Four Americans leave Afghanistan via overland route to 3rd country – UPI.com
The Americans, who were all in good condition, exited through an unnamed third country where U.S. embassy officials greeted them, an unnamed State Department source told CNN, NBC News and CBS News. “The Taliban was aware and did not impede their transit,” the source said. Their departure marked the first time that any of the dozens of Americans believed to be remaining in Afghanistan have made it out of the country since the last U.S. troops departed a week ago.

Perhaps We Trusted Too Much
If you were born with pale skin in the United States in the last 150 years, you have led a life of great privilege, though you might not realize it. You might begin to realize it if you could exchange brief life stories with someone your age born in Ghana, Afghanistan, Hong Kong, Brazil, Iraq … most any other non-democratic nation. But here’s the thing … we are so used to that life of privilege that we no longer appreciate it, we take it for granted.
Since you were old enough to talk, you’ve understood that this is a mostly free nation, that people have certain ‘unalienable’ rights. You can choose your own career path, can choose to be well-educated … or not. You can choose, within the confines of your economic status, where to live, what sort of car to drive. You are not told who, or even if…

Do you Want Children to be Ready to Face a Green Future
Now that the pandemic has taken its toll
And everything seems to be out of control
The children can still look forward to a future that is bright
When we build environmental protection in a way that is right

Making a plan for a green future is the best thing adults can do
Now that climate change is causing more natural disasters, we don’t want the children to be blue
We should encourage them to learn eco-friendly tips and start protecting the planet
When they do this, they won’t be so worried and upset
When we build environmental protection awareness in a new way
Children will look forward to seeing a brighter day
They will be ready to develop economies in a way that is sustainable
Let us prepare them now that we are equipped and we are able

Is life a Stage
Is life a stage for us? Do we parade our characters irrespective of their negative portrayal? Time like water cannot be contained, it slips from our grasp, we can’t save it, we can only use it. Let’s use time to create a better world within us and in the Universe.

Pensamentos.me/ VEM comigo!
Sem esforço não há recompensa para alcançar os nossos objetivos. Portanto, trabalhe duro e lute pelo o que almeja. A vida é uma somatória de propósitos e as necessidades do mundo. O bom é quando elas se juntam e perpetuam entre si mesmos, nos levando para frente. E, mais que isso, quando nos fazem enfrentar as adversidades aparentemente feliz.
Caminhe cinco minutos sem esquecer quem você é […] A maioria esquece. E aqui falo talvez, do detalhe mais importante que é: mantenha um sorriso gracioso no rosto, antes de tomar qualquer decisão sobre suas escolhas. O sorriso é um detalhe importante que te fará bela, porque de nada adianta um semblante triste a nos acompanhar. Concordas? Sinta-se igual a todos.
Assim, eu e você, poderemos entardecer na vida com luminosidade, enxergando as mesmas coisas, e respondedo-as de maneira sabia, ao que por ventura, a vida venha nos contrariar.

Indigenous Women, Original Women: « Reforesting Minds for the Healing of the Earth! »

September 7th to 11th, several thousand women from 150 indigenous nations will gather to march together in Brasilia in support of the rights they are guaranteed in the Constitution of Brazil and against the «Time Frame» limit and other anti-indigenous policies of President Bolsonaro.
«We are seeking to guarantee our territories for present and future generations, defend the environment, this common good that guarantees our ways of life as part of humanity.
In addition to being a physical resource that sustains us, it is also home to the spirits of forests, animals and the waters and of life as a whole – the source of our ancestral knowledge.
We state that indigenous women will be on the front line to bury once and for all the ‘time frame limit – the milestone thesis’, during the 2nd March of…
