Meaning.

 Who knows the true purpose of life?

Should we spend our lives seeking meaning, or is it enough to finish each day content?
Is life a ‘struggle’? Or is it a ‘fun ride’?
The rich never appear satisfied or whole; they always pursue more.
The poor struggle and savour the rare day of abundance, carefree and creating memories.
We hurry, we search, without direction or purpose. We chase ease and calm through material possessions and fleeting pleasures. We fill our homes and minds; thought turns into our adversary.
So we eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow reality and bills will arrive.
All the while, time looks on and smiles.
Only time knows when it is ‘up’, watching as everything unfolds.
Ultimately, only time will be your enemy.
‘Time will tell’, but never be told when to end.

The flag of hypocrisy.

  Why I don't 'do' flags anymore. Once again, we will be judged by our social media profile. Are we on the 'right' side? Do we have the flag of the oppressed posted so everyone can see how compassionate we are? At the moment, the Palestinian flag is the 'go-to flag' to cover the cracks of hypocrisy we here in the West are so keen to hide.  Don't get me wrong, Palestinians need our support. The only hope for future peace in the region is a two-state solution, and one day, let us hope both sides will agree on it and get around the table to accomplish it. Meanwhile, thousands are dying, and protest is needed. But let us remember there are not just two sides involved in this conflict. For example, I have noticed that a lot of people who vehemently oppose Israel seem very quiet when it comes to Iran - and their involvement with Hamas, and also their treatment of women within Iran. We 'progressives' like to think we are always on the right side, but ar...

  What The F**k is going on?  Is the world going crazy ? No, but the people are, at least the people in the ‘first-world countries’ (a highly debatable term).  It seems that problems arise when there is less and less trust in traditional politicians and political parties , it is then that we start electing politicians to office who claim to be against conventional politics and ‘the ruling elite’ (the fact that they are usually wealthy and have been sitting in the shadows of traditional politics for years doesn’t seem to deter us from voting for them).  So it seems we live in times when we have become increasingly childlike. Despite all our education and knowledge, we want the people in charge to ‘get on with it!’ without bothering us with their checks and balances and ‘painful facts’. “Do your job! “Solve MY immediate problems and get it done whatever way you think best. “This becomes the shortcut for ‘oligarchs’, ‘strongmen’, and ‘petty dictators’. Is it too much ...

Life is dangerous.

  Life’s dangerous. (Life is dangerous; it always ends in death.)   Today is Wednesday, the 17th of September 2025. Summer is definitely over, the skies are grey, and there’s a very faint drizzle falling. It’s one of those days when you wish you had spent an extra hour in bed.   I listen to the ‘news’ (or the ‘selected events’) on the radio, and the day gets worse. Israel is still going ahead with the genocide of the Palestinian population in Gaza while the majority of the rest of the world just looks on. (I’m trying to convince myself that the idea that there is a worldwide ‘Jewish Lobby’ is absurd).   Putin (Russia's little Napoleon)   continues with his war of attrition in Ukraine. Donald Trump, America's most well-known sex offender, is still in office, plotting some sort of civil war in the United States. The world is getting scarier each day.   By the way, did I mention that AI is gradually taking over from us humans on lots of levels, and our ideas a...
