Some say that war is inevitable because someone or some nation will always want more land, more power, that it is human nature to want more.
But those with the power to secure more from others already have more. And let it be clear, it is human nature that must evolve. Enough has to be enough for everyone.
From a balanced perspective, the military leader that invades another country for its resources using advanced weaponry is more of a criminal than the poor man who steals a loaf of bread to feed his family. The already-wealthy that would expand their own wealth at the expense of others are sociopaths. Greed is a criminal sickness.
Until Homo sapiens overthrows its assumption that greed, selfishness, disrespect for others, arrogance, coercion and a whole host of other negative traits combine to make the world a better place for humankind, there will be no balance in the world, no evolution--
Thus Spoke Chorkie Walker.

This photo was taken at a very specific place (as you may determine if you look at the horizon). It was taken in a rush and it was only later that I saw what looked like a face highlighted in the patches of light. If you squint, or view the picture at a distance, the detail on the horizon becomes irrelevant and you might too.
Is it any wonder then, that people throughout history have claimed to seen the face of their god in the heavens and, perhaps owing to some coincidental activity on the planet surface, read this as a 'sign'?
It tells me that every visual phenomena is just a trick of the light according to the receptors in the brain peculiar to the individual, and, by implication, that everything we sense likewise.
The earth's atmosphere is a refractor of the pure light (and other forms of radiation) of the sun, so perhaps everything ethereal or tangible upon the earth is 'lit' by its own receptive frequency of vibration, each a finite (refracted) representation of the sun's (relatively) infinite light.
That which is infinite to us is, by definition, god-like. No personality needs to be ascribed to it for it to be so, for it is hidden in plain sight, available to all, unique and individual to all, everywhere and nowhere.

Welcome to all new followers - this page has never been advertised or shared, from memory, so congratulations on finding it.
Inspired by Nietzsche's "Thus Spoke Zarathustra - a book for everyone and no one", the original idea for this site was in reaction to Facebook pigeonholing. When asked where my "Place of Work" was at the time, Everywhere and Nowhere seemed to sum it up, as I have worked in too many places to list and sometimes find myself without work.
After a couple of years, I was badgered by FB to tell them more about this place that they clearly had no record of, so I opened a page and here it is.
Since then, I occasionally take a photo that could be pretty much Anywhere (on the planet), and post it. The last was nearly a year ago - I've got better things to do.
Then I got to thinking that perhaps Everywhere and Nowhere could apply to other things besides visual images. For example, the coronavirus is currently nowhere to be seen (by the naked eye), but everywhere is affected by it. Facebook is used everywhere around the world but (aside from its corporate offices etc) nowhere on the ground.
So I ask anyone reading this to put forward what they think constitutes Everywhere and Nowhere, either in words, images or anything else - the more unconventional the better.

Psychologists say the emotion of awe plays a big role in our health, happiness and wellbeing. And you don't need to witness a supermoon to experience it.

At some point the smell or the flies will break our denial. But it might be too late, we might be drowning in s**t at that point. Scientists say we have only a decade to stop runaway climate change.
