Most Commented Opinionated Blogs (1,909)

Life makes a complete circle and in most cases, several of them; almost like a wheel. The closer you are to the center of the wheel the smoother is your ride.

However, you cannot win if you do not dare. When you live near the rim of the wheel, life is more interesting. Your ups will be more exciting and your downs more spectacular. When on top, the view will be great but when you go down, you will be dragged through the dust. And when it rains, it will be mud.

On your journey through life, you will overtake some people and some will overtake you. While coming down, you will seldom have much control. It is much like parachuting. You can pull a few strings here and there to choose the best landing spot but down you will go. Some people have the knack to run to the center of the wheel when it starts going down. Others try to stay on top by running on the rim; like a monkey riding a barrel. While it works, it is fine but when you lose your footing, down you go.

Going up is trickier. You have to be careful whom you walk over on your way up for those very people may overtake you again. What goes up, must come down… eventually. A helping hand to somebody going down may (or may not) be remembered later but a kick in the face will certainly not be forgotten.

And when you’re down, get up quickly. Life will not wait for you. Afterwards the people will not remember you for how far you fell. The circumstances that led to your fall will soon be forgotten. You will be remembered for how fast you got up again.


A wonderful day to you all and may it be exceptionally good for all you mommies out there.

I’m starting to believe that I do not have a proper grasp of the English language. Some people simply cannot or will not understand what I try to say. This happens in real life as well.

If I said: ‘All the people who arrived with the first bus, are now seated’, somebody is bound to quote me as having said: ‘All the people who are now seated, arrived with the first bus’. These two statements are not mutually inclusive. To make the second statement true, you have to replace the word ‘All’ in the first statement with ‘Only’. I can understand if the person doing this is still learning to speak English, but these are native English speakers.

And then there are the people who drag things out the context of the blog or paragraph. One has to be so careful of what you write or it may explode in your face. Each word has to be vetted and reevaluated before use. It takes a lot of the pleasure out of blogging. It is as if some people scan the blogs just to find something to criticize, regardless of the context or the spirit of the blog and paragraph. They are easy to recognize, it is the same people all the time. They do nothing but criticize. Never a positive comment.

I think some people simply fail to see the humor in apparent serious situations. Looking at something from the funny side of it, does not make it less serious, nor does it ridicule the ‘victims’. It is the situation and the circumstances, sometimes riddled with inconsistencies, which are being mocked with. There is humor in the most serious of events and I somewhat pity those who cannot see it. They miss a lot. We cannot go through life with long faces.

And maybe it is time to be less sensitive and to start laughing at ourselves. We, as individuals, are the funniest creatures on this planet; if only we could see ourselves the way others see us. Laugh a bit more, even if it is at your own expense. Life can be such fun.


You have a great weekend, will ya!

I don't look forward to this part of a relationship. Yet it is inevitable. When things are not working as planned and or the so called love is going sideways for whatever reason. What is next? Forward or Reverse?

I am not the person that is easily convinced that trust and commitment will get restored if both are willing to work it out. Really?

I am finding the right door to get out at the moment. lol, hopefully the door is wide open.

Anyways share your feelings if you can relate to this.

Do you find ending a relationship quite easy? Or hard? I know it depends, but to me, it is a very uneasy feelings to go through.

Frequently, on the websites of Yahoo news and on Youtube, I see articles and videos with the heading "How much is (personality's name) worth?" or "What is (personality's name) net worth?", and it makes me wonder.

Firstly, why would you (the writer/video maker) put that information out there? Isn't it private? Are you even authorized to do so? And wouldn't that information make the persons targets for theft, kidnapping, etc, thus endangering persons' life?

Besides that, how shallow is it to base a person's 'worth', only on how much money they've made/inherited/etc.? But then, that's the state of the world that we live in, isn't it? Very sad, but very real. If you don't have money or wealth, then you don't have 'worth'...to many people.

And that's just another reason why some feel that they are better than/superior to others...Unity struggles to be heard amongst the noise of the dividers. But, we should all know our worth, without depending on others for confirmation.


How much are you worth?

"Radio-frequency identification uses electromagnetic fields to automatically identify and track tags attached to objects. An RFID system consists of a tiny radio transponder, a radio receiver and transmitter." From Wikipedia

What are the Pros and cons?

If you had a choice would you do it?

If yes, why? If no, why not?

America has undergone enormous change during the nearly seven decades of my life. Today, America is a bitterly divided, poorly educated and morally fragile society with so-called mainstream politicians pushing cynical identity politics, socialism and open borders. The president of the United States is threatened with impeachment because the other side doesn’t like him. The once reasonably unbiased American media has evolved into a hysterical left wing mob. How could the stable and reasonably cohesive America of the 1950s have reached this point in just one lifetime? Who are the main culprits?

10) Mark Felt
9) Bill Ayers
8) Teddy Kennedy
7) Walter Cronkite
6) Bill and Hillary Clinton
5) Valerie Jarrett
4) Jimmy Carter
3) Lyndon Johnson
2) Barack Hussein Obama
1) John Kerry

This world is driven by greed. People are greedy creatures and the only way to keep them happy is to give them what they want. Failing that, you get an unhappy world like we have today.

By definition greed is a selfish and insatiable desire for material gain, be it food, money, status, power or whatever.


Greed is often confused with ambition. Some people will tell you that if not for greed, we’d still be living in caves but that’s not true. It is ambition that got us here; greed only works in the short term. When a sickly and insatiable desire to possess more than what one really needs leads to a condition where 10% of the population possesses 90% of the wealth while the bulk of the planet live in poverty, then something very wrong. The problem with greed is that you never get enough. You always want more; even at the expense of others.

Exactly what people want, is not always easily discernible. Some may yearn for material things like money, real estate, jewellery, fancy cars and so forth while others may have more abstract desires like fame, popularity, status, attention, and the likes of it. And then there is another category whose greed is spurred by what other people possess. Greed and envy is an unholy combination.

There is nothing wrong with being prosperous – or rich if you prefer – we need rich people on the planet. They provide employment to the masses but when somebody ignores needy people when they can afford to help, or even worse, when somebody who can afford to buy his own bread, takes the bread out of the hands of somebody less privileged, we need to look at our system.

The sadness of it is that the greedy – with all their possessions – are not happy. You cannot be happy while there is still something that you crave for.

I Wish you all a wonderful day.

Seen lots of programmes since that dreadful day and still haunts me watching those poor people jump to their deaths rather than burn to death,.....

I hope you all get lots of cards, gifts, messages and have a fantastic day,.............
