It would be nice to believe in them as being real, soulmates. Reality is that it depends on so many other factors. Probably environment and time.

Are they necessary? To those involved yes and to those outside the loop, they can be cringeworthy or admirable dependent again on many factors.

To deny their existence would be unfair, at the same time to deny that some people are not suited to the role for very good reasons is also a fact that shouldn’t be ignored. I mean President Trump could never be a soulmate, even though he probably would like to think he has the capacity. At critical moments his interest would wane.

And I’m very interested to see what AI generates as an image for Trump’s soulmate ability.

I don’t worry about that far in the future,

The present gives me plenty to suture,

I struggle with vocabulary here and now,

Why worry about a holy cow,

Should I say de nada meaning ” no problem”,

“Of nothing”, I say while spattering guttural phlegm

” Con Gusto” would be much more pleasant,

And I wouldn’t sound like a peasant,

That’s not to say anyone tells me off,

For not sounding like a toff,

Would it be nice if everyone spoke the same,

No that really would be quite insane,

Nuances, subtilties even meaning,

To lose any of that would be demeaning,

So plodding on to meet my end,

Let’s hope uniqueness we do defend,

Let’s not all become homologous,

Because it really does not suit us.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏

Of course I must and I think I do,

Is that a sentence or a billet- doux?

I’ll leave that decision up to you,

You see less is more,

Is a phrase I adore,

Whether it’s right or is a crushing bore,

For who am I to decide the fate,

Of those who can’t resist the supermarket wait,

To queue for things and thus be late,

Late home, Late for Work or lose their place,

It’s adding stress to an addictive pace,

They are happy though to win the race,

I for one will avoid,

Purchasing that new android,

A robot, a phone admittedly the idea I’d toyed,

Amazon I searched and the Which magazine,

The possibilities seemed obscene,

Then I decided I’d just be mean,

Overly consumptive is a dying trend,

But where will all this misery end,

With no economy the Politician’s fate will be a bell end.

We seem to have a great capacity to put people off reading. There are two instances that come to mind, firstly when I said to my mum about one of the Bronte sisters books that it was worth a read and she really enjoyed it and also to my brother when I said that the Glasgow Herald was a good read, and he said that he really enjoyed the process of reading it, having never read a “serious newspaper ” before. Subsequently neither continued with something that they had really enjoyed , because perhaps they were bombarded by so many other pieces of writing.

My point being that there is so much printed material out there and just to pick up a book is a real achievement. Good or Bad books we are never really “finished” with them. We get something from every piece of written material we look at , sometimes it is just our critical thinking that comes into play or on others we are totally blown away by the tome.( and that is a good feeling.)

I suppose writing lists and analysing the affect that a book has had on you is of value, if you like lists and talking about books.

I however, know that all the books I read affect me and have value ( some more than others). I always worry that I’ve missed something, perhaps skimmed something and always find a second read unearths new things. My view is I’m never really finished with a book, even the bad ones.
