The art of getting by…

I think its a movie actually but I haven’t seen it, my reason for the statement (aka unseen movie…) is a lot more uncertain as I’m sure the movie with it’s directors and producers, and actors et al had a grand script of sorts that allowed them to meander through whatever plot, sub plot(s) and general context the movie has at its core with some ‘artiness’, ‘coming of age, epiphany like moments at crucial times etc etc. all coming together is the final 5 to 10 minutes, and then it all made sense in some (undefined) sorta way!
Mine ain’t like that…life is like a reaction, things happen, we react, next thing happens, we do, we plan but that generally gets fukced by what the world has planned (strange how its generally in stark contradiction to our plans), we react, we survive, seldom really live, and then we hope like hell we’ve done enough (not quite sure what), said enough (what and to whom still remains a fuzzy notion to me) to allow us some sense of achievement ( a life well lived), but on whose terms and to what ‘greater good’? Ours, the world’s or some grey area in between… and so on.

Time for change...

Or should it be change with time? Sometimes I feel we get the two confused... I think we should live true according to our heart's knowledge of what's right, strive to live that way despite the hardship that may at times arise and in that way, as the cliche goes we can be the change we want to see in the world!!!

We are warriors, of sorts...

I get that there are 'different' types of Christians in the world, and indeed that it takes all types of people, Christian and otherwise to make the world, I myself don't understand why people put so much effort into trying to convert 'other' religions to their own because I dont think religion (or faith) defines a persons character, or implies some form or depth of integrity... I just don't get it, its not to say I'm right or wrong, but if we focussed more on living better lives, giving more, being more empathetic, more gracious in defeat, more sharing in victory and more loving then I'm convinced that we'll be better people and the world, in some incremental way would be a better place, whatever faith we practice! The piece above, I did purely to convey that at times it takes a bit of delivry to create the best angels...not always, but battles and wars are far from fairytales and love poems...

Great quote on Affirmative Action in SA

“South Africa is the only country in the world where affirmative action is in the favour of the majority who has complete political control. The fact that the political majority requires affirmative action to protect them against a 9% minority group is testament to a complete failure on their part to build their own wealth making structures, such that their only solution is to take it from others.” London Times
