Sense of culture in men- not non existent

Do you know what women think when they see or hear the man speak about culture? What will be your first reaction when you come across a bold online advertisement highlighting the importance of pe teacher training? Your first reaction will be that the advertisement is not complete. In the same way, the first reaction that women show when they hear a man speak about culture is disbelief followed by a suspicion that something is not right somewhere.

Man’s words about culture are usually accompanied by disbelieving laughter from women

The science trap

Reading about Quantum Physics and the way the world works on a scientific – or even smaller – level, it’s very easy to become first confused and then disenchanted about life. First you might think How can a table be rock solid when it’s actually made up of lots of little things which aren’t really even solidly connected? And secondly you might ponder ever setting foot outside your door again, as the risk of a black hole opening up is so enormous (and it truly, genuinely is. I’m not just being dramatic – science says it’s possible!). Yet we do, every day, so what does that tell us about our race? It tells us that we’re optimistic, is what! But here’s the thing: get too close to science and you’ll stop enjoying and appreciating life. So is it any wonder that scientists seem to be perpetually thinking (and some not appreciating life like the average night-clubber)? Probably not. After all, on the level they see the world at, there’s an awful lot to think about.

…life is too short to be worrying about the little things and even some of the biggest questions…

Learning through farming

Growing up where I did, I was lucky; I lived near woodland, and farmland, and if I ever wanted to go and stroke a pig or watch a cow pumping milk out, I could just walk down the road. This made me very aware of many things which modern city-living-youth probably don’t get to witness or see: I got to see what work was from a young age, and realised how important farming and agriculture is in the grand scheme of things, no matter where we live.

One thing which I learned early on was that fuel is expensive. My friend’s dad was the farmer in our village, and he was always going on about how much Red Diesel Nottingham charged him every time he filled his tractor up. We always used to laugh at him and run off and do our thing, but as the years went by we understood that actually, money was quite a big deal. We knew this because we were starting to earn a little bit of money and it really wasn’t going very far…

learning about fruit and meat and veg is something that can be applied to other things, too

The Christian Laws

It has been a challenge for me to explore the legal principles that guide people’s lives and I found quite a lot of resemblances in our laws and the Bible texts that convey the meaning of being a Christian. From a pure scientific interest, I have concluded that most of the laws nowadays originate from the perception of mankind of what is wrong and what is right as described in the Christian texts in the Bible. In any dimension, from economic to social implications, religious texts seem to convey the same message as modern day laws.
Definitely, not many people have considered thinking on the subject. Currently, economic circumstances are such that people rather think about hybrid cars UK companies offer rather than making some grand statements about how our laws originate from the Biblical texts. However, it is quite evident that many legal concepts are adopted consciously or unconsciously from the religious writings about the life of Christ.

Firstly, purely social aspects can be found. Death penalty is an extremely rare occasion in Europe which corresponds to the main idea that God gives life and he is the one to take it back. The same principle applies to laws concerning murder and manslaughter levels. Theft and burglary are widely described in the Bible and we all know from common knowledge that such actions were known and punished under the laws of Christians. The fact that many of the legal systems in the world correspond to the Christian laws adopted in ancient Rome is evident that Christian principles are embodied within all countries in Europe.
Even paying taxes and fraud are described in the Bible where it has been described that lies concerning the possession of men is immoral and where it has been indicated that the desire for money might inevitably lead to committing a moral wrong.
So the conclusion is that no matter whether we are true believers or whether we are simply interested in Christian religious texts, our European legal systems have incorporated early moral teachings from the Holy Book of Christians.

Phoning All Artists

Art comes in many forms, but even I didn’t expect mobile phones to be such a huge purveyor of it.

Reading the Mail Online (I know, shoot me) there was a simply fascinating piece on phone art. David Hockney an artist living in London, has been using his iPhone to create mini masterpieces for his friends, family and paying clients. They are not shabby paintings either. An application on the phone allows the user to treat the phone as an easel, painting and drawing in exactly the same way you would use a brush or pencil. As he takes his phone with him when travelling as well, he is able to send the paintings directly to his clients or family via the internet.

The advent of phone art shouldn’t really be that much of a surprise as since the first mobile phone was released, colours, shapes and styles have all been a big part of the success of the industry. Indeed you can still get illustrated covers for your phone or even do your own design, personalising your handset instantly.

Phone art has become a big thing and I fully intend to try it myself, though I do recommend investing in low cost roaming for your phone if you wish to send pictures to friends and family whilst you’re travelling. Until I make it big, I cannot afford to pay exorbitant prices on sharing my paintings with the world when I upload them to the web or send them over email.

Should bartering come back?

The more I learn about money and how we use it, the more I begin to think that we should go back to the ways of the olden-days: bartering and exchanging goods for goods. Here is why I think this would be better than continuing to use money:

1) It would be more fun.

2) More people would get more exercise, what with all the carrying things everywhere all the time.

3) Digital things would die out and humans would become more focused on interacting.

And those are just a few reasons off the top of my head. I’m sure if I gave it some serious philosophical thought I could come up with many more.

Another thing, of course, is that the playing field would be levelled. Suddenly, those who were no good with numbers would be in with as much of a chance as those who were gifted. And more so, this might help to eliminate the problems poor people face. All in all, it couldn’t be anything but good, right?

Well…almost right. After giving it some thought I’ve realised that actually, implementing this might be harder than I first thought. Mainly because we have the infrastructure for money now, and if it vanished overnight it would all go to waste. Now, that wouldn’t be a good thing – even I can see that.

Hopefully, in the future, Heavy Haulage and the pop industry and everything that relies on money will calm down and money will become less important. I am not holding my breath for that however…

What makes a man?

As stated in the “About me” bit at the bottom of this page, I don’t perceive myself to be anywhere near the man that the great Leonardo was. But there again? I started to think, how do you judge a man?

This is a tricky question if ever there was one…do you judge a man on looks, talents, abilities, social standing, kindness, compassion, or capacity to love? A man may be extremely talented, but if he is unkind with it, does that make him better than the slob who has lived in lofts east london all his life but who can draw amazingly? I am not sure. After all, there are two kinds of great, at least: the great that is a fact (good at drawing), and the great that over-rides all other traits, such as nastiness, etc…

Apparently, but for me the jury is still out. I’m just not sure anymore if a man who rescues 20 orphans from a fire before going on to murder his wife is so great after all.

I say all this because there is now, more than ever, pressure to be great. Not only that but standout talented. The strange thing is, though, that as revered as this is, society in general still refuses to award the talented: this is why the bank manager who earns 100 thousand pounds a year is hated yet does well, while the artist who paints wondrous pictures earns a 10^th of that if he’s lucky, but is thought of as immensely skilled by almost everyone he meets.

What’s the answer to the greatness conundrum? I don’t know. All I know is that I can only do my best, and that’ll have to be good enough.
