Compromising the self leaves you not knowing who you are, never feeling right, and always being asked more of. Some thoughts about why you shouldn’t do that.

The Equality of War and Insults
They are for the weak This image doesn’t even begin to demonstrate the longevity of the problem. Humans wage war and humans insult. We’re in the 21st Century and social media has clearly demonstrated that as a race we have barely advanced. Technological complications Yes we laud our technology, the fancy stuff we can build,ContinueContinue reading “The Equality of War and Insults”
I believed
In being a person I could be proud of:kind, compassionate, thoughtful, there.I wanted to be this personbecause I’d only ever met one such individual;he was always there.A good role model.I thought that decency, kindness and compassionwould attract people who felt the same way.Instead, everything I had to offer was drained,and still I wasn’t good enough.IContinueContinue reading “I believed”
Balance
Nature is about harmony and balance. Left to itself nature would thrive, natural predators would ensure balance, the air would be cleaner, the waters purer and with less plastic. The planet would be cooler. We are not. Imbalance We are not only bad for the planet, we are bad for each other, and appalling forContinueContinue reading “Balance”
Never Mind
When I realised as a child That I was always going to be wrong I didn’t think ‘never mind’ I just felt hurt When I wasn’t allowed to go to university And those hopes and dreams were stopped I didn’t think it then either I just felt lost Through decades of hurts That never neededContinueContinue reading “Never Mind”

Over the centuries we have divided ourselves by race, religion, colour, creed, and now gender. These divisions are so many centuries oldContinueContinue reading “On Society: The Other-hood of Man”

I Am So Proud
I’m also very upset! Yesterday the UK was braced for about 30 marches by the racist people who have behaved appallingly. Instead we had a large number of much bigger marches, thousands of people turned out to call for peace, respect, and inclusion. This is Britain! I’m very upset because I’m obviously not connected toContinueContinue reading “I Am So Proud”
D-Day 2024
Love and respect for all At a time when the world is watching to see what happens next. How does the current world situation make any sense? We have the lessons of history. There is a massive war. Someone wins. Twenty years later we’re all trading together again as if nothing happened. Why can’t weContinueContinue reading “D-Day 2024”
World Patriot
This world seems so big to us, but in galactic terms it’s tiny. When you see images of it floating in space you realise how at one we are. One tiny planet that is minuscule even in terms of our own universe, a pinprick in space. Invisible from a few short light years away. WeContinueContinue reading “World Patriot”
