I’d rather write than talk. Nobody interrupts! Posting monthly or less now--see below.
My original purpose for this blog, which I started in August of 2019, was to see if I could maintain consistency, to discover what I want to write about, and to find my writing voice. In January, I started a "niche-less" blog at Wordpress.com where I've published weekly. -- Kit’s Kontemplations  .

I'm preparing to start a Catholic blog on Wordpress.com where I'll post weekly, and another site to put the rest of my writing. I also want to spend more time reading other blogs and offering thoughtful comments, both here on WDC and elsewhere. At most, I will publish once a month at no set time in this blog starting in September of 2020.

Thank you to those who have read and rated any posts on this blog. I really appreciate it.

I did NOT want to write “about” me on this blog. I wanted to share my interests, discoveries and maybe a few useful insights. If anything I've written helps even one person, whether or not they respond to the post, then this blog has been successful.

How often have you heard or read: “It may be true for you but it’s not true for me”? This mantra of Relativism states that there is no objective universal truth. This is a self-contradictory statement, (a topic for another post).
Few if any relativists are truly consistent in how they apply their beliefs. To do so, a relativist would have to apply this nontruth in every sphere of life. There would be no universal standards and everything would be permissible. Therefore we wouldn’t need the following professions, practices or institutions.
1 - Police: Anyone would have the right to do whatever they want to do to anyone else.
2 - School exams: Any answer the student provided is just as correct or valid as the teacher’s opinion about what the answer ought to be.
3 - Inspectors in any field: The car owner’s opinion is as valid as anyone else’s about whether his or her vehicle is safe to drive or fit to be sold.
4 - Historians: Beyond a few generations back, I could claim the Holocaust never happened and say to you who disagreed with me: “Don’t impose your history on me!”
5 - Lawyers: There would be no prohibition on, or penalty for, lying and cheating.
6 - Nutritionists: No one’s opinion would trump another’s about whether or not drinking milk will help your bones. Especially in this industry, what was true yesterday is false today and may be true again tomorrow.
7 - Prisons: A rapist could validly claim: “Rape may not be right for you but it’s right for me.”
8 - Unions: Employers could treat their employees as they see fit because there would be no labour standards.
9 - Insurance: There would be no point to buying insurance because the company could use any reason it considered valid not to honour your claim.
10 - Editors: The author’s use of grammar and his or her perception of the facts would be the only necessary criteria for publication.
In preparing to write this, I came across this saying: “Get the facts or the facts will get you. Beliefs have consequences.
What examples can you think of, apart from religion, where ideas have consequences?
