apology
I apologize to you, my readers, for having used terminology in the past: “Judeo-Christian”. In fact, I’ve been corrected in my understanding of misnomer – that what I should correctly otherwise state, is “Hebrew-Christian”. Allow me to simply use “Christian” … Continue reading →
Why love is so important
Love shapes all of our lives. Lack of it always leaves its mark etched on our hearts. Speaking for myself, seeking it out has always been of primary importance; without it, one withers like a dead weed as we bleed … Continue reading →
Why does proportion matter?
If you steal a pencil or pen from work, you may be a thief, but you certainly are much less of one compared to the colleague who steals a ream of paper every month. That is why judgment requires discerning. … Continue reading →

What a fun show to tune in to see. Good awards show. An Austrian wins! Great films were nominated and won. It was a relaxed and fun presentation. There was the opportunity to see faces not seen for a while. … Continue reading →
Dennis Rodman
Dennis has courageously defied what I thought were travel bans to North Korea. But, I do see a double standard, as some US women in the recent past, risked life by going there. It takes somebody with his and their … Continue reading →
Hollywood

American patients want healthcare laws that benefit their health. This service has been promised by the two major US political parties over the course of many years. We are tired of it. It’s been a campaign slogan and an exploit … Continue reading →
