Some AKiC Random Musings

 If a person withdraws, do others approach that person and ask why?  Generally, they don’t.

99 percent of the time, taking the initiative in a starting a relationship yields no practical results.  But you have to keep trying to find that diamond.  

If one is insignificant — and the chances are that one is extremely insignificant — is it even worth one’s while to care about the state, society, and the media present?

“I was a nondescript sixty-something blowhard just sounding off”. That’s a John Derbyshire quote.  It can apply to me now:  Andis Kaulins is a 60 year old blowhard sounding off.

The younger portion of the Canadian voting public apparently voted in greater numbers for the conservatives.  Does that mean they wanted to preserve or conserve the system: the Canadian managerial administrative state?  Maybe some wanted it to be run better, but certainly a good number wanted it be to DOGEd.  Anyway, what this goes to show is that the people who voted for the Liberals were actually being conservative.  The left-wing progressive radical managerial administrative state has been with us for so long that many Conservatives aren’t conservative anymore.  So, it’s time for the Conservatives to change their name.  Perhaps, they could call themselves the Sensibles or the Common-Sensers or the Normals!

Anger is an energy.  If individuals feel powerless and expect magic societal powers to help them out of their funk, they need to realize that only they can ultimately change their situation and/or their outlook on it.  If they don’t think they have the inner resources, they have to realize that the anger or frustration they feel is misdirected energy, it is a resource that they do have but they are using it in a wrong way.

When applying a kick in the ass, it has to be done righteously and with charity.
