Rob Wheeler thinks about... Misfortune

What are Thought Bubbles?
Thought Bubbles (TBubbles) are short reflective essays
(between 500 and 800 words) on a wide variety of topics by a wide variety of
writers. The sole purpose of TBubbles is to stimulate dialogue, discussion and
debate.
How often are TBubbles published?
We publish about two TBubbles a month. So
visit this site regularly or subscribe by email.
Key features
of a TBubble:
it must be concrete and not
too abstract;
it may take a very personal point of view;
it may be critical, argumentative and/or polemical;
it
will always deal with an issue that is focussed, specific and relates
broadly to our human condition.
Are any topics banned?
Yes. Banned topics include all those ending in:
...ity; ...ism; ...ize; ization; ...ology; ...ment; ..ion
Words of this kind tend to make for very abstract, and consequently woolly
and obscure thinking. In Thought Bubbles we are seeking to promote clear,
considered and, hopefully, relevant reflection. |
