The new page of my blogging life is for my comfort and conscience. It should not be a surprise that people find strength in their polarity. Diversity and divergence are essential for what this blogger calls fun, but what is popular political and religious fun is an unambiguous wild rampage by people whose stage should be exclusively their shower and breakfast table. Many people are not accustomed to learning by asking questions. I have not wanted to answer questions, and many people are loath to ask certain questions.  That is why my destination is that patch of green grass where I bend low to talk to the minors and those ready to depart.

No more Mr Niceguy

I have steered clear of using my blog as a conversation portal. You may have noticed that the major purveyors of news and information quickly close the comment section after publishing their items or articles, for the simple reason that a flood of unhinged and uninformed comments will be posted, and will include the most despicable sentiments. In the current situation of public interaction we have powers that we attempting to muzzle the expression of people’s opinions, and use both the courts and extrajudicial means to obscure heterodox opinion. I have decided to toe one line, with no interest in giving an inch to the competing dogmas and cultural heritages.

To word 500

Pretty or disheveled, whatever your political or religious bent, you matter, and it is great that bloggers and readers are not necessarily acquaintances, because seeing what you look like, hearing your thoughts, may pressure us to contend, compare and compete.  It is remarkable to me that there is a thing between us that is so valuable to me that I am certain that change in any direction will be felt in diverse ways. Thanks for following my blog and for subscribing and let’s raise a glass to the next and necessary elevations on our journey.

Where I am going

People can be convinced of almost anything, given the right amount of time and the appropriate circumstances. In my field we are able to amass a massive amount of information, and a variety of sources to make a point.  Unlike a lot of colleagues across all the religions I let what I read speak to me with finality. Where my thoughts and attitudes settle is not subject to anyone’s opinion. Typically though, after hearing three or four opinions, most people end up just shrugging off any final answer or conclusion. That is a waste of energy and a sign of chameleonitis. If you land on a place where no one else agrees with you, everyone who knows you should respect that place. So I want to let “yes”  and “no”, my “yes yes” and my “no no” be the hallmark of my Life is Fun Blog, because as much as I want noone trampling on my pearls I will not trample on yours, seeing that I do not know them. Turn!
