  So, what have I learned from observing life? Well, beginning with when I was a young child, what I have observed was that, for a child, the world is and/or can be a very frightening and fearful place.  Both in mind and on the physical level. Thus was the world full of duppies, rolling calves, spirits, demons. monsters of all kinds, depending on where in the world you happen to be born and grown up.  And then, as if that is not bad enough, according to the religion you are born prisoner to, you also have to ponder Hell and hell-fire or everlasting boredom and torture in Heaven, when you depart the world. I have learnt that, as a child, demons, monsters and frightening entities do really exist, and they do in every society and culture.  It does not matter that, when considered rationally, these frightening creatures are or might be mostly mental constructs which have been past on from generation to generation.  For young children living in external environments, in cultures which reinf

  So, after the Miami and Monaco grand prix, we, the fans and audiences of Formula 1 were blessed to have the opportunity to enjoy and exciting and classic grand prix at iconic Baku Circuit in Azerbaijan on Sunday 12th June 2022. Yes, once again, it was no surprise that that the two leading teams and their esteemed racers had again dominated Qualifying and the race.  Until, that was, Ferrari suffered another of their too frequent car unreliability problem which saw both of the cars failing to make it to the end of the race, being the ones to follow.  With Team Red Bull and their racers, Verstappen and Peres coming in at P.1 and P.2, and Team Mercede's Russell completing the Podium.   While Hamilton came in with a hard won and much deserved P.4. As well as, for the second consecutive grand prix, being voted 'Driver of the Race.' Having to contend with the body torturing car setup of their cars, and the still significant race pace disadvantage with Red Bull and Ferrari.  Russ

So, what should I say about the Monaco Grand Prix of the 2022 Formula 1 Season?  Well, of course I could say a lot, even if much of what I would say, if honestly said, would be in the realm of a very boring and tedious grand prix.  Yes, having endured the Miami Grand Prix with its  rather dated and in your face Americanaesque atmosphere, well might Formula 1 fans have been looking forward to enjoying a real classic race at the Monaco Grand Prix.  That, at least, might have been the hope, the understandable expectation.  Because, although the MGP has the characteristic of being able to devolve into a very gruelling and tedious race.  It is also a circuit which is able to and has delivered exciting races. Unfortunately, however, this year's Monaco Grand Prix delivered nothing of the kind.  It was a most boring race which saw the racing cars going round and round, following the car in front and rarely having the opportunity to do any overtaking.  A situation which, along with the conf

  It is probably often the case that we do not directly acknowledge and give praises to people enough when they are alive and are able to benefit from our positive feelings towards them. Such were and are still my thoughts this morning, when my esteemed partner entered the room and calmly instructed me to 'put your feet here.' Gesturing towards her thigh, as she sat down on the chair opposite me.  Uh, I thought, with the appropriately puzzled look on my face. I did not have to be in anyway apprehensive or worried, as she set about 'anointing' my very dry and unhealthy looking feet with the Nivea Cream.  It transpired that my beloved had seen how terrible my feet were looking, When she first entered the room.  So, when she left and then came back, equipped to 'do something about them.' It was not the first time she had 'anointed my feet', but her act of compassion again reminded me of her love for me, and of why I love her as much as I do.  So, as I sing

  So, how do we humans live best, most abundantly? Is it by living a one dimensional life, or striving, endeavouring to live multi-dimensional lives? It seems to me that a person lives best by endeavouring to live multi-dimensional lives.  To vary what we do, how and when we do it. To become a good generalist, instead of toiling to become an acclaimed specialist, which is not to say one should never seek to become a specialist.  Although we should be mindful of the likely fate of, say another species of animal that evolves being dependent on only one kind of food, should that habitat becomes extinct. As I sit her doing this post, and listening to the soothing, calm and reflection inducing music of Classical musicians such as Chopin, Mozart, Beethoven, Strauss, Bach, et al.  I find that I am asking myself, 'supposed I had not had the pleasure of hearing the beautiful and powerful music of these musicians? Would I not have been musically-impoverished?  Supposed my diet of music had b

  .. to live with myself, if I were to find, or admit that have misled 'the flock'?     Then they should review and change what they have been asserting. As this would be the responsible and honest thing to do. So, when the people of the cloth, having the evidence,  the knowledge and/or information, that their acclaimed religious 'truths', doctrines or dogmas which they and their ancestors have been selling, preaching to the masses for hundreds of years.  Is eclectic fictitious myths which have been carefully and conspiratorially accumulated and processed. But still continue to proclaim that it is authentic and sacred truths, what motive can they have for doing so? What motive can these clergies have for continue to act in a manner which not only perpetuate the clerical injustice of their predecessors in persecuting, torturing and killing innocent men and women in the past, who were more enlightened than they were? It certainly cannot be said that these men and women of

  Something which was much in evidence in Barcelona, as we saw the high anxiety of Verstappen, when he was repeatedly confronted with his car's DRS problem.  While Leclerc, for atleast the second time in the season, failed to deliver the win he had been expected to achieve. I seen reports citing Fernando Alonso saying that 'it is about the car and not the driver, or, rather, I think he is arguing, the 'special skills of the racer.' Well, it is very likely that when you have cars of similar performance and racers of similar or equal racing skills and competence.  The comparative success of each of them can be attributed to factors such as luck/bad luck, racing strategy, consistency/inconsistency of performance, and racing acumen. So, now that Hamilton's car has been brought upto this level of performance, we should be seeing Hamilton deploying his considerable his racing acumen to begin winning races again.  And who knows; probably 'hammering' his way up the
