  It is the nature of our human psyche that we can do each other terrible harm by either verbally affronting them/us, and/or physically attacking members of our species.  Yes, we can also do terrible harm to ourselves by attacking, verbally and/or physically, our loved ones. Of course, being the oftentimes or normally rational beings that we, or most of us humans are, we do not normally automatically mete out retribution to others who offend or even physically attack us.  No, where we have some the opportunity to acquire some time to contemplate our response or reaction, we indulge in consideration of the probable reasons why the perpetrator of the offence had done what he/she has done to us or other victims.  Yes, we consider the probable motive/s; whether they intended the harm we perceive them to have done to us.  The principles of 'motive' and 'intent' are crucial in jurisprudence. We can see the first as helping us to evaluate and understand whether the wrong we pe

  Again, Kazaliwa applied himself to his new tenancy with much determination, pride and commitment to making it his home.  Like his previous tenancy, this one was comprised of a room and a shared kitchen and shower and toilet. It also had the added luxury of having a washbasin in the bedroom.  Kaziliwa was fated to remain in this tenancy for probably 2 or so years. He was to take an added pride in establishing a good standard of management of his new home, having had a vision of how he wanted it to look.  It was transpire, as time went by, that the challenges of him maintaining his new home as he had started, would again defeat him somewhat.  Not least because of the difficulty in getting all the tenants in multi-occupied houses to exercise their collective responsibilities for maintaining proper standards of tidiness and cleanliness in the communal areas.  Such as keeping the corridors, shared kitchen, bathroom and toilet clean and reasonably tidy.  Even with Kazaliwa's best endea

  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
