Federal Disability Retirement: And then we are gone…

Posted onAugust 3, 2017AuthorFederal Disability Retirement AttorneyLeave a comment

The trailing ellipsis establishes a pause for reflection, and the finality of three periods for an emphasis upon the irreversible nature of the statement. “And then” connotes that something preceded – a lifetime of activities, a century or less of human historicity involving birth, growth, work, struggles, etc. – existed before the conclusion of the life. The “we are” slice of the sentence implies two additional variables: the universality of involvement – an event that excludes no one […] Read More …

Federal & Postal Disability Retirement: The persistent tinnitus of life

Posted onMay 18, 2017AuthorFederal Disability Retirement AttorneyLeave a comment

The root word that contains a valid diagnosis of a medical condition, sometimes comes about gradually, others at a persistent rate of uncommon urgency; and whether by emanation of a serious, primary condition such as Meniere’s Disease, a brain tumor or cardiac elements impacting upon the heart or blood vessels, or mere residuals from a short-lived ear infection, the low, persistent ringing can interrupt and disrupt focus, concentration, attention to detail, and lead to depression, anxiety and panic […] Read More …

Medical Retirement from Federal Employment: Scoffing paradigms

Posted onMay 15, 2017AuthorFederal Disability Retirement AttorneyLeave a comment

Of course, such a title can have a double entendre or duality of meanings – that, in the first instance, the accent is upon the word “scoffing” with a lowering of one’s voice upon “paradigms”, and that would mean: One turns up one’s nose at the very idea of paradigms. Or, alternatively, if both words are of equally monotonous tonal undulations, then it could mean that the paradigm itself is one which scoffs at other paradigms, differing principles or contrary perspectives.

Federal Employee Medical Retirement: Minding the ‘happiness principle’

Posted onMay 13, 2017December 9, 2021AuthorFederal Disability Retirement AttorneyLeave a comment

Is there such a thing? Certainly, enough authors, gurus and faith-healers have claimed it, packaged it and sold it as a commodity to be prepared, marketed and purchased. Somehow, we are all gullible enough to believe in it: Just as sorcerers of old possessed powers beyond human comprehension, so we hold on to the hope that such secrets of soothsayers mixing the concoction in a cauldron of expectations may boil over with fumes and aromas we can smell into oblivion. That secret incantation; those mysterious sequence of codes […] Read More …

Federal Employee Disability Retirement: Those spaces in between

Posted onMay 11, 2017January 5, 2023AuthorFederal Disability Retirement AttorneyLeave a comment

Between each word; separating being from nothingness; that which allows for something is contingent upon the void that distinguishes, and without the lack there can be no substance. Time doesn’t exist without space for movement of bodies of mass; such stillness echoes […] Read More …

Medical Retirement for Federal Employees: The ‘Why’ of life

Posted onMay 10, 2017AuthorFederal Disability Retirement AttorneyLeave a comment

Why do we do that which we do? Do other species engage in such reflective self-assessments, or do they just perform the act without positing the query? Or course, there is the antecedent question of whether the question itself is asked in the linguistic modality which we embrace; or, is there another form of a more subtle nature that other animals correlate and learn from without a long utterance ending with a grammatical interrogative? Perhaps, in the mere instinctive alteration of actions future-oriented displays the capacity of other species to “learn” from past mistakes and potential dangers […]

Federal Employee Disability Retirement: Overload

Posted onMay 3, 2017AuthorFederal Disability Retirement AttorneyLeave a comment

The comparative life is an illusion of sorts; Plato’s theme throughout is established every day, as appearances hide the reality beneath, and the allegory of the Cave – where shadows constitute the seeming truth and the truth appears as hidden seeming – is merely an archaic anachronism that has been vanquished, if merely because no one gives much weight to dead philosophers and nobody has the time for reflection upon questions that cannot provide answers instantaneously, as Google and High Speed Internet have allowed us to become accustomed.

Medical Retirement from Federal Employment: The precarious self

Posted onApril 24, 2017AuthorFederal Disability Retirement AttorneyLeave a comment

Self-preservation is said to be high on the list of instinctive survival mechanisms – that which society cannot “un-learn” because of the inherent nature of such evolutionary entrenchment of DNA-coded characteristics. It used to be that, whether in the mythical “State of Nature” as advanced and envisioned by Locke, Hobbes or Rousseau, or the more fossil-based models as posited by anthropologists, the individual who was widely considered as a precarious survivor was quickly extinguished from the gene pool either though acts of foolish daring or by neglectful carelessness.

Disability Retirement for Federal Employees: Means to an end

Posted onApril 21, 2017December 25, 2021AuthorFederal Disability Retirement AttorneyLeave a comment

There is a difference, with a real distinction, between utilizing a process as a means to an end, as opposed to using people for the same purpose. Such a concept should be a “given” – that logical posit which is unquestionably true, without the likelihood of being controverted, and generally accepted as a foundational principle in a caring society and community. Yet, modernity has contravened such a belief, and truth and falsity have become relative concepts on the pendulum of linguistic elasticity […] Read More …

Disability Retirement for Federal Employees: Loyalties unrequited

Posted onApril 1, 2017AuthorFederal Disability Retirement AttorneyLeave a comment

Like the letter expressing undying love, returned without a forwarding address and stamped with a vengeance with ink smudges unable to erase. Of course, such imagery is likely to be a puzzle and an unknown quantity for most, as no one writes letters, anymore. What would be its modern equivalent? An email returned, a text message ignored, or a Facebook request blocked? Loyalties, on the other hand, are a funny thing; if left unspoken and implicitly assumed, each party to the “agreement” of loyalty can walk about with differing perspectives and alternative understandings.
