If You Don't Like Learning...

2011-11-30T12:44:00.002+08:00

Confucius said:

If you like humaneness but don't like learning, it degenerates into folly.
If you like knowledge but don't like learning, it degenerates into looseness.
If you like trust but don't like learning, it degenerates into depredation.
If you like honesty but don't like learning, it degenerates into stricture.
If you like bravery but don't like learning, it degenerates into disorder.
If you like strength but don't like learning, it degenerates into wildness.

This is not the gate of despair,
This is the gate of hope.

The 'Chipko movement' or 'Chipko Andolan' is a socio-ecological movement that practised the Gandhian methods of satyagraha and non-violent resistance, through the act of hugging trees to protect them from being felled. The modern Chipko movement started in the early 1970s in the Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand with growing awareness towards rapid deforestation. The landmark event in this struggle took place on March 26, 1974, when a group of female peasants in Reni village, Hemwalghati, in Chamoli district, Uttarakhand, India, acted to prevent the cutting of trees and reclaim their traditional forest rights

The first recorded event of Chipko took place in village Khejarli, Jodhpur district, in 1730 AD, when 363 Bishnois, led by Amrita Devi sacrificed their lives while protecting green Khejri trees, considered sacred by the community, by hugging them, and braved the axes of loggers sent by the local ruler.

Mother's Day Proclamation of 1870 & Peace

2010-05-09T11:51:00.003+08:00

Arise then...women of this day!
Arise, all women who have hearts!
Whether your baptism be of water or of tears!
Say firmly:
"We will not have questions answered by irrelevant agencies,
Our husbands will not come to us, reeking with carnage,
For caresses and applause.
Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn
All that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience.
We, the women of one country,
Will be too tender of those of another country
To allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs."

From the bosum of a devastated Earth a voice goes up with
Our own. It says: "Disarm! Disarm!
The sword of murder is not the balance of justice."
Blood does not wipe our dishonor,
Nor violence indicate possession.
As men have often forsaken the plough and the anvil at the summons of war,
Let women now leave all that may be left of home
For a great and earnest day of counsel.
Let them meet first, as women, to bewail and commemorate the dead.
Let them solemnly take counsel with each other as to the means
Whereby the great human family can live in peace...
Each bearing after his own time the sacred impress, not of Caesar,
But of God -
In the name of womanhood and humanity, I earnestly ask
That a general congress of women without limit of nationality,
May be appointed and held at someplace deemed most convenient
And the earliest period consistent with its objects,
To promote the alliance of the different nationalities,
The amicable settlement of international questions,
The great and general interests of peace.

"Master of My Fate, Captain of My Soul."

2010-04-22T08:13:00.003+08:00

Nelson Mandela was prisoner 46664 for 25 years. He was inspired by the poem "Invictus", which ends with these lines:

I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

(From Wikipedia: Mandela was imprisoned on Robben Island in 1964, and was the 466th prisoner to arrive that year. The prison administration's scheme of numbering prisoners was to follow the sequence number of the prisoner (466 in his case), with the last two digits of the year (64). The number was imposed on him by the prison for over 25 years, until his release in 1990. "Prisoner 46664" continues to be used, as a reverential title for him, and the Nelson Mandela Foundation uses 46664.com as its website address.)

Smile and the World Smiles with You

2009-05-16T08:18:00.004+08:00

About Smile:
* A smile is a universal expression of happiness and recognised as such by all cultures.
* A smile is the most frequently used facial expression It takes as few as five pairs of facial muscles and as many as all 53 to smile.
* Regardless of the precise number of muscles used, smiling causes far fewer muscles to contract and expand than frowning.
* Smiling releases endorphins and makes us feel better.
* Even faking a smile can lead to feeling happier.
* People are born with the ability to smile (They dont copy the expression, even babies who are born blind, smile).
* Babies reserve special smiles (Duchenne smiles of joy and happiness) for their loved ones.
* A newborn shows a preference for a smiling face over a non-smiling face.
* Women smile more than men.
* Younger people smile more than older American males with high testosterone, who smile least of all.
* There are 18 different kinds of smile used in a variety of social situations.
* Human beings can differentiate between the felt smile (of joy and happiness) and the social smile, in the eyes (literally).
* A smiling person is judged to be more pleasant, attractive, sincere, sociable, and competent than a non-smiling person.
* A person who studies laughter is called a gelotologist.

Dominant World Religion of the Planet

2009-04-21T14:16:00.019+08:00

Rootless consumerism: "dominant world religion of the planet."
"Its God is economic growth for its own sake; its priests are economists and politicians; its evangelists are the advertisers; the shopping mall is its church,"...The consumer church has as its creeds, "More is better. Bigger is better. Faster is better. You can have it all," and the only blasphemy in the church is to say, "Enough!" Finally, the doctrine of salvation for the church of consumerism is "appearance, affluence and marketable achievement" summed up as, "I've made it."

Why Do We Shout?

