Besieged on both sides

Other symbols of righteous anger are available

Quite a personal blog post this in many respects; but I hope to illustrate a wider political point and not cross the road into self indulgent whinging.

On being told to be happy.

An external speaker came in recently to tell us how we could be better and more effective people by being happy. I'm a big believer in perspective and being genuinely happy as much as possible. I tend to think that nothing is ever as bad as you think it is when you are in the middle of it. Or, as I sometimes say ‘it’s hard to see the shape of a thing from inside the thing’. Trying to be genuinely happy as much of the time as possible is good for you, good for those around you and… just easier.

The Prisoner

Apparently I remembered I have a blog, and picked up my notebook to draft a post. Inside those pages I found a blog post I had previously drafted out. I have no idea why past Phil decided it was not worthy of publication, but I'm pulling rank on that guy. He knew nothing.

I figured it was about time that I wrote something pertaining to Cult TV on this thing, as it is right up there in the description line.

The prisoner is one of those rare TV shows which made me grow a little in the watching. It got me thinking along lines which got me brought me to rest at my current political views.
