Taking a Break
“The golden rule is to test everything in the light of reason and experience, no matter from whom it comes.” – Mahatma Gandhi Had I not had a recent few interactions with my father, quite possibly, I might not have stumbled upon further knowledge that is requiring me to use my mind/brain. I’ve chosen toContinue reading “Taking a Break”
The Serpent
“Through the reading of popular scientific books, I soon reached the conviction that much in the stories of the Bible could not be true.

Rather, I like them for the same element they each provide of curiosity. In an alternate universe, what was George Bailey doing while the other George Bailey was hanging outContinue reading “It’s a Wonderful Life”
Two Be or Not too bee..Honey?
Language is fascinating but it all changes in the eye (mind) of the beholder. Laws and rules were made by emperors, queens, kings, men, woman and humans. I wonder if computer code, which is created by humans, eventually, over time can rewrite its own programming? Laws and rules are ambiguous.
