"Democracy and #Constitution will doom #India oneday"
A growing & concerning sentiment among a demography that's too #privileged to have suffered #persecution under a #dictatorship or had to #sacrifice anything for their #freedom. It's delusional to expect a #dictator to take wise, impartial & just decisions or even respect your #HumanRights after you foolishly hand them #authority.
#Democracy works where others don't! But you can't be lazy & hand #governance to someone else!

As I understand, yoga, meditation, equality, & viewing the forest as sacred came from the Indus Valley Civilisation (proto-Dravidian) and AASI/tribal peoples, in contrast to the caste-hierarchical, fire-sacrificing, horse-and-plains culture of the Vedic Indo-Aryans.

I suggest that the real objective of Socialism is not happiness. Happiness hitherto has been a by-product, and for all we know it may always remain so. The real objective of Socialism is human brotherhood. This is widely felt to be the case, though it is not usually said, or not said loudly enough. Men use up their lives in heart-breaking political struggles, or get themselves killed in civil wars, or tortured in the secret prisons of the Gestapo, not in order to establish some central-heated, air-conditioned, strip-lighted Paradise, but because they want a world in which human beings love one another instead of swindling and murdering one another. And they want that world as a first step. Where they go from there is not so certain, and the attempt to foresee it in detail merely confuses the issue.
George Orwell (1903-1950) English journalist, essayist, writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]

Boris #Pistorius, German Defense Minister widely seen as a supporter of #Ukraine is willing to #sacrifice Ukranian #civilians lives rather than provide the necessary weapons (Taurus long range missiles) that Ukraine needs to stop Putin.
#friendsOfUkraine like this result in dead #Ukranians.
Imagine what Trump and Republicans are doing to help Putin kill innocent civilians. #evil

Woodrow Wilson’s New Freedom promised our nation a new political and economic framework. Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal promised security and succor to those in need. But the New Frontier of which I speak is not a set of promises — it is a set of challenges. It sums up not what I intend to offer the American people, but what I intend to ask of them. It appeals to their pride, not to their pocketbook — it holds out the promise of more sacrifice instead of more security.
John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) American politician, author, journalist, US President (1961–63)

As a sacrificial lamb I know the heart of the sacrificed on the altar of obedience. It is not for me to judge. It is for me live. That space that I carry out into the world echoes the cries of all those whose existence was doubted, then separated, then persecuted, then erased.

A quotation from Robert Ingersoll
All the martyrs in the history of the world are not sufficient to establish the correctness of an opinion. Martyrdom, as a rule, establishes the sincerity of the martyr, — never the correctness of his thought. Things are true or false in themselves. Truth cannot be affected by opinions; it cannot be changed, established, or affected by martyrdom. An error cannot be believed sincerely enough to make it a truth.
Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, freethinker, orator
Lecture (1881-05-01) “The Great Infidels,” Booth’s Theater, New YorkMore about this quote: wist.info/ingersoll-robert-gre…

I can't remember who said it, but someone said that #MAGA and the #GOP in general, asked for nothing from you, just your #vote. You don't have to change who you are, you don't have to improve yourself, you don't have to #sacrifice anything. You don't have to help anyone, self examine, or put yourself in anyone else's shoes. Just give us your vote. This is their number 1 appeal. They will just rob you on the back end and have you lose everything after it happens to the "right people" first -

A quotation from Adlai Stevenson
Sacrifice, patience, understanding, and implacable purpose may be our lot of years to come. Let’s face it. Let’s talk sense to the American people. Let’s tell them the truth, that there are no gains without pains, that there — that we are now on the eve of great decisions, not easy decisions, like resistance when you’re attacked, but a long, patient, costly struggle which alone can assure triumph over the great enemies of man — war, poverty, and tyranny — and the assaults upon human dignity which are the most grievous consequences of each.
Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965) American diplomat, statesman
Speech (1952-07-26), Democratic National Convention, ChicagoMore about this quote: wist.info/stevenson-adlai-ewin…

Love is where you value someone else more than yourself, and are willing to make sacrifices for them. If the point of a marriage is to get things for yourself (children, money, etc), which can include both romantic and arranged marriages, it's a greed/lust marriage.
