Kindness – Wisdom💥 Tomorrow-Scars

Those scars aren’t a sign that you’re finished; they’re a sign that you’ve been healed. They’re a sign that you’re ready to move forward. If God were through with you, you wouldn’t still be here. There’s something for you to do. You have a lesson. Somebody needs what you have. Somebody needs your unconditional love, somebody needs your smile, somebody needs your gifts.

Gottlieb: Declines in cases, hospitalizations should signal a relaxation in COVID-19 restrictions | TheHill (Me: Wrong – way too many people still too stupid to deal with early relaxation – Covid will surge back and kill innocents!!!)

Phuket Was Poised for Tourism Comeback. A Covid Surge Dashed Those Hopes. – The New York Times (Me: irresponsible government leaders fuels the continuing pandemic!)

Thailand is now gripped by its worst Covid-19 outbreak since the pandemic began, spread in part by well-heeled Thais who partied in Phuket and Bangkok with no social distancing. The confirmed daily caseload — albeit low by global standards — has increased from 26 on April 1 to more than 2,000 three weeks later, this in a country that had about 4,000 total cases in early December.

For months, Thailand’s strict quarantines, lockdowns, border vigilance and rigorous use of masks kept the virus at bay, although the economy suffered. But even as the last couple of weeks have brought repeated daily caseload highs, the Thai government is reacting slowly.

In early April, as cases began to mount, Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha reacted with a verbal shrug.

“Whatever happens, happens,” he said.

Desperate to resuscitate its tourism sector, Phuket, which had shut its airport during a Covid spike last year, continued to allow people in this spring on domestic flights, even as cases reached record highs. Only on Thursday did the local authorities start requiring Covid-19 screening for those arriving on the island.

Harris on her approach to immigration: ‘Most people don’t want to leave home’ | TheHill

“They don’t want to leave their grandparents; they don’t want to leave the place where they grew up; where they, you know, they speak the language or they know the culture. The place where they’re from the place that is home,” Harris continued. “Most people don’t want to leave home and when they do, it’s usually for one of two reasons: they’re fleeing some harm or they cannot stay and satisfy the basic necessities of life.” Source: Harris on her approach to immigration: ‘Most people don’t want to leave home’ | TheHill

The World I Dream Of

Filosofa's Word

On August 28th, 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King gave his “I Have a Dream” speech at the March on Washington.  An excerpt … perhaps the most memorable lines …

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.”

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, sons of former slaves and the sons of former slaveowners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a…
