O'England

England sweet be gently proud,

Green forest hills glisten on you like sweat,

Woodland wildlife filled with a flurry of flowers,

Mellow as air; fresh as any bluebell or daffodil, tulip or daisy,

Greenwich meantime as good in night as it is in day;

 Night more ambient than the sun,

 Stars twinkle like the eyes of two star-crossed lovers,

English nightsky is scented with cool rain, 

Morning praise comes in clouds like pillows through sun rays.

Discrimination

Introduction Equality and Diversity and anti-discrimination Law in London, UK, in USA; Europe; Asia; Middle East; Australia; Southeast Asia; and the rest of the world, is hugely important to social progress for the safety of children in the future, and the safety of our modern day thinking.  The understanding of equality and diversity comes 'hand in hand' with knowing what discrimination is, and how we go about creating an equal plateau and platform for people of all different types and backgrounds.  It is  very easy for people to become uneasy  at the sight and thought of different people who are very much unlike them and who live lives very differently to the way they live.  Of course this is very dangerous because it provides people with a self-inner-reason to act out of what it is constituted as normal everyday life behaviour, interacting without a reasonable and justified nature.

Theory of non-violence for Equality and Justice July 2016

Non-violence is a theory and practice rooted in religion and civil disobedience.  The theory or practice of non-violence has long been contested as improbable or impossible, in a global society always in conflict.  Non-violent theorists and believers argue when there is already so much death and blood-shed, the oppressed have found far better solutions found with non-violence.  A large part of non-violent theory originates from the religion of Hinduism.  Non-violence is an internal belief built as a lifestyle choice.  It enables people to understand and appreciate the sanctity of all life, especially human life,  ahisma . Truth-force and love-force and moral-force are the components of  satyagraha,  which means “grasping love and truth” in its literal translation. However its meaning transcends further because of the work of Mohandas K Gandhi.  In 1931 he spoke, “I feel in the innermost recesses of my heart …that the world is...

Paris atrocity we march January 2015

In the wake of the Paris atrocities we should mourn for the dead, and the tragic events which took place, not just in Paris but also in, Yemen, Nigeria, and Pakistan. People march today against hardened criminals, supposedly acting in the name of Allah.   The truth to their reason is a mask or guise, using religion as a vehicle to give their terrorism movement, shifting their clear-cut criminality into something seemingly more significant, perhaps even religious or political.  This consequently could create appeal.    It actually creates religious and social discord, because it acts as a catalyst for the emergence of prejudices, fueling attitudes for terrorism and the desire for anarchy.    Even though there was organisation behind the tragic events which took place, they are still in fact, acts of weak-minded individuals, lacking in an understanding of human love and compassion, because their killings of innocent and...
