My favorite hobbies or pastime activities
My favorite hobbies or pastime activities vary depending on my mood and the level of relaxation I am aiming at. They include:
If I lost all my possessions
If I lost all my possessions, there would be only one course of action: to start over. I have built everything in my life from the ground up through hard work, the unwavering support of my wife and son, and, of course, divine grace. If I were to lose it all, it would be unfortunate, sad, depressing yes, but then as a habit I do not sit and grieve for long. I start and rebuild. The number of years I have left may limit how much I could recover, but giving up or wallowing in sorrow or self pity, is not in my dictionary. I fight to regain what I lost, no matter the odds. Being optimistic helps, believing in your own self, helps more. Look ahead and forge your destiny. There will always be setbacks in life, some small, others huge. Never give up.
Some serious rethinking
The topic on which I am doing some serious rethinking is whether evolution, as we understand it, has come to a halt. Let me explain with an example. Consider the moon landings. According to official records, in 1969 the United States successfully landed on the moon. Over the next few years, multiple successful missions followed, all by the US, and thensilence. What’s puzzling is this: despite the intense space race between the US and the Soviet Union, the USSR never attempted to replicate the moon landings. Fast forward 50 years, with all the advances in science and technology, and we’re still struggling to get boots on the lunar ground. By now, shouldn’t we have built thriving lunar colonies? So, what’s going on? Is there something more to the story, or have we become less capable over time? Could evolution be reversing, at least intellectually? Given how much time we spend… Some serious rethinking
