Equinox thoughts

We have reached the time when the day and the night are the same length in my part of the world; I think the Autumn equinox was last week. This means the nights will be longer than the days and continue to do so until the 23rd of December.  So on Sunday morning the clocks will go back one hour to give people a chance to see daylight before they head off to work in the morning. This happens every year in my country. 

It was during the Autumn equinox of 2021 that Facebook rebranded itself. Some people say it is because of the exposure from a former employee and bad press they were getting. I don't have a view about Facebook myself, no one is forced to use it and it is free to use. I see it happening all the time but I don't think people need to see it that way. I never in my life imagined people complaining about a product that is free. Remember they have to make money somewhere so if some backwards people pay them to promote their message then let them I say.

Observations for mid May

It is half way through May 2018 and summer is very close. The world cup is around the corner.

For the past three months the slip road at junction 3 on the M40 was under maintenance. The first month they didn't touch the road, they just put cones on it. I guess things are slower outside London.

Another thing I have observed is that Facebook is bringing out phsycopathic behavior and turning people into heartless jerks. I saw a video of a man that was caught mastebating onto an inflatable doll in his car. I was angry because I didn't want to see that and because unessesary shame was brought onto the man because the video was exposed to the public community.

The person that filmed the man and shared the video is a jerk because he brought unessesary shame. It reminds me of the story of Noah in the bible. When the flood cleared, Noah's family drank wine but Noah became drunk and accidentally exposed himself. The son called Ham tried to laugh and mock his father's embarrassment but the sons Japheth and Shem covered him to protect his honour. Ham and his decendants were cursed because of his disrespect to his father and they became slaves. If you mock and increase a person's embarrassment then you are like Ham. If you try to stop a person's embarrassment then you are like Japheph or Shem they we're blessed with riches.

If you see videos on social media that cause unessesary shame to a person then you should resist it and push it away and correct the person that is sharing it. Tell them to be decent and not bring shame to another person. That is the truthfull way I think.

What a week

This whole week has been crazy, we had a surprise election result and a large tower block caught fire and burnt down.

The residential tower block called Glenfel housed hundreds of people. I felt angry because I sensed that corners were cut with health and safety to increase profit margins. This has caused the most violent possible death of many people. There is no other more violent way to die in this world than being burned alive. Many people in the tower block faced that exact outcome. Those that survived lost their home and most of their belongings.

I will write no more on the matter today because I don't want to feel angry.
