Comeuppance: Lo que has quardado: A punishment or retribution that one deserves; one’s just deserts

The whole incentive to on-line journaling is to communicate items which one hopes will be of value to others. To that end, the most important items in life have been assigned a category: living; technology; justice; news; and uncategorized. Love is maybe the critical element that makes all the preceding possible: but love is something I am not comfortable writing about from a personal perspective.

May the contents validate or edify where you are and what you do; if they do not do that, may it challenge you to ask why injustice, why technology, why ignorance, why newsworthy, why uncategorized. Simply, may it remind you that WHY is the most powerful engine for change.
