Power, Politics, People
Posted: October 30, 2022 Filed under: Writings by one ambidextrous... Leave a commentThe right to immoderate use of power
Bestowed upon parties by the public –
Which credulously disregards unbiased observations and revelations of historical outcomes
In favour of theoretics with no basis in reality –
Leads to acts of political expediency…
The tools of despotic rulers
Who understand that what is necessary and useful
Is not always what is virtuous or principled
And so violence, bribery, and deception they employ
Any means necessary
While the subjugated engage in moonshine
Tippling and gambling
And living on hopes and memories
They didn’t even have any input in contriving
The Promise of Commerce
Posted: August 25, 2022 Filed under: Writings by one ambidextrous... | Tags: business, commerce Leave a commentIn a business world where raising money is celebrated more than making money; sustainable enterprise modelling is often negated. The result – a still inchoate society, awash with entities with no commercial viability.
Rate of Progress is Risk Relative

Aggrandize not economize
Flip not save
That way, you may just be able to protect your purchasing power

An Odyssey For All Eternity
Posted: April 8, 2020 Filed under: Writings by one ambidextrous... 5 CommentsIn times like this
One can’t help but agree with Livy
That the most stable & long-standing empire is that in which subjects take pleasure in obeying
This appears to be the state most citizens of the world are in
Or at least it seems to me
That we care very little for civil liberties
Only when it serves our egos and imagery
On social media – feeds full of trivialities
On the telly – doomsday bulletins, crisis after crisis
On computer screens – conspiracies about digital IDs and 5G…
Reminds me of that 80s film They Live
Most things considered and in all seriousness
One can foresee those who live into the future say, or their offspring hear/read
That once upon a time there was a phenomenon called covid-19
But hardly did society stop to think
That perhaps as part of the great odyssey we call existence
Our collective consciousness is, as history has time and again revealed
Shaped by desires common to all humanity – fundamentally
Whether that be greed or a propensity for logical fallacies
Our impressionable human qualities, abilities and sensibilities
Have made us the most sophisticated of all the species
If human assessment is anything to go by
Yet, to the rest of nature we just might be
The most disruptive force there is or ever was
For all eternity
in the beginning is truth
Posted: February 9, 2020 Filed under: Writings by one ambidextrous... 1 CommentGrasping truth is the easy part
Because truth speaks to nature
And all things are of it
Accepting implications of said truths however
Demands more than a change of feelings
It requires discarding old ideas around perceived stature
It prompts new beginnings
Good Stuff
Posted: January 12, 2020 Filed under: Writings by one ambidextrous... 3 Commentsgood credit begets goodwill and therefore keeps one in good standing
it’s a show of dependability that dresses up future uncertainties
good merit warrants good understanding
it’ll transcend a bestower’s affinities if the performance upon which it’s conferred addresses difficult challenges
a good marriage like any business arrangement will last as long as it maintains mutual benefit
it’ll survive tides high and low if partners through the swings can still live out their romantic fantasies
a good cause is devoid of miscarriage of justice and often needs no defending
it garners the support of citizens as long as it doesn’t exploit the public’s proclivity to promulgate charitable activities

On impetus
Posted: October 15, 2019 Filed under: Writings by one ambidextrous... Leave a commentInspiration comes from within and motivation from influences outward
So we ought to find first our highest values before springing into action
In order that the pursuit of purpose is held in high regard
That way we can move in the right direction
Inspired and motivated to work hard
Growth Synthesis
Posted: September 18, 2019 Filed under: Writings by one ambidextrous... Leave a commentCommitment to creativity can help overcome inaction and passivity
But it is discipline that builds courage and confidence in one’s abilities
Likewise, drive and determination can boost productivity
But it is the dedication to progression that often transforms entire industries
Of Action & Condition
Posted: September 17, 2019 Filed under: Writings by one ambidextrous... 2 CommentsSatisfaction is felt in the momentary negation of future expectation
And elation comes from instant appreciation not tomorrow’s benefaction
A nation’s joyous celebration shouldn’t be reserved for conquest and annexation
But experienced each time fair concessions are entered into with other sovereign nations
Effective action is full of conviction and devoid of hesitation
While the best communication is unhindered by limitation in comprehension
