The Drowning Child

Saania's diary - reflections, learnings, sparkles

Peter Singer is an Australian philosopher who created a thought experiment called The Drowning Child, in 2009.

In this thought experiment, we imagine ourselves walking down the street. Suddenly, we notice a girl drowning in a lake. We have the ability to swim, and we are also close enough to save her life if we take action immediately. However, doing so will ruin our expensive shoes. Do we still have an obligation to save her?

Peter’s answer to this question is yes. We do have a responsibility to save the life of a drowning child and price is no object. If we agree with him on this statement, it leads us to a salient thought-provoking question: If we are obligated to save the life of a child in need, is there a fundamental difference between saving one who is right in front of us and oneon the other…

Limun

Benefits of Lemon

Myrela

Moć vitamina C nikad nemojte potcjenjivati – kao ni isproban i vrijedan savjet da pijete napitke sa limunom kada imate prehladu. Vitamin C u limunu smanjuje nivo histamina, jedinjenja koja doprinosi zapušenosti nosa i suzenja očiju. Ovaj vitamin je moćan antioksidans koji smanjuje nivo slobodnih radikala, nestabilnih molekula kiseonika koji oštećuju ćelije i pomaže u zaštiti od bolesti srca. Nekoliko istraživanja je pokazalo da nizak nivo vitamina C povećava rizik od infarkta. (Kada holesterol postane oksidovan – napadnut od slobodnih radikala – vjerovatnije je da će se pretvoriti u plak koji zapušava arterije.) Organizam upotrebljava vitamin C da bi pojačao aktivnost ćelija imunog sistema i izgradio kolagen, supstancu koja gradi tkiva i koja pomaže u zarastanju rana.

Za šta je dobar? – Za: akne, staračke fleke, neprijatan miris tijela, žuljeve i kurje oči, prehlade i grip, groznice (herpes simplex), kašalj, suva usta, masnu kosu, glavene vaši, gorušicu, štucanje, kamen u…

ore de drum

Arcadia, 2017

Intrarea în Turcia dinspre Bulgaria, pe un drum secundar. La micul punct de trecere a frontierei de la Lesovo, eram doar o singură mașină și am trecut destul de repede prin toate etapele controlului. Deși traversăm o frontieră între două țări de pe două continente diferite, cu religii distincte, sentimentul nu se schimbă. Rămânem în Tracia, regiunea care se întinde pe zone cuprinse în trei țări: sud-estul Bulgariei, nord-vestul Turciei și nord-estul Greciei. Tracia nu este o regiune banală. Ai multe de văzut/privit aici, iar toamna oferă un farmec somptuos culorilor naturii.

Tracia este cunoscută mai cu seamă datorită vinurilor sale, dar să nu trecem cu vederea celelalte produse, cum ar fi varietatea de brânzeturi care se produc aici.
