Jennifer Griffin has long appeared to me to be a tool of the deep state & numerous sources over the years have come to me about this. But I always thought it was a real mark of her character that she was a source for a WaPo hit piece on me when I was at 60 Minutes & they came after me for my Benghazi reporting. Right before the hit piece came out, it was Halloween & I was with my young children “trick or treating” in the neighborhoods around our DC home. I ran into Jennifer that night & we spoke - the one person I saw who knew me & would have immediate access to reporters. Amazingly, the next day the article quoted an anonymous source as describing me dressed like a stripper when out with my kids for Halloween. Actually My four-year-old daughter had asked me to be the Pink Power Ranger because my children loved that show so that’s what I was - for them. And I was wearing some standard Power Ranger pink & white one piece from Walmart. It was such a personal attack that had literally nothing to do with my work. So small.
Then when I was reporting at Fox News on the disastrous Afghan betrayal/withdrawal, she complained about me to the “front office” & I was notified by my agent.

"Uno de los grandes dones de envejecer es descubrir el exquisito arte de estar solo. Lo que solía ser un silencio incómodo, ahora es un lujo. La casa es tranquila, y puedo bailar en la cocina sin ser juzgada o simplemente no hacer nada. Mi mejor compañía soy yo misma, con un café, una buena película y la libertad de ser, porque la soledad no es ausencia, es plenitud y tranquilidad."

Mais comment en est-on arrivé là ? Nous avons cessé de dire NON !
Aujourd’hui, les choses sont ainsi : les parents ne veulent plus être des parents. Ils veulent être les amis de leurs enfants. Si tu dis non, tu traumatises. Si tu imposes une limite, tu es autoritaire. Si tu demandes du respect, tu es rigide. Alors on recule, on négocie tout, on évite le conflit. Et pendant ce temps, les enfants grandissent sans repères, sans les outils nécessaires pour accepter un NON lorsqu’il arrive vraiment.
Et pendant que la famille recule, quelqu’un d’autre prend la place : les réseaux sociaux. Toujours allumés, toujours présents. Toujours là pour dire : réagis, exagère, fais-toi remarquer. Un flux continu qui récompense l’excès, la réaction, l’humiliation. Où celui qui crie le plus fort gagne. Où l’autre n’est plus une personne mais un contenu. Une cible.
La vérité, c’est que nous sommes en train de cesser d’éduquer. Éduquer, ce n’est pas protéger de tout. C’est enseigner la limite, la responsabilité ; c’est apprendre que l’autre existe. Et que tout n’est pas permis. C’est savoir dire NON quand tout le monde dit oui.

"Pardonner en silence et choisir de ne plus jamais parler à quelqu’un, ce n’est ni de la colère ni de la rancune. C’est un acte de préservation de soi. C’est accepter de lâcher prise sur ce qui appartient au passé, sans rouvrir la porte à une souffrance inutile.
Le pardon ne signifie pas oublier…
Il signifie simplement choisir la paix pour soi-même."
Keanu Reeves

Our gross and subtle minds cannot hold our life because they are only temporary minds, and very unstable. They suddenly arise and quickly disappear like clouds in the sky. ~ Geshe Kelsang Gyatso

[Krishnamurti @JK_KFI]

Man has accepted conflict as an innate part of daily existence because he has accepted competition, jealousy, greed, acquisitiveness and aggression as a natural way of life.

When we accept such a way of life, we accept the structure of society as it is and live within the pattern of respectability. And that is what most of us are caught in, because most of us want to be terribly respectable.

When we examine our own minds and hearts—the way we think, the way we feel and how we act in our daily lives—we observe that as long as we conform to the pattern of society, life must be a battlefield.

If we do not accept it—and no religious person can possibly accept such a society—then we will be completely free from the psychological structure of society.

People asked a 100 year old man and his 98 year old wife about their health secrets.

The old man said, “I'll tell you my secret. I've been married for 75 years. I promised my wife when we got married that when we argue, the loser has to walk for 5 miles. So, I've been walking 5 miles every day for past 75 years!

People applauded and asked again, "But how come your wife is very healthy as well?"

The old man answered, "That is another secret. For 75 years every single day she has been following me to make sure I really walk the full 5 miles!"

Krishnamurti on Solitude

“It is very important to go out alone, to sit under a tree—not with a book, not with a companion, but by yourself—and observe the falling of a leaf, hear the lapping of the water, the fishermen’s song, watch the flight of a bird, and of your own thoughts as they chase each other across the space of your mind. If you are able to be alone and watch these things, then you will discover extraordinary riches which no government can tax, no human agency can corrupt, and which can never be destroyed.”

[Swami Maharaji @SwamiMaharaji]

Watch your thoughts as you watch the street traffic. People come and go; you register without response. It may not be easy in the beginning, but with some practice you will find that your mind can function on many levels at the same time and you can be aware of them all.

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

[Felsefeli @felsefeli_kitap]

Spinoza - Etika kitabından 3 ana mesaj:

1. Tanrı gökteki bir kral değil, doğanın kendisidir.
Biz evrenden ayrı değiliz; o devasa gücün içindeki küçük birer parçayız. Mucize bekleyip dua etmekle vakit kaybetmek yerine, doğayı ve işleyen sistemi tanı.

2. Duygular zayıflık değil, doğanın kendi geometrisidir. Her canlı yaşamını sürdürme dürtüsüyle (Conatus) hareket eder. Bazı duygular bu gücü yükseltir, diğerleri düşürür. Kendini yargılamadan duygularını anlamak, özündeki gücü yönetmenin ilk adımıdır.

3. Özgürlük, istediğini yapmak değil, zorunluluğu anlamaktır. Nedenleri kavradıkça, şeylerin seni yönetme gücü azalır. Rüzgarda savrulan bir yaprak, kendi isteğiyle uçtuğunu sanır; neden uçtuğunu bilmek gerçek özgürlüktür.
