Where will our misuse of our planet take us? The title refers to a time in the not-too-distant future and asks questions about what our future will look like. Also, the book asks what do we truly know about our beginnings on this planet. Do the cycle of birth life and the finality of death apply to the human race, or can we avoid extinction? To what lengths might we go in such an endeavor? What we are learning through scientific advancements suggests that almost anything is possible. We are witnessing science fiction become science fact in everything from automobiles to aircraft, spaceflights, and genetic manipulation of flora and fauna. Will we end up surviving on earth or somewhere else? I hope readers find this writing entertaining and also thought-provoking because only clarity of thought will enable the survival of the human race going forward.

Relationships thrive, promote growth, and expand creativity if problems are resolved in meaningful ways. Opposite of thriving is striving. When conflict is used as a chasm for control over others, violence, threats, and selfish gain, it's harmful to everyone involved. Conflict must be laced with love as in the yin and yang concept. They coexist. While love does not always mean agreement, it is the gateway to compassion and understanding. The interconnectedness of love and conflict is meaningful yet complex in their unique enjoining. Although complex and of sometimes uncomfortable, maximized potential is interwoven in conflict and the struggles of life. It is through the struggle that loves guides one to achievements. Through conflict, love is tested, and commitment is defined.The Power of Conflict is a holistic approach to conflict and dispels the myths that (a) conflict must be hostile, (b) conflict must be confrontational, or (c) conflict must be physical, verbal, and/or emotional aggressive to get what you want.

The information herein will help you (a) become intentional about your decisions, thoughts, and actions, (b) harness your unlimited spiritual virtues, (c) develop inner peace, (d) empower you with traits to build healthy relationships with others, and (e) view problems as an opportunity to create solutions for yourself and the universe. To get you, there are practical skill-building exercises to guide you through each of the twelve commandments for resolving conflict and manifesting your relationship dreams.Lastly, understand that conflict simply conveys it is time for a change. Change is inevitable, so don't be afraid of it. Through change, you maximize your personal power and potential, thereby allowing your brilliance to shine as you cultivate inner peace and intimacy in your relationship.

Charles Haldeman (1931-83) was a man with unusual literary and artistic abilities who sought to identify his and his generation's mission in the world of the midtwentieth century. Charles was born in the Depression; lived six months as a child in Hitler's Germany during the 1930s; grew up in a US Army town during World War II; and traveled, studied, and worked throughout the US, the Pacific, Europe, and Canada during the midtwentieth century.

Paper Tiger is a small concise picture of my thirteen years spent contracting in Iraq and Afghanistan. Starting with securing weapons of mass destruction in Southern Iraq to giving away billions of US tax dollars while leading teams in Hillary's army. This book was written in the most sarcastic manner; as sarcasm was my endurance formula for the incompetence of leadership provided to us in mission accomplishment. If the enemy ever knew how much we improvised and the illusions we created, then we would all be getting our heads lopped off on the Internet.
