Photograph of the Atlas globe Is Life Over After 30? Thursday – April 9, 2026 H earing that noise again? Well, I thought so, and perhaps there is some truth to the adage? Well, it all actually depends on perspective. First and foremost: what do people mean by "is life over"? Do they mean that you will die, or likely die after you have revolved around the Sun about 30 times, about 10950 revolutions around Earth's axis? Or do they perhaps mean something else? Well, I supposed the truth is hidden somewhere in the clouds between the Heaven and the Earth, and really answering that question requires a metaphysical examination, but I guess I should add that many people tend to just throw that adage or colloquialism out in the ether when they are attempting to imply some larger truth about the passage into adulthood properly so speaking, but in that case I guess that it would be just as true to suggest that life is over by 10 or maybe by 1? These things are after all quite arbit...

Another depiction of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent ( محتشم سلیمان ) Enemies | Wednesday – April 8, 2026 E nemies... How do you deal with them? Well, I am unable at this time to make too many broad or specific, for that matter, claims about how to handle them, and it is of course true that each situation having to do with enemies being involved in one way or another is highly specific, which makes generalizations somewhat deaf and specifications, if you will, or qualifications out of harmony. So again, there can be no single way, for the most part at any rate, in which you should deal with enemies, but one thing that I can assert to be true: is that you do have enemies. This fact is actually a somewhat complicated matter, because often you may be strolling down the street not knowing that you have enemies, because you see, you are not privy to all your enemies; it is not the case that you get to choose your enemies. Truly ask yourself this: would you create enemies for no good reason,...

Yahweh in  (יהוה‎) : Moses and the Burning Bush Why I Write | Sunday – April 7, 2026 P erhaps I write because I find meaning and joy in writing? No, not at all. I guess though, that it would be cliché to say, to write in this case, that I am writing because I have to write, but in my case this is very much true. In all honesty I cannot say that I particularly enjoy writing at all, but the fact is that I do not need to enjoy something that I have to do, or rather that I need to do. You may also say that this is a kind of calling, but that would also be untrue. There is just no such thing as a calling on a personal level: I am not writing because God told me to write; I am writing because this has to happen, at this point in my life. At another point in my life I will reach another phase, another cycle, and then it may no longer be the case that I should write, and at that point I would need to put my pen down. It is also not the case that I am being, at least not trying to be, indi...
