Exposing One’s Self

Why do we need to hide behind screens? Why do we have different personas depending on who we need to represent ourselves as? Do we have to have our curtains drawn in an effort to hide who we really are? A person who is not honest with himself cannot be honest with anyone else? Be […]

Destination

Where do we envision ourselves being, what is our intended destination? Life is not all about fun and games, it is about being true to our purpose. If we can’t uncover what our purpose is, it is time for some self reflection. In the meantime don’t harm the indefensible. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025

Obeisance

Obeisance isn’t a doctrine. No mortal should ask another mortal to be in complete obeisance to him/her. It is immoral and preposterous to expect full allegiance when there aren’t any guarantees. We have to master ourselves, know who we are and develop a moral compass if we don’t already have one. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025

Objectifiable

People love to be objectified, they crave attention, access to the rich, and an insatiable appetite for money and status. This is why human trafficking would never cease, we are too simpleminded to ask of the recruiter: How does this benefit you? Caution should always at the forefront of our minds. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025

Fear

Fear casts a shadow while truth exudes veracity. How we behave under stress opens an aperture to our character: Are we showcasing asininity or deleteriousness? Self judgement is critical at all times. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025

Reflection

Every moment of everyday offers us an opportunity to to look at how far we have come, to see where we have erred and to be committed to change our ways so that we can become a better version of ourselves. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025

Is Life Fair?

People often parrot the words: Life isn’t fair. It’s not that life isn’t fair, it is our callousness in taking advantage of the disadvantaged that creates a disparity. It’s all a game of monopoly, the game board is an illusion. We might own all the wealth and our larder might be overflowing but at the […]

Grown Folks

All grown folks know that change is constant and that consequences are a natural occurrence. Why is it we act on impulse knowing that there will be a debt to pay? Why do we believe we can act with impunity without facing condemnation? Some of us live a life of folly, forgetting that the debtor […]

My Take On Humanity

Most of the people who walk this Earth are ghoulish ghosts some of them levitating, some perp walking. None can trust what most say because they all have become talking heads, spinning tales like salesmen/women whose only interest is garnering a sale. Words without action is like a boat without sails. We are all careening […]
