Wondering Wednesdays, Baby Acres, and Human Rights as Justice

Each person needs access to information, and to community level places for gatherings and entertainment, provided by local libraries. Each person needs health care, and the health of every resident in a society affects every other resident, from the hospital system right down to the sewage and water treatment systems. Transportation is a concern that touches every resident as well, whether driving in a private car, or riding on a trolley, and the culture and education of every resident of a society inform how those modes of transportation will be used, or abused. Yet, information and communication systems, sanitation, transportation, and even schools all impact the local environment, and also pull resources from the local environment. And, as many Native American Tribal councils, like that of the Black Hills, in South Dakota, can confirm, not all lands are treated with equal care. Thus, climate and land or commons based justice must also be considered, as part of the foundation of any just society.

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

This post  goes on to begin the rough draft of my current non-fiction WiP, Baby Acres: A possible Vision for Making Society Suck Less, in 60 Years.   (Thanks, once again, to JYP and Tammy for the title ideas!!)  The overall goal has been to lay out a roadmap for a fully inclusive society for all of us, so, I am turning, this week, to the introductory chapter, Chapter 0, of the book, in the hope that All HumanKind  will eventually have each person’s basic needs  met.  This book lays out one possible path for getting to that point.

Introduction part II: Peace and Justice

 

   Peaceful change revolves around various types of justice.  Social justice is perhaps the first type of justice that comes to mind, but economic justice, both of outcome and of opportunity, and also climate and other sorts of justice count heavily when considering the…

Alphabet soup for the soul – “G’

Words from Walden

G is for Gratitude

“The miracle of gratitude is that it shifts your perception to such an extent that it changes the world you see”

-Dr Robert Holden-

If the first thing you say every morning when you open your eyes is “thank you, I am grateful to be alive” then you’re proactively starting your day in a positive state of mind. Conversely, if you check your phone to find out what you missed, then you are starting from a reactive state of mind.

The Wise sage said: ‘As you begin your day so too, the rest of your day will unfold’.

By waking up in gratitude daily, eventually, with practice over time, you will find many things to be grateful for.

The truth is we should all be grateful for everything in our lives, the good and the bad. There are times when stormy weather may cloud our judgement…

Why is lockdown so boring?

Beyond The Lines

Lockdown usually means that people must stay where they are and may not enter or exit a building or rooms within it. All non-essential activities remain shut for the entire period. Only essential activities are allowed to run and only essential commodities can be bought.

Eight reasons why lockdown is so boring :-

• Humans are free souls. If you try to capture them then they will break your shackles and run away!

• In lockdown the bustling streets and roads seem like a ghost town.

• Prolonged lockdown may lead to dissent among family members if you are not living alone.

• You can’t go, buy and order from your favourite place or shop.

• You gain weight. If you are w.f.h. or studying online. You may want to eat more since you are staying at home.

• You start to miss your place of work/study and the atmosphere…

New Travel Restrictions Might be Coming to B.C. – The BC Area

Cruise ships have been prohibited until next year and those coming into Canada are being required to quarantine in hotels for a certain amount of time too, causing a great deal of frustration with some travelers.

The border with the U.S. and Canada has been closed for more than a year now.

There isn’t any clear sign of when that might reopen and now there could be more restrictions set by summer in B.C. Other regions of Canada are already facing harsher lock down rules than B.C. is for now, but that might change with B.C. implementing more.

Recently, officials did announce changes to indoor dining and other activities and if cases continue rising and there is that concern then we can expect more announcements for daily life restrictions in the weeks and months to come.

Covid-19 should not stop us from dealing with another key issue: Climate change – Towards A Better Life

Blogger's World!

Covid-19 started in 2020 and does not seem to end soon. The problems it has created also seem to have taken away our attention from climate change, which is another major issue that is affecting our heath.

However, that should not happen because even after we have found a solid solution for the pandemic, climate change will remain.

What can you do?

Most of us are not scientists to deal with climate change, but you can still do something at your level to control it. I believe that doing at least the following two things can help.

1) Shut down that AC: That is what I tell my son who loves switching the air-conditioner on whenever he feels hot. Honestly, I just do it to cut down my power bills. But, I also think that it is not only my child but also other people who put on the AC…