2009-04-09T09:45:00.004+08:00

One day, a professor asked his students 'Why do we SHOUT instead of speaking softly when we are ANGRY?'
All the students thought for a while. One answered 'Because we lose our cool. That's why we SHOUT.'
The professor asked again, 'But the person is just right next to you, why can't you talk softly but instead have to SHOUT?'
Everyone gave their opinions but none was accepted by the professor.
At last the professor explained 'When we are ANGRY, our hearts drift apart. To mask the DISTANCE we feel, we instinctively SHOUT instead of speaking softly so that the other party can hear us.'
'But as we SHOUT, we get ANGRIER. And we feel we drift apart further. So we SHOUT even louder....'
'It is the opposite when we are in love. Not only we do not shout, we whisper into each other ears. Why?'
'This is because our hearts are very close, almost never apart. As our love deepens, we reach a state of communication where there is no need for words.'
'We understand each other well enough just by exchanging look,' concluded the professor.
'Therefore, when we argue next time, let us NOT speak words that will make our hearts drift apart. WAIT a few days. When we feel our hearts are no longer far apart, let us pick up the conversation and continue from there.'

Whose Crisis Is It, Anyway?

2009-03-12T03:47:00.004+08:00

Understanding the Class Nature of the Present Crisis:

"Top bosses of New York financial firms paid themselves bonuses worth $18 billion in 2008. The kleptocrats clearly believe that the crisis — one that has their personal stamp on it — is for others. They themselves flourish by divine right. And the bailouts seem to confirm that. The very gangs that spurred the meltdown are rewarded with huge amounts of taxpayer money so that they can go back to doing the same things they were doing before.

Meanwhile tens of millions of human beings across the world stand to lose their jobs. Many will descend into distress and chaos. The already hungry will have it much worse. Whose crisis is it, anyway?" (P. Sainath: The Meltdown: http://www.counterpunch.org/sainath02162009.html)

US bureaucrats erase American 'hunger'

Washington
November 21, 2006

The US government has tweaked its terminology in referring to the nearly 11 million Americans who face a constant struggle with hunger to refer to them as people with "very low food security".

According to a report released this month by the US Department of Agriculture, roughly 35 million Americans had difficulty feeding themselves in 2005 and of those some 10.8 million went hungry.

But unlike last year's report on hunger in America, which labelled families who don't get enough to eat as having "food insecurity with hunger", this year's report referred to them as having "very low food security".

The change in terminology has angered groups that fight hunger who say it is aimed at hiding a stark reality.

Is Creativity Innocent?

2008-06-09T16:47:00.007+08:00

Is creativity innocent? Or does it have a darker, violent and cruel side? And can we really get away by cleverly separating creativity, creation and application?

====================================
Isn't the invention of an atomic bomb a creative endeavour? But consider...

A first for the general public, the picture of the “mushroom cloud" is a very accurate approximation of the enormous quantity of energy spread below. The first atomic bomb, released on August 6 in Hiroshima (Japan) killed about 80,000 people, but it didn’t seem enough because the Japanese didn’t surrender right away. Therefore, on August 9 another bomb was released above Nagasaki. The effects of the second bomb were even more devastating - 150,000 people were killed or injured. But the powerful wind, the extremely high temperature and radiation caused enormous long term damage.

sometimes from order to chaos;
and
sometimes from norm to free play of desire.

It seems to be caught between disruption and creativity on one side and disruption, destruction and death on the other.

Elephant Cathedral/Silent Teachers

2008-02-13T07:30:00.000+08:00

Picture Source

The word cathedral is derived from the Latin noun "cathedra" (seat or chair), and refers to the presence of the bishop's or archbishop's chair or throne. In the ancient world, the chair was the symbol of a teacher.

Tiny in all respects in comparison to its surrounding, the elephant has in the jungle that surrounds it a silent teacher. Very often we forget our tiny finitude, play up our pettiness and fail to recognise the many giant silent teachers in our lives.

For great, realistic ideas:
-- Firmly place feet on the ground.
-- And carefully screw your head tightly to your body.
Best of luck.

Lost Futures

The futures of thousands of children are lost annually. But it is not children's futures alone we are guilty of losing...We also lose sight of great ideas and possibilities for better futures.

Commitment and Protest

====================================================
Thích Quảng Đức [1963]

Thích Quảng Ðức was a Vietnamese Buddhist monk who burned himself to death at a busy Saigon intersection on June 11, 1963. His act of self-immolation, which was repeated by others, was witnessed by David Halberstam, a New York Times reporter, who wrote:

"I was to see that sight again, but once was enough. Flames were coming from a human being; his body was slowly withering and shriveling up, his head blackening and charring. In the air was the smell of burning human flesh; human beings burn surprisingly quickly. Behind me I could hear the sobbing of the Vietnamese who were now gathering. I was too shocked to cry, too confused to take notes or ask questions, too bewildered to even think.... As he burned he never moved a muscle, never uttered a sound, his outward composure in sharp contrast to the wailing people around him."

Contrast that Teaches

Some contrasts carry a message and provide a deep lesson in the ways of the world. (Many come our way but we fail to "see" them.)

Greed

2007-10-03T09:07:00.000+08:00

An image of the world that is constantly pushed out of view, reflection and action. What we do not 'see', we do not 'feel-think' about and act.

A Racist World

Images of a Racist World: Image of "nigger" labour to white Americans...But don't many of us treat immigrant labour the same way?

Temptation

A temptation to play God with Mother Earth?

The Analog Letter (Vs. The Digital E.mail)

2007-09-03T19:47:00.001+08:00

If you really want to touch someone, send them a letter. (So appropriate for a world that has gone so digital...and losing the art of writing a warm letter.)
