Observations on the world and its inhabitants
For the last two years or so I’ve been thinking more and more about publishing stuff. I must say that I have been hesitant. All of my writings have not been inspired by the ‘love (or want) of money’. In fact as I get older I grow to resent the effect money has on minds. ...
“If a man loses pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured, or far away.“ – Henry David Thoreau
“I did not know what to do!!! I asked you for help. You did not help me. You are selfish and unhelpful!” – by Captain Walker
So enlightening is this video. I was in awe, listening to Mintzberg.
“I wish to remain a pawn – a mere cog – a mechanism in a massive machinery, shaped and predestined by my ‘owners’, who allow me a small amount of freedom and pleasure to cherish, who serve me chemicals designed to numb my pain…so I can work harder and die younger. I worship my masters ...
So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service ...
Yesterday I wrote about ‘Assessing Accountability’. That made me think more about the concept. I included words related to ‘trust’, ‘honesty’ etc. As I’m writing this I’m having vague recollections of persons in my past asserting that they ‘trust [such and such person] implicitly!!’, whilst waving hands around to get the point across. In public ...
The cradle rocks above an abyss, and our common sense tells us that our existence is but a brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness. Although the two are identical twins, man, as a rule views the prenatal abyss with more calm than the one he is heading for (at some forty-five hundred ...
I’ve been reflecting on human behaviour for quite some time – 22 years to be precise. In recent months I’ve really been troubled by what I refer to as ‘mind games’. Yes I know Eric Berne has written a book, The Games People Play. I probably read the book over 20 years ago and have ...
“..If you just sit and observe you would see how restless your mind is. If you try to calm it, it only just makes it worse. But in time it does calm. And when it does there is room to hear more subtle things. That’s when your intuition starts to blossom and you see things ...
Peace at 23,000 feet: And at ground zero:
Yeah..we know this very well don’t we, that ‘money isn’t every thing’? The phrase sickens me. Why pray tell, you must be thinking. Let me try a few substitutions for the word ‘money’ in there: ‘Air’ isn’t everything ‘Sex’ isn’t everything ‘Banana’ isn’t everything ‘Food’ isn’t everything ‘A house’ isn’t everything. Well yes, I hope ...
It was 00:30 2008-09-13 – when I decided to start writing this. Crazy? So what. I’ve been thinking about what changes people’s minds about things.
