A man pulling a woman in an old-fashioned bicycle rickshaw down a street, lined with Chinese businesses and advertisements. The scene is set during the day, under sunlight that casts shadows on the ground. People are walking by or standing along the streetside; some look directly at the camera while others engage in various activities such as talking on mobile phones.

A group of people are gathered outdoors at a beachside picnic. The scene depicts four individuals, two men and two women, sitting on the sandy ground surrounded by trees with dense foliage in what appears to be a lush forested area. They are casually dressed for leisure time; one man is wearing patterned swim shorts while another has no shirt on but sports black swimming trunks. There's a variety of food items being enjoyed – some holding plates, cups and bowls that suggest they're partaking in a meal together.

Notably, the group displays relaxed postures typical of social gatherings during picnic moments: one man is caught mid-bite with his hand near his mouth while another gazes off into space. The women are similarly involved; their expressions range from engaged to contemplative as they interact or look around them.

Various objects contribute to this setting – a pink towel hangs on the tree, adding vibrant color contrast against the verdant backdrop. There's also evidence of picnic paraphernalia: a wicker basket containing items presumably related to food preparation and consumption sits beside one woman; cups are strewn about in close proximity suggesting casual dining.

The image carries an atmosphere that reflects both tranquility and conviviality, characteristic of Frissell’s portrayal within her "Way of Life" series which aimed at capturing candid life experiences. The photograph encapsulates a moment frozen i [...]

A quotation from Eric Hoffer

The only index by which to judge a government or a way of life is by the quality of the people it acts upon. No matter how noble the objectives of a government, if it blurs decency and kindness, cheapens human life, and breeds ill will and suspicion — it is an evil government.

Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
Passionate State of Mind, Aphorism 147 (1955)

"An ethics of probability tends to crowd out an ethics of possibility."

"A technocratic approach can also be self-defeating in policy terms. Render the future too concrete and it becomes harder to think about far-reaching structural change. In the language of the anthropologist Arjun Appadurai, an ethics of probability tends to crowd out an ethics of possibility. Moreover, the precision of targets can make failures more glaring, as goals are missed and deadlines pass.This weakens commitment in adversity – a point made by sympathetic critics of a climate agenda centred on “hitting the carbon numbers”. Arguably one of the preconditions of radical politics is an element of imprecision. The anticolonial thinker and activist Frantz Fanon once warned of the “curious cult of detail” that could afflict the scientific mindset in politics, causing its bearer to lose sight of the bigger picture: “Thus, if a local defeat is inflicted, he may well be drawn into doubt, and from thence to despair.”" Jonathan White

"Ecclesiastes counsels us to embrace a simple way of life and to be led by doctrines which involve a genuine faith in God. Then we may eat our bread in gladness and drink our wine with a cheerful heart. We will not fall into slanderous speech nor be involved in anything devious; rather we should think that which is right, and, insofar as we can, we should help the poor and destitute with mercy and generosity, truly dedicated to those pursuits and good deeds which please God." ~~~ From a commentary on Ecclesiastes by Saint Gregory of Agrigentum, bishop
(Lib 8,6: PG 98, 1071-1074) in today's Office of Readings

The photograph depicts three young boys engaging in beach activities on a sunny day, as captured by American photographer Toni Frissell. The scene is set along the shoreline of Long Island's scenic beaches during the 1940s era.

In this color transparency image, each boy appears to be using a small floating device or surfboard while riding ocean waves that gently break near the shore. Their expressions and body language suggest they are enjoying themselves as they navigate through the water. The boys' clothing is indicative of mid-20th-century beachwear: swim shorts in darker shades.

The photograph's composition captures the essence of leisurely summer activities during a bygone era, showcasing both playful action and serene relaxation within an idyllic coastal setting. Frissell's work often encapsulates American life experiences with grace and elegance, as seen here through this vibrant snapshot from The Hamptons collection for Sports Illustrated.

Australia's lack of fuel security

"Our way of life
depends upon cheaper oil and fuel coming from overseas, but it does so at the cost of our security and resilience...The thought of not having food in cupboards and fridges or prescription medicines would likely exercise people's minds a lot more than the ill-informed thoughts they had during COVID about toilet paper." >>

A quotation from Bible, vol. 2, New Testament:

«
The Day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then with a roar the sky will vanish, the elements will catch fire and fall apart, the earth and all that it contains will be burnt up.
Since everything is coming to an end like this, you should be living holy and saintly lives…

Buddhism is a way of life, it is a way of ideology for self actualisation. So one can understand oneself, one can understand one’s own problem. One can improve oneself to accept reality and guide oneself to face one’s problems.
