@SenThomasByrne We could have safe, secure & thriving public housing communities in Ireland like they do in Germany & Denmark & what we once had here. Be brave, have a vision, leave the profiteers behind this time. #PublicHomes#FiannaFail
When someone who is paid €96,189 by the state says on national radio that those on €18,200 should have their incomes cut you have to ask - what values underpin their politics? It’s certainly not equality, fairness or kindness #SaturdayRTE 📻
It’s useful to reflect not only on how anger, fear and suspicion destroy our peace of mind, but also on how peace of mind gives us the confidence to act honestly and truthfully. We are social animals and we need friends. We make friends on the basis of trust.
If we were really to see one another as brothers and sisters, there would be no basis for division, cheating and exploitation among us. Therefore it’s important to promote the idea of the oneness of humanity, that in being human we are all the same.
Warning: Very sad images in this article of deer dying after being tangled up in Ghost Gear. Ghost Gear is the deadliest plastic waste to marine animals in our oceans: https://t.co/ByfntOHNoY
Heart-breaking story - seal entangled in lost trawler net in Cornwall highlights the travesty caused by ‘ghost gear’ (lost or abandoned fishing gear) left in sea. Together we can stop this tragedy and clean oceans. Sign our petition today https://t.co/o5UINgKrVm
World peace can only be based on inner peace. If we ask what destroys our inner peace, it's not weapons and external threats, but our own inner flaws like anger. This is one of the reasons why love and compassion are important, because they strengthen us. This is a source of hope
Peace has a great deal to do with warm-heartedness and respect for the lives of others, avoiding doing them harm and regarding their lives as being as precious as our own. If, on that basis, we can also be of help to others, so much the better.
