I have often talked about the wonder and power of language on this blog. Language is possibly the greatest creation of life on this world. I say life, because language takes many forms, and not all of them involve words. But that does not take away from the immense potential that languages made of words […]

For many, this is a time for self-reflection and pursuit of change. Why now? Frankly because of a rather arbitrary date on a very specific calendar. Many will look back at the previous year, and make promises to themselves on […]

If we want to improve our lives, whether on a personal, societal, or global level, then we must change that which does not work for us. This often means changing our attitude about “things” rather than changing […]
As the holiday season approaches, the theory is that people’s attitudes change. Supposedly at this time of year, people become more forgiving, more aware of the needs of others … in short more caring. Whether this actually happens or not is debatable and a matter of personal experience. But even if this is truly what […]

This is not an opinion, but simple fact. Change, innovation, ANYTHING new requires original ideas, and the very definition of original requires NON-CONFORMIST. Humanity would never even have gotten beyond “primitive” […]
I have been quiet here lately, as is no doubt obvious to any who actually pay attention to this site. Some might be curious why, more likely few are really interested. And that is precisely why I have been quiet. I have once again been wrestling with the concept of “Why bother?” What is the […]

The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.” ― Eleanor Roosevelt No single person has more power than that which is given to them by those they have […]

The first and basic definition … right from the internet (which of course never lies) … is “the governing body of a nation, state, or community”. Or in even simpler terms … the ones in charge. So the next question for me is why exactly […]
When I came up with the idea for PAX Nation, the intent was to develop an active community for change. This intent has not changed, but for the most part it has so far been just me spouting my own ideas … some maybe good … some maybe not so good. While the number of […]

I first shared it with the world back when I first started blogging in 2010. With the current issues involving the environment, I felt like I needed to share it again. It is a bit tongue-in-cheek, and maybe not a […]
