Here I am again. Yesterday morning I joined my retired colleagues for breakfast, with only six making it out. Our group can be larger than this, but it is becoming smaller al the same. However, we do like to say hello and enjoy reconnecting once a month. Next will be the Christmas breakfast with spouses; I went last year and may go again without a spouse - spouseless as I call that.

In the aft, a snoozed after lunch, read some in my newly acquired treasure and made supper.

On the way back I walked from downtown up, stopping by at ShelfLifeBooks to have an other look at Y.N. Harari’s “Sapiens” book, now in cloth and translated from Hebrew! This author has now a sequel book out titled “Homo Deus”, but it will have to wait.

In the aft, a snoozed after lunch, read some in my newly acquired treasure and made supper. I did not feel like buying a paper as the news is not in flux at the moment. I find that reading the newspaper takes away too much time and energy and is to passive an activity to do it daily. I should probably say that I over do the reading out of laziness at times.

My desktop computer is still disabled and if I don’t get some assistance - promised - from John, I’ll just get a taxi and take it to Memory Express. I’ve attempted to update my website using my Toshiba, but was not quite successful, but close. So, I’ll try again today.

Browsing and snap-reading in Harari’s book ‘Sapiens’ last night, gave me the impression that he does not value religion much, though he does claim that we need to understand our own human experience. In the last chapter he expresses the doubt that humans can handle their own inventions in beneficial ways.

He says we may not last more than a thousand years, which was an opinion voiced last week by S. Hawkins, the physicist. However, I will read the book through, because I also came across many valuable observations.

Treating human religious heritage as that much ‘misguidance’ is misguidance itself.

For myself, I now have come to the conviction that a thorough understanding of our human religious heritage and record in necessary to understand our own nature. Treating human religious heritage as that much ‘misguidance’ is misguidance itself. We must learn to understand its functionality and the contributions it made in our process of human development.
