I pray for all those in harm’s way. I pray for all who desperately yearn for peace. I pray for some way out with a minimal loss of life. I pray for hope, and the wisdom of our leaders in a time of peril.
Sending love and good prayers to all innocent people of Ukraine and Russia and Europe who are caught up in this sad and corrosive moment of asymmetrical violence and destruction, especially the young people. You have done nothing to deserve this perversion and obscene spectacle.
Additions to the Wokes and Jokes debate...
Wokes don't go to comedy clubs. Jokes are safe there
Literal minded people don't understand that the meaning of a word depends on its context, not on the dictionary. That's why they don't get irony
A soh is a sense of proportion
Finally, people who believe they are morally perfect
cannot accept that they have negative emotions. So, needing to deny them in themselves, they project them into other people, and see them there
This then justifies their own bad behaviour
It's called 'Denial and Projection'
Cultivating compassion is not a religious practice focused on ensuring we go to heaven or a good future life. It’s about living a good day-to-day life here and now. It’s about being a happy person. Warm-heartedness is a fundamental good human quality.
Someone may be very rich and powerful but without any trusted friends they will never be happy. Someone else may be poor but if they are surrounded by trusting friends they’ll be happy. Therefore, taking care of others is the best way to fulfil our own interests.
You ready for a radical statement? Here we go.
An asthma inhaler that is sold to the Canadian people for just $27 should not cost the American people $242 for the EXACT SAME inhaler.
Please don’t think that compassion, love and tolerance only belong to religion. They belong to human life. From compassion we develop self-confidence; that brings inner strength, allowing us to act with transparency and candour.
One key thing I'm trying to understand is.. does 'phobic' mean 'hating'
I hear that if I don't agree with all the Woke attitudes to people who used to be called 'women', I am being 'transphobic'. Is disagreeing 'hating'?
So, if they disagree with me, are they Cleese-phobic?

Norm was in a comedy genre of his own. No one like him on this planet. Please do yourself a favor and watch his stuff. He was one of a kind of all time
