Is God’s Narcissism Responsible For Mass Shootings?

His blessings and curses on the ancient Israelites suggest some psychological issues. And he’s a terrible model of behavior for His followers. — Do the perpetrators of mass shootings have some kind of God complex? I’m starting to wonder. As I write this, it is two days after yet another mass shooting in the United States. This one was at Michigan State University, so it was close to my heart as I live in Michigan. At this moment, there have been 63 mass shootings in the United States this…

My White Person Problems

They’re not huge, but they’re mine. — A few months ago, my husband and I decided to borrow my mother-in-law’s SUV to move our hundreds of books from Canada to Michigan, ahead of our international move.

Just Stop Eating Bread!

That’s easier said than done. I know, because there’s a pizza in my fridge I’m starting to jones on, and it’s only nine a.m. — As a species, humans tend to see solutions to their own problems as possible solutions for the whole world's problems. I’m as guilty of this as anyone. I know that I am healthier when I don’t eat bread or any kind of starch. I glow with health and energy when…

Life has interfered with this plan. — Life felt like heaven. This was supposed to be the summer of my life. I was finally leaving Toronto, a place that I haven’t really enjoyed living in since the 1980s when I was a young university student. We were moving to Michigan. Woo hoo! First of all, my husband and I were fortunate…

A Deep Question I Have to ask Myself: Did I Just Come to Earth for the Food?

Life just can’t all be about sandwiches and chocolate mousse, right? Self-awareness is important, so as my 62nd birthday gets closer, I need to look within. Sometimes what I see isn’t pretty.

Changing My Diet in My Sixties

My favorite nights of the week are taco night and burger night, so I have a long way to go. — Changing your diet at any time is difficult. It seems like you have to learn proper dietetic principles from infancy or forget it; you will be stuck craving all the wrong foods for life. That’s because food choices are emotional. We remember the foods our parents or grandparents gave us…

The Way of Power Politics is the Way of the Chimpanzee

Humanity needs a new playbook. Traditional texts can help us, but we have to read them critically. And knowledge of our history is key. — Will Smith’s Outburst at the Oscars brought the issue into focus. Watching last night’s Oscar show I got to thinking about humanity’s propensity for aggression. I’m referring specifically to Will Smith’s violent reaction to Chris Rock’s tasteless joke about Jada Pinket-Smith’s alopecia.
