Dignity Without Conditions
Strength without hostility.
“We must reach out our hand in friendship and dignity both to those who would befriend us and those who would be our enemy.”
Respect can coexist with firm boundaries. Save or share this. #Dignity #Leadership #EmotionalIntelligence #Respect #ConflictResolution #PersonalValues #ArthurAshe #ThoughtOfTheDay

In childhood happiness was
Of the innocence
The obvious dream.
Then the time passed...
The sky changed,
The colours of life
Darker became.
Now happiness is
And an odd
And a rare
Pleasure.
Is this adulthood?
Or, maybe, is adulthood
The oblivion of what
The heart remembers
And the mind forgets?

Of blooming flowers
I love the path
Towards the horizon
And the end
Of this day
Of May.

Oh, true love,
You heal pains
Both unbearable
And terrifying.
Your touch is gentle
But also strong.
You are powerful
But also wise.
I can't remember
How many times
You told me
That I can find you
Not only outside myself
But also inside my mind:
I can love myself.

It's raining today.
On the roofs
And on the streets,
On the fields
And on the trees,
The drops sing an ancient song,
Always rhythmic,
Never wrong.

I'd like to tell you
What I really think
And in my mind
What lives.
Flows the water
Of the river restless
And on the bank
I sit counting the drops
Like tears pouring.
And whisper I
Your name.
Because you are
The inhabitant
Of the land
That I call
My own heart.

Very disappointing is
Of the people the change
In behavior and manners
Just because of
Their envy.
Very disappointing...
Expecially when
You believe
And empathetic and good-hearted
Someone is.
A possible friendship fails
Talking about the void.
Nevertheless,
The Sun will shine
Every day.

It's harder and harder to find good news in 2025.
What's happening to the world?
I wonder if things are bad nowadays or if things have always been bad and nowadays we are more conscious of it thanks to an interconnected world.

Rare, oh it's so rare
To meet somebody
Able to understand you
So deeply that
You never feel alone.

The wind sings the breeze
Of ancient places.
The best perfumes of all...
Freedom among the Roses,
Justice among the Sunflowers,
Courage among the Tulips,
Goodness among the Snowdrops.
I'll live forever
In that field of wonders.
My eternal Spring.

The world should be better.
The world could be better.
Thanks to us or despite us... it depends on the point of view.

The old #Veritasium video about "How They Caught The Golden State Killer" https://youtu.be/KT18KJouHWg raises some important points: The genetic information stored in various databases allows identifying distantly related individuals. Most are comfortable with that idea, as long as we're catching a killer or sexual predator. But the legal frameworks that control the law enforcement access to these database are not fixed and the laws governing the access can change. Let's image that our ability to identify certain criminal tendencies from genome gets to the point we can identify potential predators or future killers even before they potentially commit these acts. It might be difficult to argue against employing such capability to pre-emptively stop crime. Going this path is an insanely slippery slope, and unfortunately much of it is out of our control anyway. So many people have already deposited their genetic material to these databases that regardless how you personally feel about it, we're all already in the databases via our relatives. Since the laws will be enacted by politicians voted to the office by the majority, individual objections will carry little weight. To make matters worse this is a highly complicated topic which is easy to twist by using populist catchphrases. I'm no pessimist by any measure but I find this moderately terrifying. #thoughtoftheday #genetics #dnasequencing #profiling #privacy
