should be seduced?   By me, God, and have my child, whether she is betrothed, engaged or be married?  To be continued!

AN ENIGMATIC AND POIGNANT JOURNEY AROUND MY AGEING AND EVOLVING MOTHER! PART 47.

Image
The events which she experienced were 'real', but where she has gone wrong, in my analysis.   Is that she is failing to place her 'dream experience' in the context of ' a dream' and is instead mixing it up with 'waking realities or experiences.'  She is failing to maintain the boundaries which 'ordinary people' draw and maintain between our 'dreaming in our sleep state', and those occurring in our 'waking states.'  This has led her to confuse the two and to use 'waking state experiences' to try to explain and give significance to her distressed or bad dreams, during her 'sleeping' and/or her 'inbetween states.' As to why my dear mother is 'failing' to separate the boundaries and apply the appropriate responses to them.   Might be due to the increasing deficiencies and inefficiencies of her/our biological infrastructure and our social-programming.   To be continued!

A JAMAICAN CHILDHOOD - REFLECTIONS ON. PART 3.

Image
That as it maybe, Shaka was one of 6 children born to his parents in a small district called Hillside, in the mid-Eastern part of Jamaica.  This part of the Island has an illustrious history, including having the parish in which the famous/infamous Morant Bay Rebellion took place, on 11th October 1865.  Leading to the death of nearly 500 black Jamaican men and women, including that of two Jamaica's National Heroes; Paul Bogle and George William Gordon. It is not surprising that this comparatively small Island, of only about 4,423 sq.miles, or 146 miles long and 52 miles wide, at its widest points, has an ambivalent reputation, but also one which is exceeds its size. Shaka and his 5 siblings and parents lived in the small village of Hillside, which had probably no more than about 150-200 people at its most populous time.  The district was situated to the east side of what Shaka came to know of as the Johnson River.   To be continued!

BELGIAN GRAND PRIX - TEAM FERRARI HARED IT TO POLE, WHILE TEAM MERCEDES TORTOISED IT TO P.3.

Image
A Big Congratulation also, to Team Ferrari and Vettel, and to Team Mercedes and Hamilton, for having made it to P.2 and P.3,  even thought their performance came nowhere near to matching Leclearc's and Ferrari's blistering pace. However, as always, while the achievements of Q.3 of all Formula 1 Grand Prixs offer the racers attaining them some advantages, especially at the beginning of the race.  It is what transpires during the race that counts, and determines which racers will be able to convert and surpass their Q.3 positions, and which will be demoted.  It is the case that Leclerc has not had the good fortune, in the past, of making the most of the advantages he has achieved. A fact which could add to his anxiety during today's race. Hamilton will be concerned to make up for and reward his team for making good the damage his mistake has done to his car and performance during Practising and Qualifying.  Bottas will want to do something impressive

BELGIAN GRAND PRIX - TEAM FERRARI HARED IT TO POLE, WHILE TEAM MERCEDES TORTOISED IT TO P.3. PART 1.

Image
So far the preparations and practice for today, Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix has been flowing in the direction of Team Ferrari and their spectacularly performing drivers; Charles Leclerc and Sebastian Vettel.  With Leclerc pretty much ruthlessly demolishing ~Team Mercedes to win Pole Position during the Qualifying Session of the race on Saturday, while Sebastian Vettel took P.2 position.  Yes, the relative finishing positions at the end of Q3, make it seem like Ferrari and their racers had taken the plane, while Team Mercedes and their racers, Hamilton and Bottas, had made the journey by car.   And had been obstructed by heavy traffic.  As well as Hamilton, unfortunately, had ran off the track and sustained significant damage to Car 44, in one of what has been, but with decreasing validity, referred to as "his rare mistakes."  Yes, I am a proud fan of Lewis Hamilton, but it is quite clear that these mishaps can no longer be accurately described as &quo
