  1. A quotation from Einstein

    I salute the man who is going through life always helpful, knowing no fear, and to whom aggressiveness and resentment are alien. Such is the stuff of which the great moral leaders are made who proffer consolation to mankind in their self-created miseries.
     
    [Heil dem Manne, der stets helfend durchs Leben ging, keine Furcht kannte und dem jede Aggressivität und jedes Ressentiment fremd war! Von solchem Holz sind die Idealgestalten geschnitzt, die der Menschheit Trost bieten in den Situationen selbstgeschaffenen Leidens.]

    Albert Einstein (1879-1955) German-American physicist
    Essay (1953-05-23), “Aphorisms for Leo Baeck [Neun Aphorismen], No. 1, Essays Presented to Leo Baeck on the Occasion of His Eightieth Birthday (1954) [Einstein Archives 28-962]

  3. Laws Every Scout Should Know

    Being a Scout means more than camping, hiking, and earning merit badges. Scouts are also expected to be good citizens who understand the rules and laws that help keep our communities safe and fair. While Scouts are not expected to be lawyers, learning about important laws can help them become informed and responsible leaders. 1.

  9. A quotation from Abraham Lincoln

    When the conduct of men is designed to be influenced, persuasion, kind, unassuming persuasion, should ever be adopted. It is an old and a true maxim, that a “drop of honey catches more flies than a gallon of gall.” So with men. If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend. Therein is a drop of honey that catches his heart, which, say what he will, is the great high road to his reason, and which, when once gained, you will find but little trouble in convincing his judgment of the justice of your cause, if indeed that cause really be a just one.

    Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)
    Speech (1843-02-22), Temperance Address, Washington Temperance Society, Second Presbyterian Church, Springfield, Illinois

  10. A quotation from Emerson

  14. #Love #Friendliness #Goodness #Compassion

    Love is the state of mind in which the `me' has no importance. To love is to be friendly. Do you understand, sirs? When you love you have no enmity, you cause no enmity. 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼 𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀, 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀. 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱, 𝗶𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵, 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗺𝗮𝘆 𝗴𝗼 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀, 𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿, 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗴𝗲. .... The generosity of the hand and of the heart is the beginning of friendliness; and where there is friendliness, there is no need for justice by law. Where there is friendliness there is goodness, a compassion without motive. You have been friendly occasionally, when you were not thinking about yourself, when you were not so concerned about your own country, your own problems. And when you go beyond all that, there comes something entirely different - a state in which the mind is compassionate and yet indifferent.

    Auch, ob wir uns das "jetzt schon" leisten können.

    Auch, ob wir uns das bisherige Niveau "jetzt noch" leisten können.

    I may confirm that ZAR has been the nicest country I have ever been to when it comes to smiles, good mood and friendliness. Way forward!
    And then you come back to Germany, everyone is in a grumpy mood, foreigners would be told to learn German first before being allowed to address *anything* (preferably by potatos who speak broken German themselves) and I'd be interested to learn where Germany ended in this ranking - last position?

    Exception proves the rule.

  23. I had forgotten what the internet used to be like 20 or more years ago.

    But it's just occurred to me that a couple of hours ago I asked a bunch of random strangers a fairly random question (about repairing a broken watch) and quickly got back multiple helpful and informative replies.

    This is what the net used to be like, back in the days of usenet and email lists and the early web forums. And most people have probably never experienced it at all, their impression of social media being very different from those of us here on the Fediverse.

    PS: It's probably very unfair to call you "random strangers". Even in just the 18 months I've been here I've found and chatted with people I'm happy to call friends, even though I've never met them face-to-face.

  27. CW: Alcohol

    I don't get drunk easily and I would never allow myself to.
    However, I've recently noticed that alcohol does have an effect on me, which is that I become less cynical towards people.
    That's nice from time to time, but also another reason to be careful with alcohol. It's a balancing act...

    DAS ist "nature's law": Fortschritt/Weiterentwicklung wird nur dann möglich, wenn wir unser Gewaltproblem stabil und dauerhaft lösen.

  34. @talia_christin. Patience with those folks.

    Once they figure out how to find their tweeps here, they keep feet in both places.

    I'm still in both places & everyone I follow isn't here yet. I'm excited to meet new people but not by giving up on the old. So my plan is to stay in both places until I'm satisfied important tweeps are here. I only follow 5000 pple on #birdsite.

    I'm just saying be helpful. The newness & #friendliness is what makes this place nice. Let's keep it that way.

  38. I want to express sincere gratitude as a #mastodon #newbie to the more established users, who were happily #tooting before the #TwitterExodus & #TwitterMigration kicked right off. The #WarmWelcomes to the #newcomers like me, & the kind offers of #MastodonTips #patience & general #friendliness are genuinely appreciated

    Personally speaking, this has made getting involved with my own #tooting & feeling #connected much easier, which is kind of a #BigDeal for me as a #neurodiverse #ActuallyAutistic person

    #thanks 💛✌️
