  .. to live with myself, if I were to find, or admit that have misled 'the flock'?     It cannot be that they take the simplistic and rather unenlightened approach or position of not questioning, not interrogating their religion, and are therefore oblivious to the contradictions and the 'this makes no sense aspects' of them.  It cannot be that they all take the 'it is all true, it is just that people misunderstand and misinterpret it approach.'  The 'there is no contradiction, it is all divinely inspired approach.' That, again, I believe, I think, is only a small part of this dilemma.  The bigger part of the answer, I think, is that of the people of the faith, the clergy, not wanting to give up on something which has been around for many hundreds, if not a few thousand years.  It is about numbers and longevity; the belief that, with 'our religions' having been around, survived for all these thousands if years, then we have a duty to protect and

  It takes only one leader, usually a man, to orchestrate and start a war or a national nation-building project, but it is the whole nation which has to bear the cost. President Putin had expected to wage a 'Blitzkrieg War', probably even a so-called 'surgical strike or 'Special Operations' invasion against Ukraine.  He had anticipated that the tremendous might of the Russian armed forces partly surrounding Ukraine would have resulted in the quick capitulation of the Ukrainian state, with minimal death and destruction.  But that did not occur, as is often the unpredictable way of wars.  Instead, the Ukrainians, similar to how Russian patriots fought against Hitler's armies invading Russian during the WW2. Have so far given the Russian forces more than the proverbial 'bloody nose.'  At the same time, this war is proving to be a terrifying trauma for the Ukrainians, with seemingly unimaginable devastation being brought upon them and thousands of their livi

  Water, be it that of the ocean, sea, lake, rivers, or amniotic fluids, speak loudly of our evolutionary roots. Which is probably why it, water, probably rarely fails to appeals to our inner being, be it with joy or fear. Please enjoy this video, if you find it appealing. It was taken at Lytham ST Anne, Blackpool, United Kingdom.

  ... to live with myself, if I were to find, or admit that have misled 'the flock'?     No, I only had to think of a sinful act, be it of hitting my mother when she subjected me to the whip for some misdemeanour I had committed or  act of kindness I failed demonstrate.   Or a now considered, innocent act of responding to the fire in my loins, by masturbating.  As 'God' is said to be capable of seeing and hearing everything, it followed that my thoughts were never private.  'God' would be privy to all of them and would, on the DJ, use them to condemn me.  It is probably a testament to the resilience of the majority of innocent and vulnerable souls like me, that, even as a child, as a teenager and now as a man.  I have not allowed this alien religious takeover of my head, my cogitations, my psychological functions, to take permanent root in my being. So, how would I really feel is I were a man of the cloth and find out that I have been deceiving my flock?  Someth

  This state of altered reality demands that people should dramatically and suddenly replace their/our perception of what is 'normal and reasonable behaviour', with the 'abnormal behaviour' which the war has given rise to.  That, as many ordinary people and health professionals know, cannot be accomplished without major traumas; pretty much reflecting the physical destruction being wrought on Ukraine and Russia. More so on Ukraine. So, what might my concluding thoughts on this war between Ukraine, primarily, and between Russia and Nato, secondarily be?  Namely this, that President Putin and Russia do have a valid case in their argument that Russia is being hemmed in by Nato countries.  And that NATO and Russia need to have effective security agreement to manage their security and co-exist.  That, as both Russia and Nato are opposing entities, their will always be some level of tension between the two. Probably with either of them trying to strengthen their respective po

  Even as the 'unreliability curse', struck down his compatriot's, Max Verstappen's car and took him out of the race.  Something which is not an easy thing for a race to process, especially when were so close to Podium.  To his credit, Max appeared to have dealt with the situation, publicly, much better than others might have done. The race certainly was not without its probably more than fair share of drama.   With Carlos Sainz and Sebastian Vettel crashing out, and Verstappen, who seemed almost certain to place his car at P.2, if not P.1, having to bail out and turn off his engine, as fire beckons to turn it into an inferno.  With two interludes of Safety Car and one Virtual Safety Car interrupting the otherwise smooth progress of the race.  As the Gods intervened to remove some of the advantages of the leading cars. Resulting in some racers being promoted in their track placement, while others are demoted. And now, as we look forward to seeing what the next Grand Pri

  A Big Thank You to the Formula 1 establishment for providing me with a very enjoyable Grand Prix on Sunday 10th April 2022, by way of the Australian 2022 Grand Prix.  Normally I would have been at home and waking up early in the morning, living on the other side of the world, as it were, to feast on several hours live Formula 1 car racing.  But it was not to be the usual on this occasion. I knew that I would be away from home and not be able to watch the race live, as it were.  So I opted to record it, with the intention of not watching any news about it and watching the recording as soon as I returned home on Sunday.  I had not counted on the regular exchange of Sunday morning texts between a friend and me.  So, imagine my chagrin or worry when, even before I made the return journey home, said friend text me to say how badly my "boys had done in the race."  My 'boys", of course, being the current Mercedes' racers, Hamilton and Russell.  I did not want to know
