I Dream This Day of Wondrous Things,
of Peace and Hope and Pride.
I Dance My Dance with Life Today,
I’m Filled with Love Inside.
– Jonathan Lockwood Huie
It is not the magnitude of our actions
but the amount of love
that is put into them that matters.
– Mother Teresa
We all go through life bristling
at our external limitations,
but the most difficult chains
to break are inside us.
– Bradley Whitford
Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared
believe that something inside of them was superior to circumstance.
– Bruce Barton
True love doesn’t come to you it has to be inside you.

who looks inside, awakes.

Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news.
The good news is that you don’t know how great you can be!
How much you can love!
What you can accomplish! And what your potential is!
– Anne Frank

As though it was not sufficient to take Woke away, and support charter schools and halt affirmative action funds–many of which have been continuing from the past (as at O.U.)–and snip at universities’ freedom of speech and lower teachers’ standards and threaten to wipe out the national Board of Education (see Trump’s plans) and move toward putting chaplains in some public schools [see Florida] but a number of colleges are closing, nationwide. Higher education was experiencing financial challenges even before the pandemic, from dwindling enrollment to rising tuition to doubts about the value of a degree. Colleges are losing room and board revenue and associated fees, and even facing lawsuits from angry families demanding tuition refunds. The core product — teaching and learning — has come under attack for dubious quality (and more recently for attacks on student’s and professors’s freedom of speech). –See at least Ohio’s manipulative actions. Higher education is indeed in crisis,
According to surveys, nearly half (45%) of US companies plan to eliminate bachelor’s degree requirements for some roles in 2024. This follows a significant trend in 2023, where 55% of companies already did away with degree requirements.

“The evidence of declining gun violence and murder in the U.S., though, is incontrovertible.”
Declines in both blue and red states are contributing to the improved picture nationwide, Asher said.
California saw 1,892 homicides reported in 2023, which was “roughly in line” with annual figures seen from 2016 to 2019 — and well below the state’s historic high for homicides and its levels during the peak of the pandemic.
In 1992, the city of Los Angeles alone saw 1,092 homicides. In 2022, there were 392. In 2023, there were 327.

Tears,
They have shed tears for too long,
If they were a glacier, it would eventually dry up one day.
The warmth of heart will wither away,
If they were a river, one day their flow would cease,
And hope would wither away, like a fading breeze.
If they were an ocean, even its vastness would turn into a dunes,
And happiness’s smile would set, like the sun in a distant land.
Tears are mere droplets, a symbol of our deepest longing,
But they cannot quench our thirst,
nor ease our heart’s tormenting.
Tears alone cannot sustain us,
nor can they quench the fire within.
Even our heart aches within
For the freedom we seek, let us march forward, undaunted and unbroken,
until we claim our victory.

Júnior Hekurari Yanomami
« Exactly 8 years ago, the Yanomami people began to experience suffering, as a result of the negligence of the Brazilian State that was supposed to protect us, but left us at the mercy of invaders and lack of assistance.

In the period from 2019 to 2022, gold miners poisoned our rivers, our forest, our lives.
In 2023 we continued to face malaria, malnutrition, infectious diseases and hunger.
We are still dying from diseases that are considered treatable and have an easy solution.

Now the world looks forward to a new year, with new goals, achievements, dreams, hope.
From here, I don’t know what to wish for my people, other than resistance and strength to continue believing in better days. Strength to continue fighting for our space within a prejudiced society. Resistance to continue fighting for existence in this sacred land. »
