Have you noticed that people don’t start life until very late these days? By the time their grandparents were their age that earlier generation had built a career, raised children, taken responsible roles in church and community and gained maturity from each of those ventures.
Today, however, adults are still locked into the insecurities of youth: [...]

The skinny weakling staggered before the hulking thug. After several knock-out blows that had sent the upstart to the hard floor of the ring, it was a miracle the bony stripling could move at all, let alone dance to duck the next lethal blows. The jeering, cheering crowd urged their hero to finally finish the [...]

In an earlier lesson, Logophile on Law, I explained that there are various types and levels of law which impact us. Not all laws are equal, even though we call them all “laws”, and so it is important to understand the various types of laws and which ones apply to us.
This lesson jumps into the [...]

So, what is it that causes such social dissolution? What is it that holds societies together, so they don’t collapse? How can we best protect [...]

Some people come under the penalty of law, when the “law” used against them was not [...]
