French Friday during The Nine Days, Sartre, & Nausea

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

     I read this book while learning French, but even at my intermediate level of French skill, it was clear that I hated this book.  Sorry, I know it is classic, but still:
I am sure I reviewed this in French a few years ago, but maybe it was elsewhere, on Livraddict or Vimeo, so I’ll have to search and find my original review and translate it when I have time and energy. Suffice it to say that I hated this book because it sank my hope in Humanity.

His cynical list of different types of Humanists, all either hypocritical or simply stupid, was so depressing that the book itself left me feeling nauseous.   I suppose I ought to read it again, but do I have to, really?

Can’t we human beings do any better for ourselves?

Contestação

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Transborda

Teima

Estoura

Justifica

Esclarece o seu comportamento.

Sim!..

O mar também tem seus dias de contestação.

Tem os seus dias de crise…

É audaz!

Estratégico

Autoafirmativo!

Ousado

Estúpido

Voraz

Impacta às vezes!..

Seu transtorno é de pura hiperatividade

O seu comportamento eufórico, diz que ele não se sujeita a nada.

É indisciplinado

O mar…simplesmente..

Transborda

Repleto de significados

Reclama fisicamente, através de velhos hábitos. seus dias de fúria

Estresse

Bussines!

Revolto

Confrontante

É autodestruidor.

Inspira e causa alucinação.

É inebriante!

Porém, juiz de si mesmo.

Primitivo

Aventureiro

Ilusório!

Esbarra na impossibilidade de continuar a sua progressão

Recua,

E repete todo o seu processo novamente

Querendo alcançar a própria incompletude.

Persegue o teu ideal

Contesta, contesta..a própria vida.

The Altitude of Your Attitude for Gratitude

From Behind the Pen

Image Credit: geralt

        How high does your level of gratitude reach? Now everyone has written about some angle of gratitude, but to grow in thanksgiving, you have to let some things go to see the big picture, in order to rise, like mercury in a thermometer. Life has thrown some curve balls that even astonish Major League Baseball pitchers. Either these curve balls will knock us out, or we focus and fire away by hitting them head-on and out of the park.

        The altitude of our gratitude depends on our attitude of appreciation for gifts that are not simply based on materialistic gains but on how stronger we get in the midst of adversity. Quite often, it is expected that gratitude comes automatically, when things are going great. Ah, the good life, and we think we are happy right? But when you…

Plant based proteins best investment for climate

Darcy Hitchcock

According to a recent report from the Boston Consulting Group, a dollar invested in alternatives to animal products provides a far better return to the climate than electric vehicles and other initiatives.

Animal agriculture represents around 15 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, equivalent to the whole transportation sector. Since a lot of those emissions come in the form of methane, a more potent but shorter lived greenhouse gas, any reduction in animal products now will have long lasting benefits.

By 2035, they estimate that alternatives to animal proteins (foods made from plants or animal cells) will reach 11 percent of market share. Venture capital reached $5 billion in 2021.

If we remain on track for an 11% share for alternative proteins by 2035, we will see a reduction of 0.85 gigaton of CO2 equivalent (CO2e) worldwide by 2030—equal to decarbonizing 95% of the aviation industry. In…

Consider being Considerate 8/5

The daily addict

I really like this word.

Considerate : (a) careful not to cause inconvenience or hurt to others (b) showing careful thought

This for me is an action word that demonstrates grace and kindness to the others…be it friend or stranger.

One day I was at a close friends house and we were sitting outside. I had put my hat on the ground and I asked her if she could pick it up for me; my back was unable to bend properly that day.

Well, I will never forget what happened next. She picked up my hat and before she handed it to me she brushed off any dirt that might have been on it.

It was a small gesture but it was very considerate.

If I am acting reckless or being selfish and self centered…..that energy is just swirling all around me and the others.

When I slow down..get…

Splatter Pan Roasted Peppers

snapshotsincursive

What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Enjoyable Eats: Splatter Pan Roasted Peppers! There’s something comforting about roasted vegetables. Perhaps it’s the amazing flavor as a result of dry oven heat. Ever notice that slightly caramelized texture? Sometimes it results in a toasted nutty-like flavor. Sweetness piques, especially in tomatoes. The soft brown garlic bulbs surprised me most of all. I mashed one against the roof of my mouth. The raw bitterness had been replaced with a savory sweetness that brought sheer pleasure to my taste buds. No wonder people say food can produce a seductive spark. Am I the last one to discover this about roasted garlic?
