What to say or write rather after another absence? I know I do not owe an explanation to anyone, not even myself, but I do wonder what it is that keeps me from writing my regular entries. I have replaced it with reading the Globe and Mail which also takes me for a little walk and some fresh air as I go and get one.
I still remember switching from my customary pencil and paper recordings to these computer based entries.
It could be that I have become bored with making my entries having started back in May 2009! But, I do want to reach May 2019, just to reach my second lustrum in making such entries. I still remember switching from my customary pencil and paper recordings to these computer based entries. Now I have over nine years of those, be it with other stretches without making any entries, such as summer breaks. That break I did not choose myself this year and maybe it kind of became bestowed on me!
Consciousness drifts when we don’t heed the course setting of our ethical compass …
Last Sunday was the 100th Remembrance day of the end to World War 1. Reading about it again and now more so than other years, it has become a warning to me that we humans can go way off track with our convictions, believes and values even. Consciousness drifts when we don’t heed the course setting of our ethical compass and crawl into the shell of self justification and self affirming ideologies.
The onset and motivations for the Second World War were entirely different, but were rooted in those of WW-1 all the same. Humanity can do terrible things to itself and we must never loose sight of such possibilities when making our unavoidable choices, as evil often lurks behind the choice ‘good’.
