I thought blogging would be easy but it is a lot more difficult than I expected. Where shall I begin?
After teaching about values and beliefs for more than ten years I thought I knew about life, the universe and everything but obviously not.
At my age I should have it all sorted but things still jump up and bite you.
Siddartha, the first Buddha, discovered that satisfaction lies in the middle way - the opposite of extremes - but finding the middle way is harder than it seems. How come it is so difficult to avoid the distractions of temptation and to accept that change is inevitable?
Is the world in which we are living today any worse than it has ever been before?
Now, please do not get the wrong idea. It is not my intention to inflict a religious rant but rather to engage in philosophical debate about the whys and wherefores of twenty-first century existence.
Why have human beings not learned to live together more harmoniously? Why is it still better to waste millions on destructive weapons of war than to reach out and build a bridge?
