The Contradictions Of Christmas
Every year, for at least a month or more, the UK goes into a spin about celebrating Christmas. The traditional carols come out of mothballs for another year, the retailers gear up for another spending spree on gifts, and there is the usual anxiety about getting the right turkey, everything going well for the relatives on the big day, and everyone having a super time. Like Thanksgiving in America, the Christmas period is a chance to renew friendships, chill out with loved ones, and simply celebrate the year, though the copious amount of drink consumed, and its after-effects, have been an increasing cause for concern.

Mother is my support
Ami was suddenly attacked by an unknown disease, she was suffering from severe pain day and night Things like witchcraft and amulets etc. are becoming a scourge in our society. People are ruining their lives by getting caught in the clutches of these evil practitioners. No one in our house has ever imagined amulets etc. Nor did we believe in such things. But the events that happened to our family and the way we saw our house turned from a model of heaven into a center of suffering, have made us think a lot. And it seems that the dark-hearted people of the black ops world are and are resorting to these dirty tactics to destroy homes. Mother loved her brother's daughters more than us daughters. Love gave more importance to them than their time. But these same brothers of Ami along with their daughters took Ami's life. The story is very long and sad but I will narrate it briefly so that with me Don't cry after reading this story of mine.

Planning or chance?
Planning or chance? Random chaos or structured evens? It is strange to think back of several times in my 80 years, when an event changed the direction of my life. Sometimes that change was rapid but in others it took a while to realise change had happened. My life would have been very different without these events. I had, nor could ever have, any control over these events. They were decisions made, consciously or unconsciously, by other people. They involved people I know or knew and the interaction between these people and others I had never met. So, I was not consulted, not even informed at the time and yet they changed my life. So, the question has to be is freewill only freedom to choose how we act, or react, after learning of events that are controlled by others? Even the decisions and actions that affected my life, usually involved people who knew nothing about me. Or at least not anything truthful about me. So, are all these interactions, these decisions and activities, just random chance or planned by some divine entity? It seems that freewill allows some control over the consequences but not the cause. Consider a hypothetical example. If the government suddenly raise taxation on something I produce this inevitable reduces the demand and so my income is adversely affected, yet the government bureaucrats who manged this tax increase, had never consulted me, they did not know I existed as an individual, so nothing personal but their decision will have a big effect on me. My freewill is limited to deciding what to do; do I give up production? work harder to sell at increased price? try to reduce other costs to absorb the tax increase? So, I have some freewill but only over the effect not the cause.

The Jolly Old Man
I rushed to the cafe my long hair hitting me in the face lightly but annoyingly. Greeting the lunch lady who was a sweet old lady, I asked for the freshly prepared chicken baguette sandwich and a fruit bowl - can't forget the fruits. Engaged in a small talk with the granny I watched her prepare the sandwich.

The Roundabout Stage. Content Warning.
Shaken awake by the potholed road, I force my eyes open as the hiss of the night bus lurches and stops. Groggy from the night and the hour from which I wake - only 2 hours away from sunrise. I begin my trek from the terminal. It might not be midnight, but there are plenty of streetlights from here to home.
