Wokism, and its mega need for Acceptance
Oh my. The Woke culture is everywhere, screaming, beating its chest, jumping up and down, overheated frustration and anger. It is pitiful to see them coming unwound. The Woke anti-culture's cynicism has stolen all the wonderful beautiful things from life, and turned them into an ideological cesspool. This virus really does need to "be disappeared"… Continue reading Wokism, and its mega need for Acceptance
“Living in the moment” a purposeful misunderstanding.
I remember when I was young, the concept of “living in the moment and for the moment”, was like a battle-cry for doing whatever you wanted, whenever you wanted, and not caring about the outcome or what others thought. It was considered a release from the norms of the 50’s. That concept continued to grow,… Continue reading “Living in the moment” a purposeful misunderstanding.

Ethics as a fundamental basis for Society
Having a set of ethics, or rules to live by is foundational for society. Without a set of ethical rules, there can be no trustable standard for people to depend on for building a life. If we don't know if someone will simply walk by and take everything we own, there is no reason to… Continue reading Ethics as a fundamental basis for Society
Purity one the one hand, Depravity on the other
We pick one, and go with it....... that's what we do... step by step..... that is what free will means.... choices. We are born pure. We must clean up all the life messes we make after that. Our mess... our responsibility. The rogue ruminating mind takes us step by step into darkness. Our inner guide… Continue reading Purity one the one hand, Depravity on the other
