Earth Day (April 22, 2022) is a good day for business
While I understand not all are on board with the sustainability agenda, and some like the billionaire Peter Thiel believes that Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) has been forced on us by the government, I am going to argue we should all embrace it as it is good for our lives, and it is good for business. Let’s be clear though, there are both flaws and opportunities in ESG and while regulating markets at time is necessary, we believe in market forces and ethical capitalism to lead the way.

LOOKING AT THE FLAT EARTH ARGUMENT FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE:
An argument that really should not exist… The argument that we as a population should at least be told the truth about where we actually live, not an 'is it' or 'isn't it' situation resembling that age old Chicken or the Egg question!

My undercover genius is a beast.
I cannot stand the mess that Russia has started with Ukraine for absolutely no reason other than wanting to conquer them and shut down their ability to have a democratic type of government. It is unfair, Russia is picking on Ukraine and they need to quit it now! I am guessing that if Russia hits Poland with nuclear material, there will be World War three. The united states may work up a strategy to put an end to it. I guess Poland has a democratic type of government as well.

SALVAGING LIFE
PUTTING LIFE TOGETHER AFTER A STEEP FALL can be undaunting. What to reassemble with is the major and most pertinent challenge. With every important thing torn out from foundation level there is nothing, perhaps, other than a belief, and belief systems come rather cheap now days. What was bred into us from our youth becomes shattered by forced idiom of others pushing their agenda which we need and therefore must adhere to. So many fall from the tightrope of this regime that it seems half the world's population is homeless now or headed there. To recover from having slipped beneath the table where dogs are known to snip and snarl for scraps thrown to them it takes the development of discretion and diplomacy. A bitten tongue now and then can't hurt either. Does it take one too far to see what he once saw as humor on the back of another set upon his own lap and the backs of his family?

Talking Tree’s
Listen to the sound of nature, the echoing in the distance, the low chattering of village people talking, the different sounds of the wind blowing through the night sky. Just close your eyes and think about this - Picture yourself in a world filled with love and peace. Where everyday life problems just seem to work itself out - where birds fly freely, and animals live without any fear of there own. Just think about the different forms of faces that you may be passing right by on a daily basis - Let’s just take the time to breathe in the fresh smell of clean ocean water - as we wonder why does this smell seem so new and different. As all of these things that may seem to be going on we tend to live a life of complete understanding that what we observe as human beings is not a misconception of reality - and that same reality we tend to confuse so easily to believe that our way of living is our best way to live our lives. Think about this for a minute if the same tree is planted right next to each other what would be it’s chance of survival? Tree’s speak to each other, they live off of each, they grow and produce with one another. Tree’s rarely die out, but also tree’s can live a very long time. Have you ever seen the center of a tree - in the center of a tree are circles ranging from small to enormous - those same circles will tell you the age of the tree. People are like trees we grow and age but our aging tends to become visible to the naked eye pretty quickly. We as living beings tend to forget that our own pain and suffering comes from our own life choices, we tend to stick to the beliefs of others instead of finding are own belief system and learning and growing from our own mistakes as well as the mistakes or problems we see others go through on a daily basis. We tend to fall to become our own victim at times, leading us to believe that our lives as a child has everything to do with are lives as a adult. Yea we can easily say we had parents who weren’t the best parents we would have wanted, but let us also try to be mindful who there parents might of been to them as well. Generations of family curse, of lack and knowledge of what proper love is and what is the true defense of caring for someone other then yourself. So going back to the point of how trees talk to each other, and live off of one another, and help each other eat and stay alive. We as people can do the same thing if we just all learn to set our differences aside. We can grow with one another, we can thrive with each other, we can even raise a entire village if we wanted to. All it takes is some simple understanding that we as people will never be exactly a like, we will never think a like, we will never love a like, and we will never look a like. But everything from the inside of our bodies are all a like just like the center of a tree, different shapes,sizes, and length is the only difference between people and trees.Moral of this story is let’s try to live a life like a tree would, so we can all blossom into the human beings we are destined to truly be.
