And because justice recognises in itself that people make mistakes.
EXEMPLAR HUMANAE VITAE - SPECIMEN OF A HUMAN LIFE. I am not really a sofa. But I try to be a filosofa. This is the parent blog of my other blogs which all began here, and which in totality constitute the views of an urban peasant living in London. Including some thoughts on politics, psychology, religion, employment and education. And a little humour. I am a rationalist, a humanist and an atheist and I write from a green/socialist/libertarian perspective.

The real disgrace is the amount of things that people buy that they do not need.
Almost everything anyone buys will end up in a charity shop if it is not thrown away.

So much is thrown away.........

Sport is a recreation
Sport of any kind is a recreation.
It is not an industry, a job, a profession.
It is a recreational, and leisure activity; and a physical exercise, physical and psychological skill and fitness activity.

Also, I repeat that:
MUSIC and the ARTS in general are not really INDUSTRIES...

Psychology
- Regret - understandable but pointless.
- Guilt - pointless.
- Forgiveness - correct.
My faculty of reason (whether God-given or not) shows me that these points are undeniable.

All my life I have been the victim of lies
All my life I have been the victim of lies.
My life consists in exposing them.
But I wouldn't have discovered that they were
lies if I hadn't been their victim.
