Hegemony

  The only person we have dominance over is ourselves.   Let’s not be fooled into thinking that we have total control over another person or other sentient beings.   How can we who are unable to thwart our fate with death be so disillusioned into thinking we are all powerful.   We are not […]

Impartiality

  If we require impartiality in our interactions with others now in the time for us to put impartiality into practice in every decision we make that revolves around the livelihood and well being of others.  Being partial no longer serves the need of our global village, we have to be transparent, impartial, and honest. […]

Equality

    Do we consider ourselves equal to each other or do we believe we are superior to others.  There is no status quo in this, our universal village.  We are either plunderers or peace makers.   If we cheat and rob each other because we can, in order to increase our resources, we aren’t creative, […]

All Fools Day

At this juncture of our lives, amidst a world wide pandemic, I believe we are called upon to stop acting the fool and to see with our eyes wide open the consequences of our actions.   Let not the significance of this day go in vain. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2020

Complicity

    Whether we care to admit it or not some of us profit from the game of disparity and disenfranchisement.  The question we need to ask of ourselves is: how am I complicit in this disparity and what can I do to create a more homogeneous world? © Norma Bobb-Semple 2020

Fiction versus Reality

  Some of us want to live for all eternity and we crave a continuity of life.   That’s not the reality.   I believe that being alive allows us to see and appreciate the oneness in all humanity.  Life becomes more meaningful when we live knowing that our time here is not infinite.   All […]

Common Sense

  We as humans behave as though we are all powerful.   No one can stop us as we plunder, lie, cheat and destroy, and then this, a simple microbe, that can’t be stopped by being bombed or shot at, have us all hyped up and at our wits end trying to control and stop […]

Worry

    Worrying does not solve a situation.  When problems arise and we can’t find a solution let it be.  We all know that there were times in our lives when we thought that a problem was insurmountable and that it could not be overcome but looking back we can now say to ourselves: that […]

The Centre of the Storm

  It is quite different when we are away from the epicenter of a catastrophe.   We rationalize that the problem is theirs and not ours.   Since we are all in this together let’s put aside our greed and hostility and work towards the healing of this planet and it’s inhabitants. © Norma Bobb-Semple […]

A Time To Share

  Amidst the present circumstances most of us have turned our homes into vast warehouses stacked with essential and non essential items.  Let’s take a moment to think of all those people who doesn’t have the money to buy the basic necessities – food.  I am sure that the majority of us don’t mind sharing […]
