Some are suggesting Musk is creating lists of Child porn makers on twitter, who dont realise they're being filmed, 👈 so they can be blackmailed into criminal acts, like Putin compromised Trump. 👈

A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt

To accomplish almost anything worthwhile, it is necessary to compromise between the ideal and the practical.

Quoted in Drew Pearson and Robert S. Allen, “How the President Works,” Harper’s Monthly Magazine, Vol. 173 (1936-06)

https://archive.ph/jUINm "Political players need to shift ideas within the Overton window from unthinkable, to radical, to acceptable, to sensible, to popular – before they can be made policy. Last year women losing the vote was unthinkable. This year it’s radical. In some online outposts and in-person rallies and church services, it is becoming acceptable."
While pushing Overton Window to the right is widely accepted and normalised, shouldn't we (the left, and if you do not think of yourself as the left you may ignore it this post) do the same? Let's push some radical ideas that will leave some space for compromise. Like for example, forcefull reeducation for conservatives, loosing voting rights if you go to church or maybe even executing people that amass too much capital. I'm willing to compromise on a lot here, for example, instead of hard labour sentences for members of conservative parties, let's just make them illegal. I'd agree on some symbolic community service and financial punishment if there is a good offer from the other side. #left #overton #politics #compromise #us #uk #eu

A quotation from Euripides

NURSE: Terrible is the temperament of royalty,
   Who are rarely controlled, always imperious;
   It is hard for them to give up their wrath.
   To get used to living like everybody else
   Is better.
 
[ΤΡΟΦΌΣ: δεινὰ τυράννων λήματα καί πως
   ὀλίγ᾽ ἀρχόμενοι, πολλὰ κρατοῦντες
   χαλεπῶς ὀργὰς μεταβάλλουσιν.
   τὸ γὰρ εἰθίσθαι ζῆν ἐπ᾽ ἴσοισιν
   κρεῖσσον.]

Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
Medea [Μήδεια], l. 119ff (431 BC) [tr. Podlecki (1989)]

Finding Peace Amidst Holiday Chaos

A Thanksgiving Meditation

Spending time with family during the holidays or other gatherings can be challenging, as differing personalities and perspectives often clash in close quarters, and perhaps a loved one is coping with illness or the many different difficulties associated with aging. The stress of caregiving, coupled with the emotional toll of watching a loved one suffer, can feel overwhelming at times. However, integrating this meditation practice into our routine not only allows us to cultivate self-love, calm, and compassion—essential tools for navigating these potentially chaotic circumstances—but also encourages us to develop greater awareness of our emotional responses. By setting aside a few quiet moments each day to meditate, we can center ourselves, releasing the tension that may have built up, and approach family interactions with a renewed sense of understanding and patience. This deeper awareness enables us to listen more actively and respond more kindly, thereby fostering a more harmonious environment for everyone involved.

Please take a moment for yourself and enjoy this free guided meditation below, or download it to listen whenever you need a little peace and calm.

Or tune in on Insight Timer and don’t forget to hit follow! Be the first to know when fresh meditations for mental well-being and stress relief are released—your journey to tranquility awaits!

Come back to this meditation whenever you need to discover self-love and appreciation for your family, and let it guide you on the intricate journey of self-discovery and inner peace. This practice offers a sacred moment to reconnect with your true self, to embrace your unique essence, and to cultivate a profound gratitude for the love that envelops you within your family. As you immerse yourself in these soothing reflections, you will find clarity in recognizing the beauty around you and the strength that comes from nurturing both your spirit and your relationships.

Remember that we are all walking the path of life together, navigating through the twists and turns that each day brings. We are all inexperienced and learning as we go, discovering our strengths and weaknesses along the way. As we journey through life’s challenges, it’s essential to have patience with those who suffer, for their path is difficult, filled with obstacles and uncertainties. Each person carries their own burdens, and it is crucial to extend compassion, understanding, and support, recognizing that we are all striving to find our way in this intricate tapestry of existence. This shared experience can foster a sense of community, reminding us that we are not alone in our struggles and that empathy can lighten the load for those around us.
