Power structures are oppressive. They make us miserable and do not work. Yet we cannot shake them off. Why is that? What can we do about it?
The Iniquitous Boss

Why the Left hates Guns
The Gun destroyed Feudalism. It led to the triumph of Democracy. Now the powers that be want to take away people’s freedom. To do that, they must remove the ways and means. An armed citizen is a freeman. Only slaves are not allowed weapons.
The Deja Vu Error
Deja Vu is a glitch in the matrix. Our perception is forever changing. Life is a mighty river. History and Time move on.
Darwin Lives On
Darwin was right all along. We adapt to changing stimuli… or we die. One cannot fight change. In the long run, the Search for Meaning is meant to validate it. Its intrinsic value is part of our genetic legacy. We carry the Mortality-defying spirit of our Ancestors in our allele. We live on because we struggle to adapt. We stop struggling, we die. The Choice is Ours.
On Addiction
Addiction is a choice. Why? Because you choose to be addicted to whatever floats your boat. Good news: if you can get hooked on something then you can also get unhooked.
On Entitlement
Entitlement is the Road to Perdition. Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad. Problem: A fool and his rights are soon parted. One man's loss is the other man's gain. Solution: Jefferson.
On Empathy
Be kind. Be supportive. And don’t add to the total sum misery of humanity. Make your parents proud. Be honest but use diplomacy as much as you can. Be assertive without being a nincompoop. Naked honesty may be expedient but hurting people never is. Rise above the fray. Life is tough. Don’t make it tougher.
Dishonesty is Madness
If you care about the world around you, stop lying to yourself and others. Life has a way of paying you back if you don’t. Everything happening today is on us. The good and the bad. So next time you feel like screaming at the insanity around you, don’t. You might as well point at your own self and own it. If you ever lied, you are part of the problem. We are all part of the Problem.
The Cross-Roads of History – A study into the Butterfly effect
It is said the road to hell is paved with the good intentions of those who’ve undertaken the journey. But what about the one leading up to heaven? The road to heaven is paved by those who stood up against the system and challenged its Dogma. Jesus was one of those radicals who proposed a new way of looking at life. For this, the Romans put him on trial for his life. Next to him stood the bandit Barabbas. It is said Pilate of Pont had the crowd decide by acclamation their fate. The crowd chose poorly but did they now?! Have you ever considered the consequences of their choice, throughout time?
A trip into my Past
Describe your most memorable vacation. Last month I went back to the old country, Romania, on a humanitarian mission to help my aging mom. Pretty soon after stepping inside her apartment, I realized two things. One, she is no longer a mom. She’s now an old lady, who’s losing her mind to loneliness, despair and … Continue reading A trip into my Past
