Rob-erbs

Rob-erbs or Robert’s Proverbs is a condensed or shortened version of my Rantings and is basically a collection of my own personal sayings, one-liners and food for thought. It doesn’t take reams of paper to get a simple message across!

Stuck between a rock and a hard place

Papua New Guineans find themselves stuck between a rock and a hard place. Compassion, integrity and strength – inherent qualities of the traditional tribal leader

Sodoma and Gomorra

I have noticed during the relatively short time that I lived and worked in PNG that when people discuss corruption and other issues relating to failed progress that the finger of blame almost certainly gets pointed

Sergeant Hans Schultz

I see nothing! I know nothing!!

The intensity of it all

Amidst the depth of frustration, uncertainty and overwhelm there rises a sense of fulfilment, belonging and purpose like I have never experienced before. Although the future remains elusive there is comfort in knowing that true spirituality lies in the direction of unknowing-ness.

Modern day slavery

Papua New Guineans have become slaves within their own country. When are they going to stand up and say enough is enough!!

Working oneself to death

it worries and frightens me when I hear folks say that they have put their retirement on hold and have decided to work for another three years to make up for last years financial crash. What will these people do in five years when there’s no superannuation left to collect keep working until they drop?

The definition of politics

Politics:from poly – meaning many and tic (s) – a parasitic blood sucking insect.

What does it mean to be “politically correct”?

“Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end”.

Another weekend bites the dust

unbelievable the speed at which time has a habit of flying. The days turn into weeks, the weeks into months, the months into years and before you know it grey hairs start appearing, reading glasses become a necessity and aches and pains creep into body parts that one never knew existed.

Is more religion the answer for PNG?

if more religion, more Jesus and more Bible were the answer to PNG woes then PNG would have reached super-power status years ago. The cause of PNG’s issues lies elsewhere – perhaps there is no solution only time.
