It Ain't Easy To Kill An Octopus..

An octopus in the open sea might seem easy pickings for predators such as

moray eels, sea lions and bigger octopuses, but the octopus isn't quite such a sitting duck.It has quite an armory. It can disorient a pursuer with a splurge of purplish-black ink. If it lost a limb , it can regrow one. And just one thing more, it can change color in split seconds. Octopuses also go all over reefs, probing with their arms for prey in hiding.

In its hiding,an octopus will often lie out of notice,arms coiled, before a tentacle unrolls to snag a passerby with the suckers at the tip. While gallivanting through the oceans , its primary attack posture is to parachute gently down with all eight arms outstretched and scoop its prey in the embrace. Having lashed its victim the octopus holds it against its underside and bites it with a retractable beak. 

Shouldn't you be an octopus amidsts predatory times like today ?

Personal Responsibility

Any time one looks into the papers ,or chances upon tabloid liners ,brings new

grief , a fresh howl , glum or maddening , of a notorious affliction of our times , that we hear much of ,that's weighing down itself upon all of us.To suggest one reason for this anguish obligates bringing up one word :personal responsibility, accountability to or of one's actions and attitudes.The generation today, released from the pressures to be accountable , from the hard days and grim facts that stared down the previous generations has gone on to satisfy its whims and fancies.Unless teenagers today admit to personal responsibility for their actions or what they are driven to do , this generation is going to stagger and swagger towards decay, rot and moral bankruptcy and pawn or lose the very freedoms that earlier generations had fought for, cherished and guarded with their very lives , the succor that those freedoms had been to their growing up.

The berlin walls

The Berlin Wall divided Berlin into two halves during the Cold War. It became a symbol of the helplessness it put and placed families into.The world could only gape on while on either side of the wall families were broken up , severed and left to be devastated .Similar berlin walls have popped up around the world wreaking the same havoc and destruction - tribal killings , job discrimination , human trafficking etc.

But then ,not to overlook, there are berlin walls in one's own life too - the sort that have held and hold you back from being yourself , from being productive , from a happy life.The thing about these invisible berlin walls is they choke and strangle your life the way you'd rather have it and desensitise you , leaving you crippled to self help or self start on ideas that'll give you a leap into the future or to light your own fires.

One berlin wall you should  never ignore ....
