La soledad

La soledad me ha enseñado mucho. Ha sido mi compañera y mi maestra. En la soledad, aprendí a buscarme, a recorrer diferentes rutas hacia mi interior, hasta que me descubrí auténtico, libre, pleno, resplandeciente, como es el alma, la esencia, la parte inmortal de uno. En la soledad, he encontrado, al natural, mis sentimientos, mis ideales, mis pensamientos; pero también, una y otra vez, desde la infancia hasta el minuto presente, me ha ofrecido, entre sus rumores y silencios, pedazos de inspiración. La soledad es compañera inseparable de quienes dedicamos los días y los años de la existencia al arte, a la razón, a las causas que pretenden el bien de los demás, a la ciencia, a alguna encomienda. La soledad voluntaria, como la busqué desde la niñez, me ha ayudado a andar por la ruta interior y llegar…

Tratar bem as pessoas fala muito sobre quem você é

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Você gosta de ser bem tratado? E quem não? Vou te falar alguns segredos que valem ouro.

Quando se trata de relacionar-se com pessoas é importante ressaltar que você terá que lidar com comportamentos variados, e a chave do sucesso, apesar de estar em suas mãos, dependerá da maneira de como você vai manter o diálogo com elas. O seu ciclo social tem que ser composto por todo tipo de pessoas, e na maioria das vezes, você terá que lidar com elas de forma despretensiosa. Evidente que, em algum momento, você terá que conviver com situações difíceis, mas em outras, tudo acontecerá as mil maravilhas. Algumas situações eu te ajudo como agir, em outras nem Harvard te mostra um conteúdo tão rico.

A naturalidade é a alma do negócio “

Seja natural. É incrível conhecer pessoas que agem de maneira espontânea. Sabe? Gente que sorrir de verdade, que é…

Shirin Abu Akleh: An Eternal Star in Jerusalem’s Sky – Nadia Harhash

Since the assassination of Palestinian Journalist Shirin Abu Akleh, I felt overtaken into another level of seeing this universe. That space in which a line is drawn by death on this earth. How death can elevate a human towards a must-be- sacred space where goodness, peace, holiness, and justice are the ultimate truth.

With each death we witness, we are forcibly stopped into a halt of questioning the value of our existence. What happened, what is happening, what will be happening. Often, we succumb to the despair of wishful thinking as we see how a human body succumbs to earth with no words left to describe what was just a living human, but with our helplessness and feebleness. We are incapable, powerless, and unable.

It is only in rare moments that most of us may not even witness in his\her spam of a lifetime when we perceive a moment of death that elevates a human into a Saintly, Angel-like reality.

A moment when we truly believe that there are angels and saints. A human body-transforming, rising to a saintly angelic level…

Lesson Day 11, and Old Signatures?

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

     This week’s lesson plan is Day 11 of 67, from my GED in 5 month plan set.  I’m also wondering about part of my old “sig” from previous posts that I’ve been deleting in favor of a simpler sig.   I kind of miss it:

 

Support our key #PublicDomainInfrastructure  & #StopSmoking for CCOVID-19:
1. #PublicLibraries,
2. #ProBono legal aid and Education,
3. #UniversalHealthCare, and
4. good #publictransport

 

   This sig has the advantage of a neat hover-over that I’m not sure even the new editor can do, so I am glad to remember a bit of html from my previous life as a s/w engineer.  But I’ve also been told that my ending sig, if which this was a part, was too complicated.   Now, I just try to get a Project Do Better link in via the Twitter link, but that is not as explanatory as…

Des Hommes et des Dieux: Is Empathy Always Good?

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

       I am writing this review again, after having reviewed it several years ago, but lost the review.  This will be short, so I recommend seeing the film for yourselves, please.  It is beautiful, and tragic.  

Remember that sacrifice with the “après-gout de la manipulation…”  (“after-taste of manipulation…”), as you consider the question of whether their sacrifice helped build empathy or not, please.

  I saw it when I was living in Brittany, and thus had the opportunity to ask some neighbors about it:  

DesHommes

a common view turned out to be that:

“ils sont pas comment nous, et ils ne cetait pas prét d’avoir les mêmes droits.”

“they’re not like us, and they were not ready to have the same rights.”

  This was the response to my question of why not give the Algerians the same rights as French citizens in The Hexagon (continental France), which was…
