Relief: A means or thing that relieves pain, distress, anxiety, etc. Whether we admit it or not we are a global family with global family needs. It is estimated that one third of the world’s food supply goes to waste while approximately 9% of the world population is undernourished…
I’m truly perplexed as to whether I should be glad or sad to be a so-called ‘American’? From ChatGPT I asked how many years since my birth in 1950 has the United States been involved in foreign conflicts and the response: “Since 1950, the United States has been involved in foreign conflicts for roughly 70+ of the 76 years up to 2026, including the Korean War, Vietnam War, Cold War interventions, Gulf War, Afghanistan, Iraq, and various smaller operations.”
Resourceful: Able to deal skillfully and promptly with new situations, difficulties, etc. This word is of absolute necessity to understand the 175 year long war between capitalism and socialism/communism. I’m using the 1848 Marx & Engels Manifesto of the Communist Party as the starting point of this incredible controversy…
The German philosopher Georg W.F. Hegel (1770-1831) argued that the course of history is the rational, inevitable progress in the consciousness of freedom.

Confusion: Disorder; upheaval; tumult; chaos; perplexity; bewilderment. Doesn’t sound like a state of being that is attractive, but definitely the one we find our planetary beings in at the moment…
Speechless: Temporarily deprived of speech by strong emotion, physical weakness, exhaustion, etc. I’ve posted daily since beginning this website in early December, but today, Easter Sunday, the word speechless is a perfect explanation for my struggles to write. I walk daily on the Puowaina (Place of Sacrifice) / Punchbowl Crater just above downtown Honolulu…
Earthlings: An earthing is an inhabitant of the planet Earth, typically referring to a human being. It implies a shared, earthly identity and is often used to emphasize our role as residents of this world, or in poetic/literary contexts. So in one way we are all in this together in spite of our differing cultures, ethnicities, skin color, religions, diets, and languages…
I’ve been a Cultural Visionary since becoming radicalized in the summer of 1970 and today is the third anniversary of creating the Share Bliss motto. Extremely frustrated after over 50 years trying to effect social change I finally decided to speak out myself instead of promoting others…
Cocky: Arrogant; pertly self-assertive, conceited. I have to admit that at many times in my life when things were going my way I got cocky. However, invariably things would change as always, and as the saying goes, “again a mouse!’
