Vivaldi translation: ”Be an acid critic. But, a critic who awakens not only the conscience of the other, but helps him to judge things in a different way. Exactly, serve as a boost for those who need to doubt. If the answers in general seem insufficient, help him to doubt.

Whoever questions does not accept everything quietly.”

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

” Seja um crítico ácido. Mas, um crítico que desperta não só a consciência do outro, mas o ajude a julgar as coisas de um modo diferente. Exatamente, sirva de impulso para aqueles que precisam duvidar. Se as respostas de modo geral, lhes parecem insuficiente o ajude a duvidar.

Quem questiona, não aceita tudo calado.”

Veil

normabobb

Veil and evil consists of the same letters. Being veiled hides who we are and being evil reveals how monstrous we are. In our interactions with others we should ask ourselves: Are we wearing a veil or are we an evil person. Owning who we are is the first step towards casting off the veil and exposing our character. We can’t fix what’s wrong with us if we don’t look at our behaviour.

Random Thoughts From A Bouncy Mind

Filosofa's Word

Just a few thoughts from the bouncing mind inside my head …

I had to laugh when I read in a news aggregator that with both Senate and House back in chambers, we should prepare for what “… could be a frantic couple weeks of legislative action.”  Legislative action???  In today’s inert Senate???  Who do they think they’re kidding?  The most action we are likely to see from the United States Senate in the coming weeks are them posturing on various news shows and faux news shows to trash talk the other side.  If any meaningful legislation comes out of the Senate anytime soon, I will be in shock.

The Senate has been discussing the infrastructure bill for months now.  It is allegedly now a bi-partisan bill that the Republicans insisted be pared down from its original status, but even then, it doesn’t have enough Republican support to overcome…

Rutas de un viajero. Capítulo XV. El Sagrario, rincón pintoresco e irrepetible de Pátzcuaro

How wondrous. Imagine what all this looked like when just finished – magnificent!

Parece un dibujo de ensueño, un trazo distante, una pintura plasmada en el lienzo añejo que reposa en el sótano de las añoranzas y los recuerdos, en algún rincón del mundo, en un espacio cautivante y mágico, donde cada detalle se transforma en arte, partitura, boceto, poesía, porque para los otros, los de entonces, los moradores del Pátzcuaro de las horas coloniales, su pueblo representó la casa, el refugio, la morada, la página en la que diseñaron y protagonizaron los capítulos y las horas de sus existencias.

Desde la hoja que se desprende del follaje y mece el viento suavemente, hasta el cielo que hospeda nubes rizadas que cambian sus formas, transitan fugazmente y reflejan su coquetería en el lago legendario, donde las islas, el tule y las garzas coexisten, el escenario se presenta magistral y extraordinario para enmarcar…

The Argument about Booster Shots

CRAIN'S COMMENTS

The purpose of a vaccine is to keep a person out of the hospital. Defined that way, current Covid-19 vaccines are quite effective. The people being hospitalized now are those who chose to avoid vaccination rather than those who were fully vaccinated. That remains true for the Delta variant. The Lambda variant is in South America and hasn’t migrated, as yet. (Yes, it exists and large population of unvaccinated people will be breeding groups for new varieties.)

So what about booster shots?

The case for boosters is simple.

  1. We don’t know how long the vaccines work. Better safe than sorry.
  2. If you had no major reaction to the original shot, you’re highly unlikely to react to a repetition of that shot.
  3. People have gotten booster shots with no issues.
  4. In fact, the annual flu vaccination is basically a booster shot against the flu. Boosters are in fact what we are…

Wondering Wednesdays, Baby Acres, Chapter 2: Infrastructure, with words!

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

This post starts the rough draft of  Chapter 2 of my non-fiction WiP, Baby Acres.  

This chapter will have about 2500 words, (hopefully educational words!!)  500 of which have already been written as the Introduction, but will quite likely have to be thrown out and refitted with the new evolution of the book.  We shall see.

And  again, by way of disclaimer, the overall goal is now to explain why we need both equ. + justice, & why in 4 phases.  This chapter will transition to a chapter (2-5) for each phase, showing what Phases I-IV could look like as part of a possible roadmap for a fully inclusive society for all of us.  This vision is laid out in the hope that All HumanKind  will eventually have each person’s basic needs  met, without taking anything from anyone, and without violence, intimidation, nor coercion of any kind. 

Chapter Two:
