Day 326 - Do you look where you put your feet?

I never used to do this because there was no need, but living on a farm you are sharing living space with many other beings like frogs, insects and snakes.  This is their home as well and this requires some consideration.

Day 325: Is Thinking the big cause of our inner pain?

What if all our personal problems can be traced back to thoughts? What if all that is needed is to stop the thoughts? There is a power in thoughts most of us do not yet realize, especially to what extent we are directed by it.

Day 320: Solitary confinement – The Torture Must End

Solitary confinement does not work. Prison is supposed to be a place to rehabilitate people and get them ready for Life when they are released, but what happens when you confine somebody for decades   and then just release them into the world?

We should have a World based on constructive and supportive methods.

Children in Solitary: A 2012 Human Rights Watch report notes: “Youth offenders often spend significant amounts of their time in US prisons isolated from the general prison population. Such segregation can be an attempt to protect vulnerable youth offenders from the general population, to punish infractions of prison rules, or to manage particular categories of prisoners, such as alleged gang members. Youth offenders frequently described their experience in segregation as a profoundly difficult ordeal.”

Day 316 - How to survive a disaster:

 What do you do when all hell breaks loose? If you ever find yourself in the middle of a natural disaster you will most likely be in a state of panic and be driven by fear and self-preservation even if that means at the cost of other people’s lives. The Question is if there is anything you can do to prevent yourself from being taken over by your fears?

Day 315 - Would you like to ride an Ostrich?

We truly are disconnected from reality. So much so that we do not consider the lives of other beings we share this life with. How long shall we continue this? Let’s not wait till its tool ate. Let’s create the change now:
