Jealousy is mental cancer

Saania's diary - reflections, learnings, sparkles

Jealousy. I have touched on this topic before but feel an unsettling urge to dwell on it a little deeper. Recently, I have been jealous of someone at school, for reasons we can talk about later, but the point is: it turned me into a green-eyed monster!

I despise this feeling. Every bit of it. But I can’t help but envy her. As I analyze this emotion, there is one thing that becomes clear…

We live in the age of envy. Human beings have always felt what Aristotle defined in the fourth century BC as pain at the sight of another’s good fortune, stirred by “those who have what we ought to have”. It is true, I feel innately uncomfortable about this girl’s great accomplishments even though I don’t want to feel this way one bit.

However, I recently came across the Growth Mindset. When we have a…

Justice Department’s False Claims Act Settlements and Judgments Exceed $5.6 Billion in Fiscal Year 2021 | OPA | Department of Justice

The Justice Department obtained more than $5.6 billion in settlements and judgments from civil cases involving fraud and false claims against the government in the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 2021, Acting Assistant Attorney General Brian M. Boynton of the Justice Department’s Civil Division announced today. This is the second largest annual total in False Claims Act history, and the largest since 2014. Settlement and judgments since 1986, when Congress substantially strengthened the civil False Claims Act, now total more than $70 billion.

Day 65/67: Five Month GED, Parabolas, and Public Libraries

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

Parabolas, always exponential, describe falling, thrown, (or ?) objects: symmetry is … symmetrical.

–Clearly, a library at each campus of each Adult /Continuing Education site would be helpful, as well as quiet study cubicles, for those with no place to study at home.

Continuing to learn, and helping others continue to learn, helps our society, so I am posting these lesson plans in the hope of helping others to help themselves to learn, whether one has yet to finish High School, or merely wants a refresher.

But, the fun parabola question is: will this space tour transportation (rocket) travel in the form of a parabola on the way to and from the Space Station?  Babylon 5, we’re almost there! 

Axiom Space said three private individuals and a former NASA astronaut will fly aboard SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule for an eight-day stay on the station.

Things That Make Me Scratch My Head 🤷

Filosofa's Word

The U.S. has a LOT of problems right now:  our democratic principles were very nearly shredded on January 6th 2021;  racism and homophobia are on the rise as is violent behaviour; the gun culture is out of control with more than 2 million guns being sold in a single month; there is zero cooperation between the two sides of the congressional aisle, thus NOTHING is being accomplished for We the People; hatred is on the rise in our society with people attacking store clerks, airline personnel and each other for no good reason; a pandemic is killing around 2,000 people in this country per day; Putin is threatening to start a new World War with his troop buildup on Russia’s border with Ukraine; and the list goes on.  But guess what the hot topic today is among some?  Cartoon character Minnie Mouse’s new attire.  Yep, you heard me…

O’ life
let me hold you
in comfort of my arms
in warmth of my heart
in dreams in my eyes
in pleasurable & painful sighs
in boundless love ties
in all frames of mind
in each moment of time;

I know
one day, I will die
but hold on to me
and let me feel alive.

Day 64/67: Five Month GED, Lines and Laws, and Transporting Us To The Stars!

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

 Ad Astra!    But, how do we get there?

Today’s reading discusses Newton’s proofs of Kepler’s earlier laws, based on both observation and mathematics.  After all, if we can see it, but don’t know how much food and fuel we need to get there, it might be a longer trip than we thought!

Newton’s Principia (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy, 1687), the foundational work of modern science. Newton used classical geometry and the emerging techniques of differential and integral calculus to give mathematical derivations from general fundamental principles of essentially all the quantitative physical laws known at the time.One of the main achievements was the derivation of Kepler’s laws from an inverse square law for gravity …”
