When I was younger I had problems getting dates. I kept watching everyone around me coupling up and it made me feel like there was something wrong with me.

The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists
'The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists' is a book I first came across way back in the mid-seventies when I started going to evening classes to study English Literature after a hard day at work. It was a book that made an immediate and lasting impression on me, not least of all due to the fact that it spoke to me about people in my position, ie, belonging to, or coming from, the impoverished working classes. That was me and my family in a nutshell.

It never grows old and we never grow tireless of it! 🙂 The problem with today is that because we’ve changed into such a fast paced, let’s get everything done NOW world, it has displaced some of us people known as READERS and writers!

And with all the changes in technology it has brought us to a very difficult place and time in our lives, with the awkwardness of what to do about our options around our beloved, glorious habit of books?

I DID NOT ASK TO BE HERE.
Is it preferable not to have existed? Some people think it would be better if there was no conscious life at all. The philosophical position known as antinatalism holds that procreation constitutes moral evil. Therefore, we ought to steer clear of it. Some antinatalists believe that just humans should stop having children, while others argue that it would have been better for all sentient beings if they had never existed. But isn't it wrong to be against childbirth? Why would somebody be opposed to the development of new life? David Benatar is one of the most well-known antinatalist thinkers of our time. Instead, Not to Have Been, one of the books he wrote, contains a thorough explanation of his antinatalist beliefs. Benatar contends that creating new sentient life is always evil because doing so causes grave harm. Therefore, the most beneficial thing we may do for our future offspring is to avoid procreation because those who haven't been born aren't subject to the pain of life. His antinatalist stance is, therefore, not motivated by a dislike for sentient creatures. It is motivated by compassion because it wants to stop the inevitable misery of being born. Antinatalism is a contentious issue that conflicts with many people's worldviews. The general public likely opposes antinatalism since they view it as misanthropic. After all, isn't destroying all sentient life to alleviate suffering a bit harsh?

View from the Floor
As many people here know, due to my previous articles and poems, I have a disorder known as functional neurological disorder (FND). A huge part of functional neurological disorder for myself, and many others, is a type of seizure called psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES). These seizures, while not dangerous, are very disruptive to daily life. They make me feel alone, weak, and not in control of my own anxiety (and other emotions).

Learning a little about Love
I have a confession to make: I am not the single most confident person in the world. Despite being fairly outspoken at times, a little loud at others and in general a bit manic and over-the-top, I'm actually an introvert. During the course of the years, I've learned that being a wallflower really doesn't help me achieve my goals or make connections with other people. And those connections are important for so many different reasons, but I wont get into them right here and now.

On the Outside. Top Story - August 2023.
No, I did not live a life filled with rumbles and small-town crime and golden sunsets. Nonetheless, S.E. Hinton's "The Outsiders" is one novel that always manages to draw me back, especially when I'm reminded of my "outsider" ways myself.

The Strange Cases of Tom and Eileen Lonergan
Tom and Eileen Lonergans in January 1998 husband and wife Tom and Eileen were getting back from a Harmony Corps mission in Fiji going to Hawaii both were capable jumpers and concluded they couldn't pass at the possibility plunging at the Incomparable Boundary Reef so on January 25th they loaded up the external edge boat that took them and a gathering of different vacationers 40 miles out to the ocean where they visited three jump destinations the last being a spot named Fish City. The power experience jumpers were happy with going off on their own in the water. Anyway when they reemerged from their plunge to their shock their plunge boat had left without them abandoning them swaying in the huge sea it is standard practice for plunge Journey to do a head stick prior to making a beeline for shore yet on this event something turned out badly none of the vessel's group or travelers saw the two had not returned on board until two days some other time when the boat proprietor thoroughly searched in a pack that had been abandoned that day by the travelers. Quickly alert began to ring when he found Tom's wallet a salvage group was promptly conveyed and broad hunts were made yet unfortunately the couple were gone forever their bodies are prospective adrift somewhere in the middle of the ocean like other horrendous encounters. Tom and Eileen's story was transformed into a film called Open Water I portrayed the couple meeting their end circumnavigated by sharks yet the genuine story is a lot more unnerving just on the grounds that nobody truly realizes what befell them throughout the long term a ton of data has emerged about their lives and the conditions that prompted them being deserted a little while after they were accounted for unaccounted for parts of their plunging gear appeared on shore remembering inflatable coats with their names for air tanks and a lady's wetsuit anyway none of the things had any indications of blood or openings that would be predictable with a shark assault what was odd was the reason the Lonergans had taken off the coat that would assist with keeping them above water it's estimated they might have taken them off trying to swim to shore despite the fact that without the lightness of their coats they would have likely worn themselves out to the mark of fatigue one of the most chilling things was found a half year after they vanished when a plunge record was found by an angler a plunge record is utilized by jumpers so they can impart submerged they are essentially little loads up where data and messages can be composed the plunge record found by the angler was dated January 26 1998 with a period of 8 AM and a message that read if it's not too much trouble, assist us or we with willing kick the bucket the pain note seems to show The Recluse posses were as yet alive basically until the following day likewise found at the couple's house were journals that both Tom and Eileen had kept and a portion of the sections demonstrated everything was not wild in their lives they expounded on despising their positions and frightfully Eileen felt her significant other had fostered a Desire to die Tom's journal seemed to uphold this with a section that read like an understudy who has completed a test I feel that my life is finished and I'm prepared to kick the bucket these Disclosures prompted ideas the couple were either doing a self destruction settlement or the casualties of a homicide self destruction because of Tom one more unusual Hypothesis arose while police were examining the case the commander of one more boat professed to have visited a similar jump spot the following day and may have experienced the couple as per his story the head preceded the vessel's return trip came out two more than the one taken when the boat left port evidently the sightseers on the boat were all from Italy and talked in their local tongue anyway the chief heard a couple of American voices among the sightseers that day assuming that this record is valid it could demonstrate the lonergan's arrangement to go through the night in the sea realizing they could join another jump boat the following day prompting claims The Lonergans faked their own demise this hypothesis was subsequently supported where in excess of 20 individuals approached professing to have seen the solitary agains after they probably vanished anyway considering the two of them abandoned their visas never contacted their financial balances after the episode and their insurance contracts were never traded out this appears to be a digit unrealistic some have addressed why the Lonergans didn't swim to one of the sufficiently bright plunging stages a couple of miles away or waved to a passing boat in spite of the fact that it's been brought up that albeit these things would be effectively noticeable from the deck of a boat they might not have been effortlessly seen from the outer layer of the water Tom had likewise left his glasses on board making it considerably more challenging so that him might find furthermore it's almost certain The Lonergans were in a condition of frenzy they had been left totally alone and as I was ticked by they probably understood that boats wasn't returning for themselves and there was no dynamic salvage in progress coupled this with the intensity from the Sun and absence of crisp drinking water they were logical in a not so great kind of way nobody realizes what happened to The Lonergans and it's difficult to envision being in that particular situation toti alone encompassed by a shark swarmed sea it appears to be far-fetched that they were eaten by sharks like portion of the world's sharks live in the waters around Australia the majority of them are totally innocuous to people all the proof appears to highlight the Lonergans becoming depleted and suffocating obviously botches were made by the boat proprietor and after he was vindicated of murder a common body of evidence was brought against him and the business shut stricter regulations on how jump organizations work and how head counts are taken have additionally been upheld it's terrible to think they probably resided for no less than 48 Hours alone in the sea the case is miserable in light of the fact that except if they deliberately counterfeit their own passing which appears to be impossible this shouldn't have occurred.
