Swimming with the tide:

Image
In the book, How did I get here? , I read about the moment my life changed. Well, in truth, it wasn’t a single moment. It was a series of moments—nudges, whispers, and eventually loud, undeniable calls—that arrived at a time when I was ripe for change. I’ve always been a deep thinker, prone to questioning the world around me. I suspect I was destined to follow a more contemplative path. Yet, even now, as I reflect on this journey, I find myself caught in the tension between two lives. On one hand, there is the life I dream of: simple, free, filled with time to write, create, and immerse myself in the practice of Buddhism, allowing its principles to flow into every corner of my daily life. On the other hand, there is the material life—the one where I must secure a roof over my head and food on my plate. These two lives are not naturally aligned, and navigating the gap between them often feels like swimming against the tide. The Tide of Society In society, success is often measured in ma...

Responsibility without Authority.

Responsibility without Authority: “… sometimes I’ve seen someone with the responsibility for a task but little or no authority to execute. Some tactics to deal with this would be helpful. ” In that article, I pointed out the difference between responsibility and accountability by stating that responsibility can be shared, but accountability cannot. In addition to being responsible for something, when you’re accountable you, and you alone, are also answerable for your actions. You own the results. Perhaps I should start by defining these three words—responsibility, accountability, and authority—that are so often used interchangeably. You may disagree with my definitions, but experience has shown me that confusion around these words, and the implications of not managing for each of them purposefully, is a cause for dysfunction in many organizations. Defining each the way I have provides a framework to begin to create more effective communication, healthier leadership, and a culture of ac...

Is Woman for sale?

Image
The average woman has the mind-set of a parasite. Her age-old scam is to live off a man's hard work, to con him into spending his assets to finance her lifestyle. The more resources he controls, and the more willing he is to part with his cash (her conscience-balming euphemism for this is "being generous"), the more attractive he becomes in her eyes. Good-looking young women do not marry fat, balding men twice their age because they're hopelessly in love, despite all their innocent protestations to the contrary. A woman is for sale and her body is her commodity. She packages it with make-up, perfume, and wire-girded bras and offers it to the highest bidder. A woman's entire concept of self-worth is determined by the price she can command for the use of her vagina. Possessing an almost infinite capacity for self-adoration, she is obsessed with her appearance because she knows that this is what she is marketing to men. She measures her self-worth and status as a hum...

DISHONEST WHORES _Dating and courtship

Image
The dishonesty of female prostitution is the central theme of this book. Few men object to paying for sex-in fact, society has trained them to accept this contract as a basic tenet of life-as long as this is an honest and equal transaction. In primitive cultures, where making love is considered as natural as eating or sleeping, a man often brings a present of beads to his partner before entering her bed. But sex is always guaranteed, never just implied. This is a simple and aboveboard business arrangement, with both parties in agreement. So if a man spends his money on a woman, he wants sex in return, as naturally he should. But the woman, as we've seen, often fails to comprehend the logic of this scenario. She feels that no bargain has been broken when she allows a man to take her out, and then refuses to sleep with him, even though she has used her body and her femininity to lure him into wanting to spend time with her in the first place. She suffers no guilt or remorse or sense ...
