Co-Op...

Greed is more human than Cooperation. Just watch three people trying to share the same bathroom, and I don't mean in a kinky way. Entire soap-operas and novels can be written by simply observing the sheer drama that will prevail among three different humans attempting to use the same restroom.

Incentives...

Everyone needs inspiration and incentive every now and again. You'll run your fastest when a pack of wolves are hunting you. You'll bolt even faster when enraged lovers are chasing you. Sometimes all we need in life is that one decisive spark of encouragement. Call it a 'life or death' situation, if you like. There's an exception to the rule… When it comes to angry mothers, stop running, coz you're already dead.

Monsters...

The Covid-19 Wuhan Virus is proof that monsters are not born, they are made…in a lab.

Confluence...

Imagine a blindfold over your eyes. Now, when grazed along the back of your hand, you can't easily tell the difference between the texture and feel of a peacock's feather and tendrils from a spider's web.

Existence...

The lush of Life on one side, the bliss of Death on the other, and the mess of Politics strewn everywhere in between.

Scared of Snakes?

I'll never understand why humans (of all things) are afraid of snakes. These beautiful creatures can use their tongues to taste a vast array of chemical messages. Little to do with tasting flavours, more to do with reading the environment. If humans could do that – flick a two-forked tongue out, retract and slide it into a niche in the upper palate, and relay a 'chemical story' to the brain – then we would know so much more than what we all pretend to show the world. With an evolved version of a snake's 'tongue reading' technique, we can know when someone is lying, when someone is scared, and when someone intends to be either a friend or foe. No wonder we're scared of snakes, they know the Truth. No wonder centuries of human culture and civilization have associated them with Wisdom. On a side note, it's funny how we're so scared of a species that only attacks when provoked, which is quite contrary to humans who attack just because we feel like it. The snake uses poison to hunt, eat, or defend. Meanwhile, here we are threatening nuclear war on one another, using a whole other brand of poison to threaten the very existence of our own species, and the whole world. Honestly, you can't blame snakes for seeing us as threats. They can 'read' the Truth, remember?

Beauty Reboot...

Thank goodness Beauty is only skin deep. Can you imagine if humans had evolved like some fish or frog species with completely transparent skins, and you could see all their internal organs? Last thing we need is to add to our already over-pressured beauty standards. Black Lungs here, rotten heart there, good lawd that liver, oh that one's truly full of sh*t, lookie that tiny brain... Silver lining, though. with fully transparent skin and clear-to-see organs, all you need reply when people ask "Have you eaten?" is "See for yourself."

Questions, Questions...

Why are we intensely attracted to some people while others, though attractive themselves, do not light a fire in us? Why are some people ordinary in appearance but extraordinary in bed? Why do some lips taste better than others, though they are all of them human? Why do some eyes inspire love and others, just lust? Whatever the soulful sensual truth may be, in the end we are all food for the worms.

Solitary Suspicions...

When you start cooking for yourself every day, sooner or later the very act of washing dishes becomes an extreme sport. You’ll get no real exercise from it, but it will feel like a sporting event regardless. And one of those days, you’ll go to your kitchen, stop, and wonder where all those extra plates and pans came from when you’ve only been eating for one person. Good luck figuring that out. And then there’s the part where you forget why you even came to the kitchen. That’s when things get really interesting. Coz that’s when you start to connect with your inner madness. Welcome to the club, there’s the dish-soap, start cleaning. remember, brush in circles not lines.
