As we ponder on this Universe let’s take the time to savour the ways in which this Universe is all inclusive. Rain (water) the sustenance of life falls on the rich as well as those who are relegated to the idea of ‘the poor’. The sun shines on all, the air circulates amongst us, the forests purifies our air and produces an abundant supply of food and medicine. We can’t replicate what the Universe does so how do we think we are a superior species?

बड़ी उम्मीद लेकर
गया था मैं
तुमसे मिलने के लिए,
जब वापस आया तो पाया,
एक अनजान से दिल को
अपने सीने में धड़कते हुए…

❤️❤️❤️

I had gone
to meet you
with high hopes,
when I came back,
I found a strange heart
beating in my chest…

The high cost of the Supreme Court’s decision banning affirmative action, explained – Vox

The Supreme Court, or rather the six justices appointed by Republican presidents, decided on Thursday to ignore the combined wisdom of many of the military’s seniormost former leaders, the shared wisdom of dozens of America’s greatest businesses, and the combined insights of the medical profession — not to mention the views of two of America’s greatest universities, both of which believed that students who are educated on more diverse campuses receive an inherently superior education that better prepares them for careers in business, medicine, the military, or elsewhere.

Filosofa's Word

Tonight I wanted to play something by the Beatles, but I wanted one I had never played here before.  You wouldn’t believe how hard that was to find!  I had no idea how many Beatles’ songs I’ve played here over the years!  I was actually amazed … had to double and triple check my archives … to find that I hadn’t played this one yet!  It would be easier to tell you the countries where this did NOT hit #1 than the countries where it did, for nearly every nation for which rankings are kept ranked it #1 with the exceptions of Belgium and Austria, where it only went to #5.

Some interesting trivia about this song from SongFacts …

This was used as the title song to Beatles’ second movie. The original title to the song and the movie was “Eight Arms To Hold You,” and the first copies…

The Supreme Court Strikes Down Affirmative Action | 3CHICSPOLITICO

Sotomayor: …”The Court subverts the constitutional guarantee of equal
protection by further entrenching racial inequality in education, the very foundation of our democratic government and pluralistic society. Because the Court’s opinion is not grounded in law or fact and contravenes the vision of equality embodied in the Fourteenth Amendment, I dissent…” Source: The Supreme Court Strikes Down Affirmative Action | 3CHICSPOLITICO

“182nd story”

First published: Mar.11.2021

Once upon a time,

There lived an old man in a village.

One of the days his horse ran away and disappeared. Losing his horse was very hard for him.

People of the village said: “You are a very unlucky person, and we feel so sorry for you.”

The old man replied: “You never know.”

The next day the old man’s horse came back along with a few wild horses and now his one horse became so many.

The people of the village said: “You are a very lucky man.”

The old man replied: “You never know.”

The old man’s son tried to tame the wild horses and fell off one of them, and broke his leg.

People of the village said: “You are a very unlucky person.”

The old man only had one answer: “You never know.”

The next day the king announced that…

” De tanto ver trinfar as nulidades, de tanto ver prosperar a desonra, de tanto ver crescer a injustiça, de tanto ver agigantar- se os poderes nas mãos dos maus, o homem chega a desanimar da virtude, a rir- se da honra, a ter vergonha de ser honesto… Essa foi a obra da República nos últimos anos. “
