Boat names got me thinking
The other day I took a morning walk down by the docks and while looking at the commercial fishing boats, the names of a few of them caught my eye and got me thinking, and that lead to this post which I will make a Thoughtful Daily post which is hosted by @wesphilbin
I am still keeping with a mostly Mono Monday theme with the photos though
Starting with this boat the INJUSTICE

First off you may not this one is not all mono, the Little Irishman I let keep his green outfit.
INJUSTICE
Injustice is a word that seems t come up a lot these days, and from my travels over the years I have truly seen injustice in all kinds of forms, from wars, genocide, ethnic cleansing etc etc I could go on and on and tell stories of what I have seen, but thats not for today
now the definition of the word is
lack of fairness or justice.
"the injustice of the death penalty"
an unjust act or occurrence.
plural noun: injustices
"brooding over life's injustices"
And when I read that I got thinking about the second definition Brooding over life's injustices.
and that I seem to see a lot of going on these days brooding or complaining about perceived or real injustices, but I am a great believer in a very simple concept, namely;
If something is bothering you, ask yourself one question, can you do anything about it?
If so then do it, if not let it go and move on.
Which then make sone look more deeply about the question, can you do anything about it?
Now for many its all to easy to say, ohh well nothing I can do about it and move on, but I also believe often that's not the case, it may be perceived that we can't do anything, and yes probably individually we cannot make changes that will have an impact, but if everyone takes that attitude then nothing will change, but if many individuals decide to do something, whether it be a seemingly small step, that may lead to others doing the same and momentus grows the power of one becomes the power of many and change can come about.
Now for each and every situation the what can I do will of course be different, and perhaps some of the other boat names in this post will lead me to other thoughts, but let me just touch on injustice.
What can we do when we see an injustice happening, whether in a small local setting say you see a case of bullying, if the situation is one where you feel safe saying something to the one doing the bullying, then have the fortitude to do so, or in a bigger way when its some law or ordnance at a city, state or country level, then you may have other options to follow up and highlight your concerns.
in a way I am sanding don't negate the strength of many, if one person sees you doing something that may agree and join and it could then grow exponentially.
Look at it this way a drop of water is kind of insignificant, but then they come together in a stream or river and form into a waterfall, look how both beautiful and powerful that is!
now the next photo shows two boats the Heckler and the Endurance

Heckler
a person who interrupts a performer or public speaker with derisive or aggressive comments or abuse.
My personal experience is, most hecklers I have seen and all about feeding their own Ego and being load and often obnoxious craving for attention and often do not achieve much
Instead of heckling it is more effective to engage in civil and thoughtful discussion
Endurance
the fact or power of enduring an unpleasant or difficult process or situation without giving way
In these challenging days caused by the Pandemic, the global economy concerns and the impact of both of us, I think we all need to practice endurance staying positive and focusing on the good around us and trying to make the most of life even in challenging times

Perseverance
persistence in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success
My thoughts are similar to what I said about endurance, we need to stay strong and keep on keeping on, and part of the way to do that is to focus on the things you can do, don't let you drag yourself down focusing on what you cannot do for whatever reason
and next up the Boat never Enough

Never enough, if your always focusing on what you want but do not have then you will fall into the thought process that life is tough on you there is never enough of this or that, and it becomes almost an obsession, so much so, you fail to see the good all around you.
I like to look at never to much rather than never enough
Never to much beauty to see when out walking
Never to much quality time spend with family etc etc
and to finish off this post the boat Resolve

Resolve can be said to mean
A firm determination to do something
And I think Resolve ties in to all my thoughts about, for me I resolve to be focusing on the good and beauty around us, do what I can to tackle the bad, and not spread the bad, instead spread and highlight the good
And that’s all folks

To me these are weird names for boats, but I haven't had to name a boat yet, although I would rather give it a real name like my wife's name 😉
The weirdest name to me would be Injustice - I wonder what might have been the reason for this name, and somehow the white colour was also unfair by running down.

STOPThat an emotional boat name...
This is a really cool post, love how you get philosophical about the names of the boats and explain how you feel.
So true, because sometimes it just causes us anxiety and upset when we feel powerless to change. But as you said, all those drops in the ocean matter, so we have to think about that as well.
It’s not to often philosophical 😂
But on the odd time something comes to me
Have a great day
Such a fun post @tattoodjay 😁😎 what a names you found.
So cool… and all have a certain meaning. Thanks for including them 😁
Have a wonderful Monday today 👋🏻☀️💃🏻
Thanks a bit if a change for me being more thoughtful in a post lol
You to have a good day and week
It is good to change it up a bit… for me I see no problem in that. As your followers still want to see it all 😉🤓
You are welcome 🤗 thank you so much @tattoodjay 👋🏻☀️
Hello dear @tattoodjay !
Very creative what you have done with your pictures and the meanings of the ships you have found.
Many times we can find out there things that go unnoticed and if we dig a little further we can discover different meanings and above all it can lead us to think, which is a good exercise.
The photos always have your great personal stamp which makes them unique.
Big hug!

Nice shots, those names really have some power to them in making one think and consider both the meanings of the words as well as the story behind why each name was chosen.
Thanks
Often boat names are ladies names so I did find these ones intriguing
You can find a lot in a name..😊👍
True enough
Have a great day
Thanks so much 👍😎👍
