We all have feelings, although it should be said that some of us feel more than others. Feelings are our response to something that comes into our consciousness. Feelings may include anger, sorrow, guilt, envy, well-being, happiness, satisfaction, and many others. They are usually immediate responses to something seen, heard, felt, or experienced. If theContinue reading “Common Sense vs. Feelings in Today’s Society”

Elections!!!!!!!
I am sitting at my computer some 8,000 miles from a very important election occurring right now, and I am unsure what to think. The critical question is, what drives an elector to vote the way they do? There are hundreds, if not thousands, of different reasons behind people’s electoral decisions, but when the currentContinue reading “Elections!!!!!!!”
Woke, Wokeness, Wokism?
The word “woke” and all its derivatives seem to be bandied around these days, and one has to ask what it really means. It is not a word that was commonly used only a few years ago. Does that just make it an “in” word, or does it describe something or someone that just didContinue reading “Woke, Wokeness, Wokism?”
“Inclusiveness” Is it fair, equal and democratic?
I think we can all agree that the root word for “inclusiveness” is “include”. Looking up the definition of this root word is not as simple as you would think. I have 4 large dictionaries, from three different countries, and none of them have the same definition. When the word “inclusiveness” is used, particularly whenContinue reading ““Inclusiveness” Is it fair, equal and democratic?”
Why people do what they do?
This question has been debated so many times that you may not want to read another opinion. That’s OK, I can take it. It is just that I want to look at this question from a very basic and simple angle. It is generally agreed by most that us human being are just another speciesContinue reading “Why people do what they do?”
Who are you?
Who or what makes us human beings? That is a question many ask, and there is no simple answer. It really is just a matter of our history, short and long term, if one uses the widest meaning of the word. Our history defines who we are, and while one cannot change history, one canContinue reading “Who are you?”
Thoughts – Head v Heart?
From my observations there are two distinct thought processes that flow through most peoples’ heads. On one hand, there are those that seem to first look at any situation through their “feeling” lens. On the other hand, there are those that put far more logic into their first thoughts. I am sure there are alsoContinue reading “Thoughts – Head v Heart?”
Men are just different!
Before I take this matter any further I should first state my involvement – I am an older man. Not that this, in itself, should greatly affect the quality of my comments, but it does get this particular question out of the way. Over recent years the question of “what is a man?”, and everythingContinue reading “Men are just different!”
The “2R’s” – Respect and Responsibility (pt2)
A few weeks ago I published a post on the “Respect” part of the above, and it is now time to cover the other side of the equation, “Responsibility”. There are two types of responsibility, making responsible decisions, and then taking responsibility for the resulting actions. While they are somewhat related, there are two separateContinue reading “The “2R’s” – Respect and Responsibility (pt2)”
Behavior – Home and School
As a volunteer at my local junior high school assisting in the classroom for over 10 years now, I have learnt a thing or two about young teenagers’ behavior at school. In many schools these days up to half of a teachers’ class time is take up trying to maintain a measure of correct classroomContinue reading “Behavior – Home and School”
