Do you think a plan, a glorified blueprint, can liberate man from his bondages, making him happy? Must he not exert himself to extricate himself from his own self-enclosing limitations and hindrances? He has created his own sorrow, and he alone can transcend his own creation. The means, the technique, to realise the eternal is to comprehend and master himself. Self-knowledge cultivates right thinking, and this knowledge is not to be bought through the worship of another, or through the authority of another, or through any ritual or prayer; nor does it lie in any book or in any church. It is to be discovered and nurtured through self-awareness of your thoughts-feelings. It is a strenuous ‘path’ to walk, and though there be many signposts, each must discern, with heightened intelligence and watchfulness.

CHILD

Children get a lot of things wrong: they cannot understand all kinds of nuances and considerations that belong to the adult world. But there are also ways in which children know things that adults routinely forget, which is why their perspective deserves to be brought to bear on many of our sharpest dilemmas. To generalise, children tend to care more about love and cosiness than fame and power. They want things to be fun. They are innately very forgiving; they make a lot of mistakes and consider them a natural part of how things go. They’re innocent and tender. They are easily moved. They’re sentimental. They are often attuned to the suffering of others. They can be very caring to those who love them. It can be helpful, when struggling with a dilemma, to ask oneself how a child might see it.

DEATH

The largest, but always easily forgotten, certainty is that all our decisions are unfolding against the backdrop of a giant ticking death clock. We should listen to its beat and take its daunting messages to heart. The thought of Death has a habit of highlighting our responsibilities to ourselves and of weakening our concern for living according to what is expected of us by society. It is a terrifying agent of authenticity. Death may lend us a perverse new sort of confidence to tackle challenges. By frightening us about one enormous thing, it may make us less scared of the many smaller obstacles in our way. Our lives will not be what they could be unless we submit pretty much every choice we face to the arbiter of eternity and oblivion. The thought of Death is the guarantor of the meaningfulness of our lives.

Every human being is wounded both psychologically and physically. It is comparatively easy to deal with physical pain, but the psychological pain remains hidden. The consequence of the psychological wound is to build a wall around oneself, to resist further pain, and so become fearful or withdraw into isolation. The wound has been caused by the image of the ‘me’ with its limited energy. Because it is limited, it is hurt. That which is not measurable can never be damaged, can never be corrupted. Anything that is limited can be hurt, but that which is whole is beyond the reach of thought.

Give themselves raises and cost of living increases....


..raise rents and reduce incomes for the disabled, while implying they are bums who should just get a job despite their disabilities. The MLAs' rent allowance is greater than the entire income of a disabled person, which is now it is to be reduced further. I would like to spit on every single Alberta UCP MLA. Shame shame shame you poor excuses for human beings.

The process of thinking is the way or direction in which thought has been set going: personal or impersonal, individualistic or collective, religious or worldly, Hindu or Christian, Buddhist or Muslim, and so on. There is no thinker who is a Muslim, but only thinking which has been given a Muslim conditioning. Thinking is the outcome of its own conditioning. The process or way of thinking must inevitably create conflict, and when effort is made to overcome this conflict through various means, it only builds up other forms of resistance and conflict. This way of thinking must wholly cease, for it breeds confusion and misery. There is no better or nobler way of thinking. All thinking is conditioned.

Maar laten we wel wezen, Starmer is niet degene die die koers begon. Sinds het uit de weg ruimen van Corbyn was dit de Labour koers. En het is maar de vraag of de opvolger van Starmer die koers echt kan ombuigen, want ook de financiering zit aan die koers vast.

Ook bijzonder hoeveel journalisten schrijven dat Labour twee jaar geleden nog een klinkende overwinning behaalde. In werkelijkheid profiteerden ze slechts maximaal van het meerderheids kiesstelsel en kregen vrij weinig stemmen.

Outrage: FIFA awarded exclusive World Cup Burmese rights to Mytel, owned by junta

Mytel profits help fund the Burmese military and senior members of the Burmese military. Burma Campaign UK has also received reports from local communities that Mytel also plays a role in facilitating internet connections for scam centres in Burma, which not only steal money from people all over the world, but are also linked to human trafficking, forced labour, organ harvesting and funding the Burmese military and armed groups associated with the Burmese military. 

Blij dat de 2e Kamer toch nog wat geld voor Long Covid en andere PAIS patiënten heeft geregeld? Mwa...

3 miljoen om C-Support af te bouwen (in plaats van open te houden!)

Nog eens 3 miljoen om huisartsen (die allemaal zeggen dat ze geen idee hebben wat ze moeten doen) te leren hoe ze zorg aan alle PAIS patiënten moeten leveren.
Terwijl de postcovid expertisecentra dat niet eens weten.

Dat is... 5 euro per patiënt 😡

The Moon and Venus a few hours ago, with my phone:

You can see how the entire Moon is visible actually but a slice of it is directly lit by the Sun so it makes it appear in that particular way to our naked eyes. Super cool.

If you're a person who uses an #AI tool to help you write stuff, and you the " "author" " are not reviewing and revising it, you are the problem with AI tools.

The "it works, who cares" attitude I keep seeing by people I know personally, and who have less #programming know-how than my dumb ass, is why it will take much longer than it likely could for any of these AI tools to be able to do what these sorta folk think they already can do.
