About Philosophy and Reasoning
Philosophy and Reasoning have been high on my list for further study for a couple of years now. Before that it lingered in the back of my mind, but rarely came to the surface. I think these two items are near the top of my list now because of several factors. Continue reading About Philosophy and Reasoning

Not Everyone Is Smart
The words above have been my mantra of life for decades. Everyday I think about those three things, and make sure I am living up to them. I have lived with those words so long that I sometimes kinda naively think that most others do too. But, sometimes I get a figurative punch in the face to tell me otherwise. With this post I will try to explain that. Continue reading Not Everyone Is Smart

Will It Ever Be?
Will wrote the words above about one-hundred years ago, and it couldn’t be more true than it is today. Will humanity ever be ready for truth or harmony? Continue reading Will It Ever Be?
Memorial Day Remembrance
For most people, Memorial Day is primarily a time to celebrate the unofficial beginning of summer. But for me, it is a time to mourn for those who have died in our needless wars of my lifetime, particularly the 58,220 young men from my generation who were killed in Vietnam Continue reading Memorial Day Remembrance
I Have No Desire…

On The Present Moment
My anxiety level has just been too high lately, and I am trying to do something about it. In my studies of religions I have not put much effort into Buddhism but I know it started somewhere around 600 years before its Muslim and Christian counterparts. When I came across the quote above I realized it might help in this area. Continue reading On The Present Moment
