World at War with Itself

Have you ever had the feeling lately that many people in the world don’t seem, to know what they are doing how they are doing it, and why they are doing it?  I have listened to conversations and what people are saying, and they all seem to be lost.

There has been much talk about mankind starting a settlement on another planet.  Mars seems to be the chosen one as I write, but before that we will need to set up a settlement on the moon first so we can prepare people to live out of earth’s gravity and survive on a planet that has none of the benefits every living thing on the planet earth depends on.

If one thinks about it, I feel sure the weather and what it is doing must be the topic most talked about around the world.  Doesn’t matter where one lives on this planet we are all subjected to and dependent on the weather. 

Go Tell it on the Mountains

The word Freedom is used quite often by many people, especially when talking about living in certain countries.  But what does Freedom really mean?  Many people would say it is the right to do whatever one wants without restrictions. 

When I started my cleaning business The Duster Dollies in the 1990s, I regularly had to clean the new large houses that were being built then.  Because of TV a Family Room was introduced to these new builds, everyone each night sat in the Family Room watching the TV and eating their dinner which sat on their laps. 

About in the late 1980s I was listening to a science program on the radio, and one of the men speaking was talking about population.  He was concerned because according to him, the number of people on this planet was high, and taking into consideration the number of children being born each year, the population of the earth would be too large within 20 years.  This gentleman’s reasoning was quite sound, and I accepted his view.

I have to confess this subject is one of my hobby horses.  After completing my Masters Degree in International Law in 2016 I realised how much the world had changed and how many Nations were beholden to other Nations. 

Equality

I am very fortunate; I travelled to Australia from Britain by ship in 1952.  That was well before flying was an everyday occurrence.  I was still eleven during the journey; I turned twelve after reaching Sydney.  But, that trip on the MV Strathnaver, was an eye opener for me.  I learned a lot about how people lived in other countries.  Even arriving in Australia, which was a Commonwealth country, was different. 

Patriotism is a great thing, but it can be overdone.  Some people become obsessed in their belief of the greatness of their own country.  Also, the greatness of themselves.  They cannot understand why people of other nations don’t show respect to who they are and their country.
