CHOICES AND FREE WILL

CHOICES AND FREE WILL

Life is good, offering an abundance of happiness and joy, tempered with comforting restraint and respect for others, even creating pathways for glory and celebration! However, It's not always so! We are beset by many roadblocks, in the form of hatred, vindictiveness, jealousy, sadness, financial problems, and an inability to cope, which can leave us broken and destitute. We become, invariably, angry and offensive,revolting against others, and the system, casting blame on forces that exist beyond the confines of ourselves.


But is this so? Are we trapped within the parameters of our own construct?


We are basically, and scientifically,  atomic structures, made up of positive and negative vibrations, or, energies. We are blessed and imbued with synetic energies and a structural system that gives us the ability to comprehend and make decisions. We are a beautiful structure of science and grace, with inspiration, foresight, and hindsight, which give us the amazing power to make choices. 


Let me digress by way of analogy. I go to a facility in my neighborhood on a regular basis, and I am amazed at this process of makig choices as I observe people in front of the coffee machine.The  machine offers a variety of options, and works tirelessly all day,within its mechanical construct, to meet the demands of it's clients, who stand and deliberate, even procrastinate, before making a choice. It gives them freedom to determine what drink they will take. It doesn't force them! They have the right and free will to touch any of the machine’s buttons! They will live by their choices, enjoying a good brew, suffer an overdose of caffeine,  or, develop an upset stomach! It all cones down to their free will!  


This analogy can easily be applied to situations where we struggle to maintain equilibrium in our lives, keeping our positive and negative vibrations, or, energies, in balance. On many occasions, in pursuit of risk taking and venturing into the unknown, we make choices that are detrimental in keeping that balance. 


We are responsible for our own destiny! We are responsible for our own health! We are responsible for our own happiness, and our own sadness. Maintaining a heavy dose of positive vibrations keeps us well! Nevertheless, we Live in a conundrum of maladies and fallacies, and we become susceptible to weaknesses and forces of nature beyond our control, and suffer the consequences 


Notwithstanding those things that we cannot control, if we put out negativity, we will attract more of the same and, eventually, negativity will triump, to the detriment of whatever positivity prevails.  The same happens with positivity. Frequent doses of positive energy will destroy your bad inclinations. 


Do good, and you will receive good! Give, and you will receive!

OUR CHANGING TIMES: DOOM OR GLORY

OUR CHANGING TIMES: DOOM OR GLORY Two particularly useful and significant lessons of human behavior that I have learnt in my social progression on the ladder of upward mobility, still habitually gnaws at my intricate psychological constructs. During my early years in the upper echelon of management, I was told by my management mentor, in simple terms, that in any social engineering of humanity, it is the living thing that has the capacity to deceive and lie, and not the inanimate objects that I will be dealing with.  Intricately connected to this observation, is the remarkable ability of  living things to decieve, and celebrate a dance of intrigue and camouflage.  We have developed this art form into means of survival, deception, treachery, vengeance,  jealousy, and unmitigated tragedy. It is amazing how this web of deceipt has embedded itself in the socio-political milieu of our existential behavior. It has become an intrinsic part of our lives, and for many it's a ...

FIRERASS

FIRERASS  Harry Bissoon 2/13/2026 Mabel, up before sunrise, long before the cock, Natty, crows.  In haste, amidst hazy and foggy mist, she pushes herself to limits anew, to meet deadline, daily vows,   The light shines through neighba Aunty Breto's windows, in an eerie brightness.  It flashes,dances,and speeds into the still darkness,  Look! Mabel laments! She gone again! To roam and suck blood, before light approaches! Firerass she is! Firerass, oh god, is Breto, a never-ending nighttime seeker of gourmet secrets.  Nay,she cannot be. She laughs and talks,day after day, with a face of neighborly goodness.  But yet,  flies and seeps through cracks, in hungry nighttime flurries of wanton, thirsty adventures of mysterious gourmet madness.  Let her go, Mabel sighs. Make your way, Breto! Make your way! You are the village night walker! @highlight

THE PANGS OF DEATH

Death is ever present, and  like a dark specter of doom, it hovers above and around us, waiting in the shadows to attack and devastate. It is envious of birth, which brings joy and happiness to us. Envious of our struggles down paths of thorns and roses.It follows us, breaching our defenses when and where we least expect it. Maybe this is why some of us celebrate death and mourn the coming of new life. Maybe this is why some of us glorify death and its painful throes of the unfettered release of our souls to be free of the agonizing clutches of life. Maybe, this why birth and new life are lamented by some, knowing of the trials, tribulations, and bumpy paths that lead us into the hands of Death Itself. Nonetheless, whatever views and opinions we hold close to our bosoms, we still ponder upon this dilemma, trying to reconcile the beatitudes of life and death,being fully aware that death is always filled with agony and sadness.  We are children of promises and faith. We are chil...
