Fear is the web that keeps us estranged from each other. We are made to believe that our pain is caused by the other when it’s orchestrated by the machine that separates us. Brutality, hunger and despair drives us insane and numb to our pain. Letting go of our reflexes that remember the pain of […]
Posturing is not a sign of strength, it showcases weakness, irrationality, and vindictiveness. A person who is in the business of administering his/her own business doesn’t need to show strength and wouldn’t intrude in the business of others. Our ineptitude powers our insecurity. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026
We each need to be historians on our history, raw and unadulterated, and when we do our perspective on who we categorize as, the other, would change.

There is no meritocracy in this world, there is only autocracy. We can’t depend on the benevolence of others. Our success depends on our ingenuity. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026
We don’t owe anyone anything. Who we do owe is ourselves. How small do we have to feel about ourselves to believe that another sacred life is ours to misuse and abuse. There are no upper echelons or downcasts, no masters or serfs. Resurrection is not for the dead, it is a sacrament for the […]
Some of us are consumed about what our presumed opponents are doing that we neglect to work on our weaknesses. We believe that if we can obstruct another we can keep them from upending us. We put ourselves on a scale and seethes if anyone weighs in with the same weight as us. Life offers […]
