A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt

Q. Should we discourage children from playing war games?
 
A. We might wish to discourage them, but it would be utterly useless at the present time, so we might as well give in gracefully and try to see that when war games are played they teach the lessons which we wish our children to learn — ­fair play, magnanimity in victory, courage in defeat and no hatred of peoples.

Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) First Lady of the US (1933–1945), politician, diplomat, activist
Column (1942-08), “If You Ask Me,” Ladies’ Home Journal, Vol. 59

#Google is drawing some well deserved #backlash and #hatred for this move on fora like HN. But it's too little too late. Too many among us #betrayed the community by discrediting those who raised the #alarm when it was obvious that Google would try it again. Classic #astroturfing and #sockpuppeting.

"... the #Holocaust and the #Nakba as historical traumas can be understood, acknowledged, & remembered, without constructing a kind of competition between #trauma and #victimhood, is crucial for any path to future peace and reconciliation,” “To find a way out of a destructive spiral of #hatred, #dehumanization, and #violence we must understand the long-lasting ‘shadows’ of historical traumas."

“Nididhyasana is nothing but looking at everything with the eyes of wisdom.”

The quickest way to discover the Truth is to “go rogue”.”

Hmm - sensitive are we Labour? It is not *only* muslims who are furious at your behaviour towards Gaza - and a lot of other things as well. But 500 letters won't come close to how many of us feel. Not that I have the opportunity to express my opinion on Thursday - but wait until May.

#RWNJ gun totin' nut job #Amurica is so wrapped up in #hatred for #TheLeft it conveniently blames anyone that isn't a seething foaming at the mouth member of its own #intolerance fueled #DoomLoop for the murder of its #martyr of the moment.

These #Koch fueled mini MAGAT movements and post #Charlottesville cultists get so wrapped up pointing fingers with one hand, masturbating their precious #gunstocks and zeig heiling #DearLeader with the other, never looking in the mirror at their own painfully petty prejudices and hateful hell spawn that stew and seethe in shadows.

The internal dissensions and feuds fueling #radicalized #RightWing rhetoric is what prompts violent fools like the latest guy that took out #CharlieKirk ...but the #PresidentialPropagandist #Punditry and #FauxNews keep beating the #wardrums to blame #Leftists and #LibTurds in a #Reichstag fire event, while #HolocaustDeniers and #Groypers have received free passes to dine at the #Drumpf #WhiteHouse

It's no secret #NickFuentes had been removed from both C-Pac and #TurningPointUSA events and accused Charlie Kirk of being a tool of "the Jews"... So I guess we better blame trans people for Kirk's death?

As David Gilbert wrote in Wired this week :

"For years, extremist groups, white nationalists, and militias like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers saw Charlie Kirk not as their ally, but as their enemy.

Though Kirk denigrated trans people, Muslims, unmarried women, and many minorities and advocated for an America with Christianity at the center of every aspect of life, he was, in their view, a moderate. For some, his staunch support of Israel’s government made Kirk a target rather than a friend."

A quotation from Wendell Berry

It is useless to try to adjudicate a long-standing animosity by asking who started it or who is the most wrong. The only sufficient answer is to give up the animosity and try forgiveness, to try to love our enemies and to talk to them and (if we pray) to pray for them. If we can’t do any of that, then we must begin again by trying to imagine our enemies’ children who, like our children, are in mortal danger because of enmity that they did not cause.

Wendell Berry (b. 1934) American farmer, educator, poet, conservationist

A quotation from Bill Watterson

   CALVIN: I’m writing a fund-raising letter. The secret to getting donations is to depict everyone who disagrees with you as the enemy. Then you explain how they’re systematically working to destroy everything you hold dear. It’s a War of Values! Rational discussion is hopeless! Compromise is unthinkable! Our only hope is well-funded antagonism, so we need your money to keep up the fight!
   HOBBES: How cynically unconstructive.
   CALVIN: Enmity sells.

Bill Watterson (b. 1958) American cartoonist

1) Return her books & say why you're refusing to sell them
2) Recommend the competition, 3) tell people to only buy her stuff USED. and, obviously, DON'T WATCH HARRY POTTER MOVIES duh

Quote of the day, 15 March: Silvio José Báez, ocd

“Love your enemies” (Mt 5:44). This does not mean feeling sympathy or affection for those who have harmed us. Rather, it means refusing to hate, seeking no revenge, and being willing to do good to those who do not love us or have wronged us. It means loving with the same love with which God loves us.

Loving an enemy should not be confused with the demand that the guilty party be held accountable before a court of law.

This is not hypocrisy.

One may still feel antipathy and rejection toward the wrongdoer, but one chooses to go beyond feelings—deciding not to seek revenge or harbor hatred, and, if necessary, even to do good to them and pray for them. This is a gift from God.

Love for one’s enemy does not exclude but rather presupposes the need for the guilty party to face justice.

Silvio José Báez, O.C.D.

Auxiliary Bishop of Managua

A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

Never regard something as doing you good if it makes you betray a trust, or lose your sense of shame, or makes you show hatred, suspicion, ill will, or hypocrisy, or a desire for things best done behind closed doors.
 
[Μὴ τιμήσῃς ποτὲ ὡς συμφέρον σεαυτοῦ, ὃ ἀναγκάσει σέ ποτε τὴν πίστιν παραβῆναι, τὴν αἰδῶ ἐγκαταλιπεῖν, μισῆσαί τινα, ὑποπτεῦσαι, καταράσασθαι, ὑποκρίνασθαι, ἐπιθυμῆσαί τινος τοίχων καὶ παραπετασμάτων δεομένου.]

Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher

A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

Never regard something as doing you good if it makes you betray a trust, or lose your sense of shame, or makes you show hatred, suspicion, ill will, or hypocrisy, or a desire for things best done behind closed doors.
 
[Μὴ τιμήσῃς ποτὲ ὡς συμφέρον σεαυτοῦ, ὃ ἀναγκάσει σέ ποτε τὴν πίστιν παραβῆναι, τὴν αἰδῶ ἐγκαταλιπεῖν, μισῆσαί τινα, ὑποπτεῦσαι, καταράσασθαι, ὑποκρίνασθαι, ἐπιθυμῆσαί τινος τοίχων καὶ παραπετασμάτων δεομένου.]

Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 3, ch. 7 (3.7) [tr. Hays (2003)]
