Cruelty, like every other vice, requires no motive outside of itself; it only requires opportunity - George Eliot
Monday, December 3rd, 2007
The world can be a cruel place…there can be no doubt about that. It is mainly the older generation that tend to have a fear of the internet and because of that it is deemed to be responsible for many problems in the world.
I would argue that there were many things before the age of [...]

The only way is…?
Wednesday, November 28th, 2007
Is there only one way? Is there ever a real wrong when so many different religions, factions, nations and people believe that they are in the right? I honestly have no idea but I can freely state that the mind boggles with the variety of punishments given for some crimes.

Pity the poor?
Monday, November 26th, 2007
I’m sure many of us walk past the homeless and do not give them a second thought or glance for that matter. I unfortunately have a sceptical view of homeless men; I don’t know why the same does not apply for women, in that they are only out on the streets begging to feed a [...]

Wellness is a connection of paths: Knowledge and Action. - Josh Welch
Saturday, November 24th, 2007
How horrible must it be to think that something in your life that you thought had gone away, was always there because you were given the wrong information?
“Who runs the Republic’s health service?” was the headline of a story on BBC’s news website yesterday. I would respond with the answer “Who runs the country?”

Zero Star Health Service
Wednesday, September 19th, 2007
The scrutiny will only get worse this week as the Leader of this country once again steps into the spotlight and gives a performance that he hopes will bore everyone to tears in a such a way as they will want to forget about anything remotely to do with a tribunal.
Meanwhile, away from Planet Bertie, [...]

Remembering the departed.
Sunday, September 16th, 2007
From my own experiences of losing a family member, I know that it can sometimes be too painful to go and visit their grave. Sometimes it can just simply be a case of time healing all wounds and we let their memory fade and the need to visit lessens.

A Hope for Innocence
Tuesday, September 11th, 2007
When the Madeleine McCann first broke in May there was widespread interest as to the whereabouts of the four-year old. After the apparent situation could have happened to any parent on holiday and with that a close bond was formed between those who have young children of empathy and sympathy.

Stop The Hurt
Sunday, September 9th, 2007

Depression
Saturday, September 8th, 2007
Depression is a horrible thing. Speaking from personal experience I can tell you that right there and then you believe that no one in the world understands what you are feeling or going through and that no one will ever have a chance of helping you come back to a more stable state of mind.

The only definition of a leader is someone who has followers. - Peter Drucker
Tuesday, September 4th, 2007
A lot of crimes go unpunished in the world. It has happened long before I was born and will continue to happen long after my death.
As I’ve stated many time, we all have a belief that the further away something is, the less we are bothered by it. With that in mind I give you [...]
