Man skal være - tror jeg visst -
realist, men på en måte fatalist
og i grunnen optimist
samt fremfor alt og først og sist
idealist.

It is important to cultivate the inner values of patience, tolerance, forgiveness, contentment, and self-discipline. These inner values help us to remain calm and composed in difficult situations and to be free from the negative emotions of anger, jealousy and hatred.

When they are young, children love to smile and readily respond to compassion. We must find ways to keep these qualities alive so they maintain a compassionate attitude and learn how to tackle anger as they grow up. Time at school should include methods to achieve peace of mind

Awful news that the great Pelé has been moved to end-of-life palliative care after he stopped responding to chemotherapy. The only footballer in history to win 3 World Cups, and an icon of the game at the level of Muhammad Ali in boxing. So sad. 🥲

This analysis of #Omicron by @ddiamond is the clearest I’ve read.
Bottom line: if you don’t get fully vaccinated incl booster, you’re now playing Russian Roulette with your life. 👇👇👇👇

The Italian version of "break a leg" for good luck is "in culo alla balena!" which means "in the whale's ass!".

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

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.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

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.

Vito Perillo, a 97-year-old World War II veteran in New Jersey, won a second term as mayor of the borough of Tinton Falls. He is believed to be the oldest mayor in the U.S. — when he leaves office, he will be 101. https://t.co/JJpRmydhXh

Consider the house of mirrors.

The intention is to blend with the landscape.

One unintended result is energy efficiency is much higher.

Only one region of Finland has a single official language (Aland Islands), and that language is Swedish.

The brazen hypocrisy over Newcastle United’s sale to the Saudis is laughable.
I’d lay good money that every sportswriter currently expressing their moral revulsion will be at the World Cup in Qatar.
