RE: Papillon took two Hive members on a tour.

Always a pleasure to have you guys around, and I am glad that you and your lady enjoyed the tour. On your next visit, we will also show you some other areas where Papillon is active, and I am sure that you will also enjoy it. You guys understand the dire need in the country, and we never know what the future holds for all of us. So. we just keep on plugging gaps every day.
Thank you again for the visit.

!PIZZA and !LUV.

fermentedphil, papilloncharity sent you LUV. 🙂 (1/10) tools | trade | connect | daily

Just keep jumping, as my grandmother always said! We can only do what we can do, and by stopping we will forfeit a better and richer future. Small incremental changes always lead to something better in the future. With our uncertain future in this country, we can only try and be positive and bring about change where we can. Always an inspiration to see your projects! Looking forward.

Your grandma was right, and you are also right, as one cannot just let up and stop. Small incremental changes will certainly build up to much bigger things eventually.
So, we shall see what the future holds, and when the time comes that you are ready, we will walk the road together.

I am so sorry for only responding now. I managed to finish the first draft of my PhD, and it took quite a lot out of me. I am hovering close to that burnout zone, as I got a stomach bug as well now. I am definitely taking the weekend slow.

Just keep jumping, even in my own case! That is the only thing we can do at this stage.

I am looking forward to it. I am going to have some meaningful discussions with various philosophers in the coming months, trying to get philosophy out of the academy to the lay public. This might also be of interest to you and in our future meet ups.

Great that you finished it, and not good news about the stomach bug. We also had it and it was a very painful struggle. Stress doesn't do wonders for it either, and you have to be very careful of burnout, as it is always a worry.

Now Dr. Phil, no philosophical lessons for me, as I am half mad already, but if you need a sounding board, then I am your man !LOLZ

If I can only keep it at bay for a while. There are so many opportunities, and you need to say no to some of them and take others. I managed to get the marking job for UNISA, I cannot remember if I told you about it with our last visit? And I am going to present a couple of articles this year again. So hopefully I can just keep the total burnout at bay. I am counting on my youthful brain.

I will let you know how it goes. Sometimes madness is the door to greatness haha.

A good idea to keep it at bay my friend. Yeah, I remember that you mentioned the UNISA job and so congratulations. Soon you will be completely familiar with the article presentation system and just maybe you will again have a few winners.

Yep! Let me know!

!BEER

I am so sorry about this almost two-week delay in response. I also almost did not post anything. It seems like time management just flies out of the window in crunch times haha. I am flying to Pretoria at the end of the week, and I still have so many things to do.

Life waits for now one right?

I will let you know how things go! I am having a lot of beneficial conversations with some big names in philosophy and other areas of academia. They seems to like my work. There is also talk about beginning an association for philosophical counselling in South Africa between other big philosophers. So, there is some light in the tunnel!

I hope you are doing well?
