Hatred is a culture that people choose to be a part of. When we seethe with anger, always towards someone who is defenceless how can we calibrate that as justice. Only cowards can boast of being stronger because of the imbalance of power. We have so much bravado and yet we can’t stop the […]
Joy can appear in any form so we have to be prepared to accept it when it shows up. Packaging shouldn’t play a role in how we relate to the people or things that we attract into our lives. Where there is joy sadness cannot abide. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2020
We assume because of our presumptions how people ought to behave in any given circumstance. Situations in life doesn’t have a one size fit all solution.

Having a job, a family, a house, car or money, is not an indication of success when the majority is subjected to a life of penury while the minority builds wealth […]
Self interest in one’s self to the exclusion of everyone else’s right to make choices is selfish and uncouth. Life is not singular, it is plural. We are a micro of this Universe and if we live in sync with it we would notice that the sun, moon, stars, all bodies of water, […]
