Dia iluminado – Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Um dia iluminado, é um dia fervoroso, sublime…redentor. É um dia, onde a vida faz surgir aquela sensação mágica, apaziguadora, que amplia os nossos horizontes, fazendo- nos mergulhar os olhos em lugares onde as pessoas pouco mergulham. Gosto desse ponto da vida, digo de ” me distanciada realidade e fazer as pazes com a utopia “. Às vezes, pensativos demais, nada acontece de novo. A verdade é que todos nós, precisamos de algo que faça  sentido para viver. Na verdade, um propósito, um sonho, um projeto. Há quem se apegue as coisas materiais, sobretudo, para acreditar…para ter controle sobre algo ou alguma coisa. Eu gosto de apostar no brilho das coisas boas que existem dentro da gente, em especial, aquelas que parecem ser indecifráveis.

Sunday ‘Toon Afternoon | Filosofa’s Word

As you might imagine, between Justice Samuel Alito’s outrageous refusal to recuse himself from cases he has a vested interest in and the big news about HWSNBN (he who shall not be named) being convicted on all 34 charges in the New York case, the cartoonists have had a lot on their plates this week and they’ve done well!  Here are a few of the best ones I saw …

गूंज बचपन की / Echoes of Childhood  – Kaushal Kishore

 

कोई लौटा दे 

वह मेरा बचपन,

जब मैं सो जाता था छत पर 

सुकून से तारों के बीच,

बिना परवाह किए 

कि कल क्या होगा…

🚸 🚸 🚸 🚸

Could someone return 

my childhood’s grace…

When dreams were serene 

and nights held space…

Sleeping on the terrace high…

No worries then, just starry sky…

Are memories formed within the exact moment we experience them? 

Can a split second simultaneously become the past and present as the neurons in our brains try to differentiate between the now and then? 
Are we able to remember the details of everything happening to us as if they have already happened? 

How do we know where the timelines truly begin? 

Or when the memories actually end?

Children die of malnutrition as Rafah operation heightens threat of famine in Gaza | Israel-Gaza war | The Guardian

Fayiz Abu Ataya was born into war and knew nothing else. Over his first and only spring, in a town stalked by hunger, he wasted away to a shadow of a child, skin stretched painfully over jutting bones.

In seven months of life, he had little time to make a mark beyond the family who loved him. But when his death from malnutrition was reported last week, it sounded a warning around the world about a rapidly deepening crisis in central and southern Gaza, triggered by the Israeli military operation in the southern town of Rafah.

At least 30 child victims of malnutrition have been recorded in Gaza, but almost all died in the north, until recently the area with the most extreme shortages of food and medical care, where a top US aid official said famine had taken hold in some areas.

The arrival of Israeli troops in Rafah in May shifted the grim calculus of threat in the strip…
