Plato & The Polite Dictatorship Of Democracy
Dear All, Plato once said democracy is a polite dictatorship. I was just wondering if people on this network have their own views about that statement and how it might apply and not apply to current UK society? I have a hard time with rules - obeying them, understanding and to a certain extent the very nature of them. What…

Disabilities.

Christmas cards
Do you post or give out Christmas cards?. We seem to get people saying "we donate to charity now instead of sending or giving cards". But there are some nice charity cards out there, and you never really know if they give to charity or not or is it another way of saying, we'd rather not have contact with you?.

Artistic artist Nihilistic nihilist Autistic person Please let's not invent terms to describe ourselves. We are not "autistics". It sounds too much like another word we no longer use.

Absurdly, their objection is that (for no justifiable reason) numbers can't be included. They also argue that names must be "pronounceable". I've always…

Breathe with me!
Fear of the unknown is the worst mistake most of us sometimes make, but we're often not the boss of that. It's not our fault. Like cats, we're wired to run from red flags. But we have a choice.

I'm Not Ashamed
I feel as though many people are guarded as to their true feelings, and I reckon this is a barrier to progress. I believe in authenticity, and I can say that authentically I get quite upset when I see things that remind me of the innocence of childhood, such as teddy bears and stuff and stuff that is directly associated…
