This blog is about the human condition and how I see it, with a loving eye. I plan to post (seemingly random) thoughts on social and political issues of contemporary society, my take on education and parenting, and, to leave nothing out, my limited insights into international relations, global environmental and sustainability issues.
The themes span widely because people are just everywhere creating problems, finding solutions, are the target of hostility and interventions. I see all these issues related. Education is related to political awareness, parenting to sustainability, international relations to local communities.
My writing will be incomplete, thought provoking, I hope, critical and outraged at times. But it will not be cynical. I don’t claim to know it all, I will be wrong sometimes. In short, I will write about how I see the world – my point of view, or as I like to say in discussions, “Oh well, this is how I see it.” I invite you to be skeptical and join in on the conversation.

This is how I see it.
