Babies do it easily.  Children too. Set you senses: sight, taste, touch, sound and smell on what you want.  Remind yourself by posting notes, playing music, choosing appealing foods and smells to motivate you to ___________________ fill in the blank that is your life. We are insan(a) and subject to forgetting if we do not […]

Life is “sense organs meeting sense objects” I once learned while studying Ayurveda. What therefore makes life meaningful?  Is it legacy?  Is it leaving behind a trust, life insurance policies, a building with your name on it, an endowment or several foundations carrying out your dreams and instructions?  Perhaps. Perhaps the larger context is Ethiopia:

People drive their cars as if that were their skin. A city of concrete and asphalt does lend itself to a dermis of plastic and metal.  Humans drive along reverberating and resonating with the powerful steel engine, the aerodynamic shape and the resilient rubber of their cars while gaining weight, smoking, even destroying their brains. 

The idea is that you live in one universe and there is a parallel universe that operates alongside.  Just imagine that we understood the seventy-two percent of this universe (a.k.a. dark energy) instead of the mere four that we see visually. The goal of the show is to discover your purpose in life; why you exist.

Losers don’t fly their flags at statehouses and on the backs of their pickup trucks in broad daylight for one hundred and fifty-seven or even fifty-seven years. Losers don’t enjoy a free meal at Burger King after killing “nice” Christians who unknowingly welcomed the murderous coward in fellowship to their church for a prayer service.

If Jeffrey Epstein’s victims were melanated teenagers, would he still be a criminal; a martyred predator at that? The supposed moral and legal preponderance would be a resounding “b’tov course.”  The truth would be found in the historical evidence: Item A:  Tawana Brawley, a 15-year old African American, accuses four blue Caucasian officials of a

“That symbol [the confederate flag] which is super sensitive…is just a symbol…it doesn’t always have to be a white supremacist symbol,” said someone. No harm, no foul. The swastika, also super sensitive, is equally “just a symbol” with a twelve-thousand year history.  Applying someone’s logic, does Azov and Hitler’s invoking the “well-being” of the albus

The world tuned in to the 94th Annual Oscars to watch Will Smith win best actor for his role as Richard Williams in the movie “King Richard.” Before the win and after the slap heard round the world, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, heretofore referred to as ” the Academy” with its
