Hi Readers
It is a very puzzling world and information overload, rapid technological changes and personal development related to the environment one lives in coupled with the tragedies and crises posed by both nature and individuals have placed immense pressure on one and all. The young need to be nurtured while the adolescent has to cope with life through those difficult years. The working adult is confronted with having to thrive in a competitive environment. Physical sickness and psychological ailments have to be contended with as one matures and reaches old age.
Conventional teaching dictates social mores to be followed by both the young and the old. Today, many find it difficult to follow because of selfishness, self gratification and loss of purpose. When good values are pointed out , often such remarks are met with confrontational responses and plain protest. Sending children to day care is seen with pride among the well-to do while the not so privileged remain uneducated. Religious instructions and personal experiences have their merits but may be misinterpreted or lend to extremism,
Perhaps there is a need to look at an ALTERNATIVE PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE that would question Darwin's Theory of Evolution and at the same time make it difficult to accept 'Special Creation' as an alternative option.
This blog would attempt to interpret approaches to life in a reflective way using unconventional and conventional means to communicate with people of all ages and from all walks of life.
The ultimate aim is to live in peace, find meaning to ways people see life and provide some points to contemplate . I hope to receive comments from readers providing us with reasons for taking laternative views and still prepare us to live in harmony with each other, with mother earth and contribute to sustaining a safe environment. Life needs to be lived happily and meaningfully.
