Well said Zee, good to see you’re back and firing all guns.

Hey there MK, thank you.

Unfortunately too many have to learn the hard way that businesses cannot operate with unreliable workers

I wish I could find the link, but I remember reading a so called gen-Xer - a career advisor no less, lamenting the rigidity of corporate work. She thought you ought to be able to wear Ipods while at your desk, come and go as you please as long as you got your work done, dress however you desire, and all other kind of accommodations to make the work day a bed of roses.

They adopt this smug attitude towards any who contend that one must work from the bottom up or learn the ropes. This sense of entitlement that is so freaking pervasive explains a great deal of Obama’s appeal - that is what he sells - buy now, pay later. Only with him, the bill is really gonna come due.

i’d really love to see some progressive idiot choke when the contractor leaves the job half done to start again in 8 months time. I’m sure they won’t be feeling all warm and fuzzy then.

It would be highly amusing if they fired said contractor and then were sued for discrimination. Let them prattle on about equal rights then.

Unfortunately too many have to learn the hard way that businesses cannot operate with unreliable workers, just that they will only learn from experience and we can’t give all the people out there real experience so they can learn from it.

Love your example about the contractor turning up for house work, i’d really love to see some progressive idiot choke when the contractor leaves the job half done to start again in 8 months time. I’m sure they won’t be feeling all warm and fuzzy then.

Glad to see you back zee. Hope you’re feeling much better.

Thank you JAR, still have something lingering in my chest, but at least I have the internet back, which I lost on top it all….

I have to say that it appears to me that our social mores and our educational institutions have raised the expectations of women, to a rather abstract level of unattainable desires, divorced from the harsh realities of life.

And they have no made it impossible for a woman to revel in being a woman, but have insisted that the pinnacle of womanhood is caricaturing male attributes with their every imperious pose.

Indeed, taken to it’s logical extremes, it will see the women of the Western world fighting for their very existence and freedom (in the most literal sense), against the forces of radical Islam, armed with nothing more than their razor sharped sneers, for the men have been so emasculated, that one wonders just how many, or how few, will have the courage to stand up and fight for their civilization and their women folk.

I have this foreboding that for too many western men, especially, as you say, the emasculated generations who prance about us now, they will find the position of men in Islamic society all too appealing. And I love your description - “armed with nothing more than their razor sharped sneers”

with each attainment she appeared further from what she was unable to realize that what it was that she really desired, she was moving further away from with each passing day, which was to be at peace with herself…the ultimate goal of all of us.

It is so imperative that one never find their identity or source from another human being. No other human being is capable of supplying you with strength or resilience, and ultimately, no one can not take your soul lest you abdicate it.

And so our marriage slowly disintegrated in acrimony and despair.

I am sorry for your pain, too many of us know it well. Yet the left would like to indict the institution of marriage instead of recognizing human fallibility. In a culture dedicated to self-gratification, it is nearly impossible for couples to imagine sacrifice or self-abnegation for the sake of union and family. And these are the same people who opine about sacrificing to the greater good (gag me).

That most precious of commodities..,. self contentment, comes from a keen insight of the self, often after a long painful process.

I learned early on to carve my home out inside myself. My father’s death made me very wary of ever finding my security and peace in another. But it has often occurred to me the journey that we westerners tend to take, the “painful process”, the introspection and passages through various ideological and spiritual pursuits - it seems a luxury that living cradled in the wealth of the west allows for, cocooned as we are, for the most part, from the deprivations and animal existence eked out by so many in the middle east and Africa, North Korea…. How metaphysical does one get when scraping out mere sustenance occupies every moment?

This endless navel gazing of the feminists and their allies in academia and the media, does not bode well for our future.

It has already begun it’s inevitable harm and damage. We now reap.

Another excellent piece zee. Speaking as a somewhat embittered ex-husband and father, I have to say that it appears to me that our social mores and our educational institutions have raised the expectations of women, to a rather abstract level of unattainable desires, divorced from the harsh realities of life. No, I’m not saying men are misunderstood angels, lord knows there are enough self serving monsters out there, an equal number of vain foolish men. But the false narrative put about by the feminists and the Marxists that women were the victims of oppressive patriarchal structures was always a fine veil of mendacious claptrap. Indeed, taken to it’s logical extremes, it will see the women of the Western world fighting for their very existence and freedom (in the most literal sense), against the forces of radical Islam, armed with nothing more than their razor sharped sneers, for the men have been so emasculated, that one wonders just how many, or how few, will have the courage to stand up and fight for their civilization and their women folk.

When I met my wife, her goals were to find a husband, build a home / buy a house, have children and raise a family. As she attained each goal, she became more miserable, and more angry, for with each attainment she appeared further from what she was unable to realize that what it was that she really desired, she was moving further away from with each passing day, which was to be at peace with herself…the ultimate goal of all of us. And so our marriage slowly disintegrated in acrimony and despair. Wealth, prosperity, fine homes, children or consumerism, are not the equity from which we can derive our own inner satisfaction. That most precious of commodities..,. self contentment, comes from a keen insight of the self, often after a long painful process. Even the most bubbly out-going extrovert, more often than not hides a deep sadness and longing for a self contentment that never was nor ever could be, given the current state of our cultural and spiritual disarray, for we are all looking in all the wrong places. The key to inner contentment is to be found within our own hearts, within our own individual spirits. We are empty shallow vessels, easily distracted by trinkets and baubles; often blinded by false ideologies and the vain and empty opinions of others. We need to reflect upon our own souls and so find ourselves. Not an easy task, in a world gone quite, quite mad.

As the headlines of each day give clear warning, radical Islam is feeling expectant and triumphant, with a fresh thirst and a lust to once again assume the most important charge of the faithful… the expansion of Islam within this earthly paradise . Unless we cast aside our foolish pursuits, we will indeed find ourselves in very desperate circumstances with Islam at our throats. This endless navel gazing of the feminists and their allies in academia and the media, does not bode well for our future.
