I have asked myself this same question for much of my life. But I am not sure that the answer would be helpful or not?

Living with mental illness (my own and that of my husband), I am bombarded with jingoistic slogans like ‘R U OK?’, parroted by gurus of ‘Mindfulness’, and by their minions who wave yellow balloons in my face, or consultants who advise employers to host endless parties, or feign empathy in exchange for docility, or friends who assume we need an ideological revamp. If wellbeing crusaders really cared how we felt, they would be quieter and let us have our contemplation; or ask a complete sentence with rounded vowels, including the last two letters of ‘you’. If a person cannot ask ‘How are you feeling?’ without abbreviating it into an acronym, clearly they have no time to hear us. If we had the power to define mental health, perhaps it would differ from current expectations? Who would the ‘sick’ ones be then?

It is one of the things that keeps me awake at night the suffering of innocent creatures to feed the ego driven need of humans to reproduce themselves with no consideration but ther own desire or ignorance.
We cannot call ourselves civilised while we continue down this path.

If there are thousands of birds always flying about and trying to eat your chips, then how come we never see thousands of dead birds? They don’t have terribly long lives and, in the inner city at least, there aren’t many predators, so where do they all go?

In a university class at the moment I am learning about indigenous land injustice. I came up with this question in a tutorial. History is not objective, and who really shapes it?

This cult film is loved by so many, and yet there are many overlooked ideas in the movie. Did Cameron really make things better with his dad? What’s the deal with Ferris, anyway? He’s so sure of himself, and his parents love him and he can do whatever he wants, and he knows it! Cameron is the real MVP. Recognition is needed.

What we should be doing for our future is important.

It seems weird that both black and white are not actual colours, but black people are referred to as people of colour, which means that white people are assumed to be people without colour.

Do people not know how to carry a conversation between two people any more?

Is there an objective sense of what is moral? Or, does morality only exist in action between people. If you steal a movie online is this OK because no one saw you do it? If people are abused in detention centres is this OK because no one was watching?
