You know it's SUNDAY. We're not in Ireland to welcome the Pope Francis but we have TV and we can see the news and we can see the many loyal Catholic religious Irish people who worshiped the Vicar of Christ. Irish citizens are devoted Catholics since at the time of Saint Patrick 's miraculous driving away the millions of snakes in their country.
It is also a time of mourning for the loss of Sen. John McCain, the end of his long battle with brain cancer. He was a Soldier, Veteran, and a Hero. All Soldiers are HEROES for their sacrifices and their valor and duty to their country and fellowmen. They put their physical bodies dodging live bullets to protect other humans who cannot protect themselves. Yes, you can be a hero just like him if you can offer yourself as a sacrifice. John McCain is a HERO, no doubt about it. He was captured by the enemies during the Vietnam war but who cares? He was Missing In Action for years and years. Too many MIA during the war. You don't know what the enemies put them into cages, in filthy prisons with rotten rats, crawling cockroaches and rodents and dirty garbage. You were not there to help them. You were not there to cover them from all the torture, hurt and pain. You were just sitting comfortably on your chairs watching news, reading newspapers and you were there hiding while heroes are being killed and savagely tortured until they bled. Be on his shoes. Can you stay alive and survive? Can you fight and dodge bullets, hurts and pains? His life is not a movie. He is not RAMBO. He is not a fictitious character! McCAIN is a real character. He could be the PRESIDENT. His story is not fiction.
GOD BLESS THE HERO, Sen, JOHN McCAIN. Rest In Peace!
What honorable tributes and attributes you can give to your country? What kind of inspiration children can look up to? Can the kids respect and honor your words and action?
Anyway, what problem solving we are up to? Are we to deliberately think DIVERGENTLY or CONVERGENTLY?
Diverge to different tasks and different paths. Off the beaten path. Adding imaginations and inventing new ones. Or we would be satisfied by sticking to the traditional acquisition of knowledge and answer to pure logic only?
Yes, it's me again writing.
Writing is a right and privilege of the few.
