“Have you heard the story where Truth and Lies go for a swim in a pond? Lies jumps out and disappears wearing Truth’s clothes. Since then, Lies masquerade as Truth all over, and Truth is too embarrassed to come out of the pond.” “What makes you think of the parable now?” “Well, I met Truth … Continue reading Meeting Truth
What’s my right and what’s right …by Sadje
This week Reena has given us the option to choose. I have chosen this quote;
Quote
Peter Stewart
➰➰➰
We all talk about ethics
We pretend to be the follower
Of what is right, what is correct
But when it comes to the matter of
What suits us, benefits us we often renege
Demanding our rights, irrespective of the fact
That it sometimes will hurt others in the process
Practicing fair-mindedness in all things
Will result in us all enjoying the benefits
Of what’s right and what’s right for us all

Personal Assistant ….by Jim Adams
If I were an app…. I would track everything for you. I would monitor all of your vital signs, like temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, blood sugar, blood oxygen level, respiration rate, your weight, how long you sleep, and compile a list of everything that you eat. I would monitor all of your exercise and remind you of all of your appointments. You would wear me on your wrist and I could tell you the time, date and weather and also be used as your phone and play any music that you have stored on your song list. I will be able to tell you the contents that you have in your refrigerator and create shopping lists for you. I can tell you when it is time for you to eat and sleep. I could give you a list of things that you might want to watch on TV and…

It’s a matter of ethics ….by Diana Coombes
Ethics is knowing the difference between what you have a right to do, and what is right to do.
Social media can be a brilliant place to be. A chance to keep in contact with loved ones and friends, even though you are not living near each other. However, the other side to that, is the dangerous side.
Not just the fact you can get people, who think they will be able to say what is going on in their minds, without a filter. They can be as rude and disrespectful as they like and nothing is being done by those who own Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
The other is hackers.
Someone I know has been a victim in the last few weeks, and because she owns a business. Not only does this affect her business, but Instagram are doing nothing to help her. We are a small cog in…
