confused
I was listening to a podcast and the guest made the note we teach 4 year olds at school that they are not supposed to hit each other and then, 15 years onwards, we hand them a gun… This statement is so achingly accurate and so shatteringly confusing that I know you can’t help me…

Baby happiness
You know most babies are calm and happy. Maybe not all the time but if fed, dry and hugged they are carefree. They are smiley and cute and just curious about the world around them without making a big fuss. They slide into the world, claiming their piece and spreading joy. They are contaminating. Doors…

Once upon a time…
There was a group of people planning evil for the world. They were based off a black backyard, busy building rockets. To keep attention away, they found a blonde clown, put him in a white house and kept everyone busy and entertained. Please help me make sense of this one too…. If you can….

Gentry escapism
I had to go to a very old part of my city, which would normally be considered dodgy. I went there under that assumption: it would be dirty, dodgy, unsettling to walk around and miserable. It was nothing but. New flat developments have been erected and artisanal this and artisanal that were everywhere. At first,…

Winning?
By profession but also as part of life I negotiate a lot. I almost never accept the first offer and push other people to do same when asked for advice or support. Have gone through some training, have practiced a lot but still have not cracked it all. I could never teach negotiations for instance…

Bomb of happiness
This blog, is arguably about the things that make no sense in life, or, at least, in the human experience as shaped in the modern western world. Happiness, being, arguably, what we are all after I guess, does not make sense. All the human intellect combined cannot craft a method to achieve happiness. It can…
