Money is always the motivation to steal, plunder and marginalize countries and people who don’t have military power, or the ability to retaliate. Bullies aren’t only in the school yards, they are everywhere, in boardrooms, banks, offices and our hallowed halls. If I think of you as a chip on the gambling table […]
We all experience life differently depending on the angle of our telescope. We tend to scan and look for constellations of the human condition with which we are comfortable. If we are fortunate enough to have patrons in our life our experiences are pristine. If we are considered a member of the lesser […]
We should examine our lives and determine whether our actions supports our growth or impedes it. We can be our worst enemy by the thoughts we think and the company we keep. Transiency is not isolated to homelessness, we can become transient through our thoughts and our actions. The way we approach our self management […]

If I were ever in possession of a genie and I am granted seven wishes. My first wish would be the abolition of all forms of racism and prejudice. My second wish would be to end disease and hunger. My third wish would be to end all wars. My fourth wish would be for […]
Feeling powerless is very demoralizing. It’s knowing what the fix is but realizing you are stymied and therefore unable to change the situation. The human psyche is vulnerable.
