    A distracted populace

    When popular opinion prevails over the wisdom of the ages, fear greatly for the next generation. We live in times when good appears as evil, and evil appears as good. When standing up for something on a basis of principle is dismissed as idealism, and the path of least resistance is seen as the only…

  • Patiently persevere

    Life has never been simple, and only threatens to become more complicated with each day that passes. Sometimes I flirt with the idea that perhaps I was destined to struggle with so much so that I can learn the lessons that need to be learnt to share them with others. But my gut says that…

    Fleeting Thoughts X

    If I were to write without restraint, would you see my soul or judge my sanity? Sanity is elusive when it competes with the heart. The heart is not satiated by the intellect, and the intellect cannot reason with the heart. They both swim in their own orbits. Like the sun and the moon, each…
