Some people have deep connections. Others have not. Deep connections survive about everything. Other connections will (ultimately) fail. My diagram is about the ingredients of such connections, like the how, what, when, where, & who. The presence of ingredients will provide a (good or bad) mix. Most ingredients are from my 2022 blog The 7 elements that define...
Tot voor kort nam ik de Raad van State (RvS) nog vrij serieus. Ik ben echter blij dat minister Mona Keijzer dat niet langer doet en haar wetsvoorstel toch indient. De RvS argumentatie maakte nogal wat (negatieve) emotie bij mij los. De reactie van de minister was echter vrij mild: “Het advies van de Raad van State komt niet onverwachts.

My question above just occurred to me. It relates to the Blueprint of Life, a blog topic since 2015. On planet Earth, Life suggests a blueprint (eg, arms, ears, eyes, head, legs, mouth, nose, spine). Recent news suggests the possible existence of past microbial life on Mars (eg, BBC, Guardian, NASA, Reuters). Nevertheless, Matter (eg, moons, planets, suns), and...

HLN: “niet te weten wie de ‘grootste smeerlap’ in het conflict is". I agree because the lesser of two evils principle does not apply. The entire Gaza Strip "conflict" feels like a reminder of...
Recently, I said to my mother that everything will be alright; in Dutch: "uiteindelijk komt alles goed". It's also a key phrase by Sonny Kapoor (ie, Dev Patel) in the 2011 film The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel: "Everything will be alright in the end. And if it's not alright, then trust me, it's not yet the end." I think, feel and believe that Sonny Kapoor's phrase is...
