Doing The Right Thing

The death of  Ahmaud Arbery  is a testament of the evil in individuals. The evil that is celebrated in some communities as self defence. Defence against something undeserving, something, different indeed something that should be relegated to the back of beyond.  The religious community around the world addresses such events with a call to prayer and teach them while young, teach children values and morals, right and wrong. Yet these men who killed another are moral men in the eyes of their community, they are protectors of right and wrong as defined by them. Their bias and xenophobic world view is a communal attitude, making it dangerous to be different.  In the death of Ahmaud Arbery two world collide. In his death philosophies battle. Some view racism as the actions done only by whites, while other declare that racism is common to all-races hence to them all racism is equal, while others like Adam Hochman a lecturer at Macquarie University states that there ...

The source of our action

The source of our action   The greatest gift any person may give another is themselves. To give off oneself requires sacrifice, it's more than the action of determination, it's more than the connivence of the moment it's the act of love that denies instant gratification for eternal significance through the joy of another.   Some parents are seen expressing that love to their own, some children reciprocate with a love of commitment and passion. Yet for many the love of self becomes an idol they refuse to compromise outside their “own," many claim to be givers yet will with ease abuse a stranger, some will claim forgiveness for their own and hate to any “other”.   Is it truly possible to be that split, to have such destructive and restorative power working in one and the same. I will say that for a while it may appear so. But inconsistency is consistent. In the end a cruel employer will be cruel in indirect ways to even their closest loves, this may be expre...

Waking up to a new reality

Waking up to a new reality This is a start of a new season in my life. I am doing the things I love and wanted to do for a very long time. Yet the truth is, I am doing them with the least access to resources than ever before. My messages to the world will be about the reflections, insights and questions that arise in my life that I desire to share. Sometimes we want something so much that it consumes our daily lives and energy through our effort. We keep fighting only to reach the point when we become aware that no matter how well connected we are, no matter how much we want it, no matter how much we hit against the wall. It's only when all things are in place beyond our ability that things flow without great input from ourselves. As a Christian i believe that this moment is also the realisation that beyond existence there is eternity and beyond that there is God who is all powerful. Corona Covid 19 has been pivotal in changing the lives of many peoples. In some ways we feel ...
