Lydia1960's bio
Love creative writing, and reading tales that inspire my endeavours. Being an emotional person, I also get inspiration, on a personal level, from the music of yesteryear, where I can 'lose myself' in the lovely tunes and lyrics conveying the passions and emotions of love. Writ Large. That's the type of thing that thrills me to the very core... -

Government benefit sanctions what are your thoughts?When the society we have to exist in, doesn't meet the basics of care towards its citizens at the 'unfortunate end' of its careless policies, it is not all that surprising when people get caught up in the daily psychological blows that prevent them from having a positive attitude towards life, and to then expect them to uphold the 'rights and responsibilities' that every upright citizen should adhere to, is bordering on the absurdities of life. If society were ever to provide an equal playing field, allowing for everyone to have a healthy psyche and ego, then such 'reprehensible behaviour' as 'dropping out of society' might more readily be deemed a fault in character. As it stands, it is a natural reaction, at a certain level, to the daily onslaught to a person's ego that lowers their expectations and head with despair..ViewDate:

Is political correctness in our modern society, being taken too far or have we got the balance right? What are your views?You seem to have the more measured viewpoint in this matter. It's easy to dismiss political correction as a step towards madness, but unless you've travelled in someone's shoes, you cannot possibly imagine the damage done by 'insensitive remarks, thinking and behaviour'. Unless you are just concerned with protecting your own hinterland, being thoughtful towards another's feelings, and responding in kind to that, should surely be 'hotwired' into our human psyche.. agree, that sometimes this can go to the extreme, but that is usually the depth of someone's experiences that has made them so 'defensive...'.ViewDate:

Hello I am a newbyHi anita888, Like you, I am rather restricted as to travelling around, so am reaching out to the online community to discover some interesting, stimulating discussions. Am a leftie, where politics is concerned, and that seems controversial in itself, in this world, where the media is owned by a very select elite that wants to peddle its own version of life. I enjoy creative writing, and reading, and am determined to try and carve out some sort of living for myself in that line. Perseveration is my name. Music from the 50's to the 90's mostly, with the odd singer of today surprisingly catching my ear with something that sounds fresh.. So, if any of this fires up your interest, then I'd love to get some words back from you on this...? -
