What was I thinking ???

Well. It's been a long time once again.

I've returned to posting again because of another blogger that uses this site, Craig Harper and his website, craigharper.com.au.

I've re-read the last post I made here and as the title suggests, what was I thinking???.

I don't think the sole commenter to that post was very far off the mark in many ways, although I think the approach was very similar to my own, but regardless of that, the sentiments were, I suspect, generally pretty accurate.

The question was asked, "What harm does it do to me?" and while I disagree with any religion that is the basis of conflict, it's a valid question. The answer of course is none and for that reason, I will refrain from that type of post.

There is no value in it. It is negative and helps no one, including myself.

I have every intention of following the advice of Craig.

In the past, I have done the same thing and got the same results. What a surprise !
And while making lasting and meaningful change is difficult for some, not to do something different is at the very least, a pointless exercise.

To quote Albert Einstein (and contained in a recent post of Craigs)

"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

While I suspect I may have a degree of insanity :-), given previous posts, I have no intention of giving in to this particular brand of insanity.

As my wife (a most wise woman) pointed out. Life is too short.

I have no way of knowing whether I will post regularly, but if I do, then I hope they will be helpful to others. They will certainly be positive.

Thanks Craig
