Reflections.....

A nation or civilization 

that continues to produce 

soft-minded men 

purchases 

its own spiritual death 

on the installment plan.

--Martin Luther King, Jr.                    

  *        *        *        *       *

The first requisite of 

civilization is that of justice.

--Sigmund Freud.

Parasites and Patriots.

It is in the very Deceptive nature of Parasite

That masquerades as a Patriot.

Singing the Dead.....

A Dead Wo /Man needs 

No laurels

More then when Alive.

        *       *      *     *       *

What difference does it make 

To the dead.....

The orphans and the homeless

Whether the mad destruction is 

Wrought under........ 

The name of totalitarianism Or

The holy name of 

liberty and democracy?"

-- Mahatma Mohandas K. Gandhi.

Reflections..........

Patriotism is the Virtue of 

The Vicious.

               *           *            *

Selfishness is not living as 

One wishes to live

It is asking Others to Live as 

One wishes to Live.

              *            *            *

Seriousness is...... 

the only refuge of shallow.

               *           *           *

The aim of life is........ 

Self-development

To realize ones nature perfectly

That is what each of us is here for.

--- Oscar wilde.

The Nature of Problamatic.......

One should address every issue

That presents itself as "Problematic"

With equal and objective concern

Otherwise one would end up with

A flawed Understanding of .....

The times one lives in.

Past Obessions.....

We should not try and create 

The past in Future

Which would be 

Our undoing in History

We have to Leave behind 

Both Good and Bad of the past

As in the understanding of 

What it has been and

Create our present and 

Work towards.....

A future that equitable 

With freedom and compassion

For each other.

       *        *        *        *        *

                  PSALM  1

Blessed are the man and women

Who have grown beyond 

Their Greed and have put an 

End to their hatred and

No longer nourish Illusions.

But they delight in the ways things are and

Keep their hearts open day and night.

They are like Trees planted 

near flowing rivers

Which bear fruit when they are ready

Their leaves will not Fall or Wither

Everything they do will Succeed.

---- Stephen Mitchell.

Orwell on Journalism,,,,,,,,,,

Journalism is printing what someone else 

does not want printed: 

Everything else is public relations.
