Tough stuff and way too simplistic, but also true. There are obviously people with very real reasons to feel hatred, and although it’s awful those of us who don’t have those reasons must not judge. The sad thing is when the hatred began centuries ago and it’s been passed down the generations until it doesContinueContinue reading “Peace”

About Trump’s War
What is one question you hate to be asked? Explain. When you believe that it’s possible for the world to live in peace you are often laughed at, eyes are rolled, naive is mentioned, and people explain patiently why you don’t understand reality. No I don’t understand their reality. Nor do I want to. It’sContinueContinue reading “About Trump’s War”
Overcoming my Upbringing
How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success? That’s it really. Becoming a nicer person by choice. Although I will admit the current world situation is challenging my hold on decency and non-violence. Can anyone please explain to me why people think killing is okay? Especially when the Bible isContinueContinue reading “Overcoming my Upbringing”

A Grandaughter’s War
In around 1999 I wrote a poem called “A Woman’s War”, which is in the poetry section of this blog. Never did I think I would write a follow up, yet today that poem arrived, it’s below, and writing it actually hurt. Trying to get my head around the fact that we could be inContinueContinue reading “A Grandaughter’s War”
My Fellow Writers
What are three objects you couldn’t live without? That’s not three objects, and it’s way more than three writers. I hope. As you may have noticed, my blogs since the war broke out probably need their own category called ‘outrage and disbelief’. If you haven’t read “I believe in choices” because I posted it veryContinueContinue reading “My Fellow Writers”
Woke and Sensible
So, there’s a possibility that we are facing WWIII. I’m not going into dramatic language about that, it’s bad enough without adding to it. Are we so sure now that the Woke, who preach peace, respect, and inclusion, are the idiots in this world? Some will say yes because we’re unrealistic, stupid enough to thinkContinueContinue reading “Woke and Sensible”
The Sad Ones
What experiences in life helped you grow the most? And it’s no way to grow! No one should grow through fighting for your sanity every day. No one should seek to survive a relationship. No one should dread their job or their boss. Everyone should be told one thing and it should be on theContinueContinue reading “The Sad Ones”
