OK sometimes I get crazy finding words to use in these posts but this one is a ringer. I’ve done this many times but in the line of duty. These people can cause you a world of misery depending on what you’ve done. I’ve seen it happen more and more in my former career. Anyway I bet you’re wondering what (an’te mo ma’zhe) is … The use of an title in place of a name, as calling a judge ‘his honor’. Don’t stand in front of a judge defending you actions. Don’t let it get that far. Do your job right and you’ll avoid this?

Now that was a mouthful to say I bet ya. Anyway this is a theory that runs along with a book that was popular a few years ago. It had an impact on me and I bought the book, video and CD. But I guess you want to know the meaning of (ne ses’e ter’e en izem) the theory that every event, including any action of the human will, is the necessary result of a sequence of causes; determinism. That was a mouthful in of itself.

Did you hear about the guy who was in a bar about as drunk as it's possible to get?

A group of guys notice his condition and decide to be good Samaritans and take him home.

First, they stand him up to get to his wallet so they can find out where he lives, but he keeps falling down.

He falls down eight more times on the way to the car, each time with a real thud.

After they get to his house, he falls down another four times getting him to the door.

His wife comes to the door, and one guy says, "We brought your husband home."



The wife asks, "Where's his wheelchair?"

Not to say that I never have done it you know I have. I think everyone has done this in one way or the other. There are of course those types of jobs where you do not have the opportunity to do this. My wife for example when she was working for a large place there were just too many eyes for her to accomplish this. The meaning of (e kum’bent) lying down. So did you ever lie down on the job and maybe grab you a few quick z’s? As my AR friend Michael would say inquiring minds want to know.
