It's Not All Relative
"Suppose you see a bird walking around in a farm yard. This bird has no label that says 'duck'. But the bird certainly looks like a duck. Also, he goes to the pond and you notice that he swims like a duck. Then he opens his beak and quacks like a duck. Well, by this time you have probably reached the conclusion that the bird is a duck, whether he's wearing a label or not." - R.C. Paterson Jr.
Most of the self-delusional, wool over the eyes, nonsense that passes as common sense, truth, reality, necessity and the lesser of two evils exists because of pride, narcissism, cowardice and a ready audience content with all that makes for the promise of personal contentment or at the very least a reduction of undesirable artifacts manifesting in various forms on our psyche.
I am not kidding myself into thinking I have not participated as a perpetrator or willing recipient of the multitude of B.S. we accept as living however I would be a bigger fool not to examine myself and life around me, to remain silent and neglect some form of attempt to make a difference, maybe even affect change, at least at a personal level, that may perhaps even cause some positive change around me. Even if that is conflict, so long as it a part of a greater understaning of the choices and realities we make and support.
Part of this site will be an open concept to get the thoughts out of my head and on to a page kinda thing within a blog format. Some of it may be within a song or video. Some will allow responses from whoever would happen on this site and chose to respond, some will not. I may answer emails, I may not. I might allow comments, or not. I might delete what you say, or might not. If I do leave your comments up I will do so without editing except perhaps for offense language.
You'll soon find out that I have, some time ago, "got religion". I hesitate to call myself a "Christian" for all the negative connotations and all that filters our thinking once someone declares their faith in God through belief in a sinless, died on the cross, rose from the dead, Son of God, namely Jesus of Nazareth and declares God's indwelling Spirit to be alive in him, but with my cards on the table from the onset we have a better chance of not claiming an attempt to forward any hidden agenda.
So... "Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends. We're so glad you could attend
Come inside! Come inside!" - ELP
