Here we go again: another wave of " pass the buck "  

So, a young parliamentary female staffer who has worked in several positions in high security Parliament House Canberra offices enters a ministerial office after working hours, unauthorised, with a male staffer after a night out. She is discovered by a security officer half naked in the ministerial office and she claimed that she had been raped. But she refused to call the Australian Federal Police and report the matter.

As the world descends into a quagmire of guilt, fear and apologies for things that have offended someone somewhere, I must confess to wondering if our current Governments, media and social media are actually worshipping failure and expecting success.

Good things happen when you do your best. You can only succeed if you TRY. Make an effort. 

Lefties are losers. They lose in life and in their personal relationships and their lives in general. They don't work, or at least, not in meaningful employment. They are normally unemployed or are paid to sponge at a place of work dishing out advice to others on how everyone else should live their lives. 

It is midnight  at the Australian Open Tennis.  The stadium is full of people enjoying a well played exciting tennis match.    They have been watching for hours breathing the same air ,  shouting their  special player on,  all in the same mood enjoying themselves.     Life up until the Tennis started  was one of lockdowns , neighbour sniping on neighbour , police  issuing fines for so called wrong doings.  In other words miserable!

In 1944, George Orwell wrote a letter to a man named Noel Willmett, who had asked Orwell about his views on " leader worship. " Orwell replied with a rather lengthy letter.

The central message he conveyed led him to write his now famous book : 1984. Life in the modern world is all too starkly resembling the world that George Orwell portrayed and President Trump is still fighting Big Brother and Newspeak, The Ministry for Truth and the band of traitors who seek to control us through fear and misinformation. 

Is Trump a fuhrer or a Ghandi? Is he a victim or a perpetrator? 

What have we got today? Friction, Frustration and Futility.  

How far we have fallen.From fun to fear in a few fractured figments of falsehoods. 

It has been a good many years since I read " Crime and Punishment " by Russian author Fyodor Dostoyevsky.  

It is essentially the story of a man who does something terrible, lives to regret it and how WE, as humans, are ultimately responsible for how we live our lives. We may seek redemption but we cannot turn the clock back and undo what we have done. 

All we can do is live with the consequences, try not to repeat our mistakes and hope like hell that those around us cut us some slack if we rectify our behaviour and start being productive members of society.
