(11,24,2024) Optimism is a tendency to look on the more favourable side of events and/or the belief that good will ultimately triumph over evil. As for the situation, in the United States, we will have to hold that optimism for another four years. As the age old adage states, “We have lost the battle, but…

For over twenty years, I worked for the Nuclear Medicine and Nuclear Energy Industry of Canada, in Research and Development, creating new drawings and programs, as well as refurbishing old parts and manufacturing new ones. For the last sixteen of those years, I was the chief Nuclear Inspector, overseeing every aspect of the production and testing of all such parts. Then, I was forced into retirement by a debilitating neuro-muscular disorder which weakens me with every exertion of energy. No longer able to perform simple physical tasks, I reverted to my first passion, writing, to keep my mind from stagnating and to fulfill my creative impulse. On New Year's Eve, I mentioned to my daughter that I had conceived of a notion to write a blog about global issues such as politics, religion, the climate, etc. and she asked me why I would choose topics that are so controversial. At the time, I said that my reason was because of the controversy these topics cause. Not that I want to bring about more angst, but, these issues must be addressed and not ignored. We each have a voice and a say in what affects our world. Two days later, with the world on the brink of a third world war, a Nuclear war, I said to my daughter, " This is what I'm talking about!"
VICTORIOUS
(10,24,2024) Victorious, according to Random House Webster’s Dictionary, means to be successful or triumphant over one’s enemy. As I mentioned in my previous blog, I began writing these blogs with the intent of bringing a good word, or hopeful news, to my readers. In a revelation, by Jesus Christ, to the apostle John, Christ warned…
EXULTATION
(09,24,2024) Exultation is another form of extreme joy. As I had mentioned, in my previous blog, there is much reason for such, recently, in the American Democratic Party, which have received much cause for hope. It is this hope which brings me to repeat something from one of my earlier blogs. And it reads much…
JUBILATION
(08,24,2024) Jubilation is a feeling of joy. Some also call it a celebration. Both of the above were emanating from the DNC (Democratic National Convention) during the past week. The excitement, that has revived the Democratic Party, is unparalleled to any such event in America’s history. People of every race, colour and creed are revitalized….
RATIONAL
(07,24,24) Rational means to exercise reason, or, be agreeable to. It also refers to being sane or lucid. At any rate, one does not see much of that going on around the American Capitol, these days, when it comes to dealing with the next election of their president. In fact, the exact opposite applies to…
COVENANT
(06,24,2024) Covenant is a formal agreement such as the conditional promises which God had made to humanity. God had formulated a covenant with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Paradise. But, Adam had made the choice for humanity to govern themselves. From then on, things did not go well for mankind! Soon, God had…
PARADISE
(05,24,2024) Paradise is defined, in the Random House Webster’s Dictionary, as a place or state of supreme happiness! Therefore, while many interpret Paradise as a literal location, it can also be referred to as a state of mind. Now, most people have heard of the Garden of Eden. Its actual location is disclosed in the…
SHAMBHALA
(04,24,2024) Shambhala (Shambala/Shamballa) is a Sanskrit word meaning “place of peace” or “place of silence”. It is a mythical paradise spoken of in ancient texts, and in ancient scriptures, that predate Tibetan Buddhism! It is a place for those of us who have achieved enlightenment. There, the pure of heart are immune to suffering and…
PLACATION
(03,24,2024) Placation is the act of appeasing or pacification; in other words, to restore to a state of tranquility or peace. So, how does one go about restoring peace and tranquility in a world so full of turmoil and hate? Well…, to begin with, one might try just approaching a single person, preferably someone who…
INIMICAL
(02,24,2024) Inimical describes one who is adverse in effect or tendency. In fact, they can be downright hostile and unfriendly. This accurately portrays the American Republicans in Congress, the party of the P.O.T.A.S. (President of the American Supremacists). And, the same can be said for the conservative party which currently runs the province of Ontario,…
