Jigsaw Falling Into Place

This is only my 100th post since i started this weblog in 2007. That's an average of 20 posts a year, or less than two post a month. Either i don't have much to say or i am not very good at putting thoughts into words.

I had pondered long on what to write for this particular post. Finally, it hits me. Why not write about the situation that humanity is facing today. Yes, that will be a good topic to write about.

So, here goes:

With Me You Will Stay

You come from far away
With pictures in your eyes
Of coffeeshops and morning streets
In the blue and silent sunrise
But night is the cathedral
Where we recognized the sign
We strangers know each other now
As part of the whole design

A Revisionist View of History

There is no change for the better until people can see what is wrong with the world. Until people can see that this is not "normal". As long as they think this is how things should be, they will remain. Things are as it is now because we let them be for the longest time. And they will remain, and be repeated in cycles, as time washes away the fickle memories of the ignorant and apathetic.

The World As I See It

One of his most beloved essay. A simple, elegantly written piece on the value of being human.

"How strange is the lot of us mortals! Each of us is here for a brief sojourn; for what purpose he knows not, though he sometimes thinks he senses it. But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people - first of all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness is wholly dependent, and then for the many, unknown to us, to whose destinies we are bound by the ties of sympathy. A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving..."

Ghosts, Hauntings, Water and a Possible Scientific Explanation

As we have already noted, if the infrastructure of our civilization were to be destroyed, then if a person a hundred years later tried to explain the theory of radio and television, people would find it impossible to comprehend. It would sound like magic.

Making Numbers Sound Important and Grand

"We also have a way to vastly increase US household income - the feds have only to spend more money! Just add zeros. How about that? The poor family has not a dime more in real, spendable income…but we’ve managed - by clever use of mathematics and economics - to double its income. But that illustrates the nature of modern economics. It is all numbers…and none of them mean anything. And none means less than the zero.

A Journey of Discovery

Ah, the end of the year 2012 is fast coming upon us.

What will happen to all of us? Is the world coming to an end? 

Read the full article for some answers to what is really happening. It may not be what you would like to happen or what you would think will happen. But we are not here to engage in wishful thinking, are we? Truth is what we are really after.
