A Happy Heart makes the face Free!!

Posted on October 6, 2017 by Rod's World

Danielle LaPorte says that when you are living from your joy and working for meaningfulness, you are:

A. WAY more healthy and effective

B. SO much more fun to be around (Hello love and magnetism)

C. MUCH more able to make a contribution to the world around you.

You can look at it this way, in epic proportions: The planet needs you to be working from your joy, Humanity depends on you doing what’s meaningful to you. The future of civilization is counting on your fulfilling. No pressure. Here’s the micro perspective: You deserve to be lit up by what you do in the world. it’s your life.

There has been much said about being free and clear in our lives, here’s my selection:

1. Pharrell Williams sings of the right to be happy in our lives, here is his suggestion how to achieve that state.

2. Which definition of free calls to you: Hello.

3. I am designing a workshop called Sacred Love Stories that increases peoples abilities to tell those stories that we think of people knew about us they would never talk to us again.

4. Ah, The French, they do great quotes and philosophy as well as movies in my humble opinion: Clear Conscience.

5. Show the world what lives in your heart, you are worth it!!

6. From the great bard Anonymous another beautiful ode to being free and clear: Temporary Life.

7. Another favourite depiction of what Danielle is talking about!!

8. Loved that film it’s a Beautiful Life: Beautiful Life.

9. Do not get caught up in their maze of madness. Live in your own story – Beautiful Words.

10. I am excited about Today, Yay: Friday.

11. If you make no mistakes, are you officially alive?

12. Try a little ….., not why me: Try Me.

13. What is calling you, for me it is Love and Respect for All: Everyone Included.

14. Uncle Jim gets to the point immediately, how do you get lit up in the world and is it a happening thing at the moment: Riptide.

15. Not sure why I chose this one. We are all students and teachers, get out there and fulfill life.

So Danielle finishes with the idea here is to see what lights you up, so that you can plan to fell-have-do and experience more of that in your life, Ready, Steady, Go.

Namaste until next time, my dear friends around the world from Melbourne, Australia

I am willing to witness my Fear!!

How do you experience Miracles? The more you choose gratitude, forgiveness and love, the more miracles you expect to experience in your life. A miracle can be a moment when you give up a resentment you have held on to with a sibling for years and years, or losing that jib free you up to follow your true calling. It’s like choosing fear over love, each time you do this you have performed a miracle for all the people involved.

How has society defined a miracle over time, here is the definition currently used

Miracle:

an extraordinary and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore attributed to a divine agency.

“the miracle of rising from the grave”

synonyms: supernatural phenomenon, mystery, prodigy, sign

“his first miracle was to turn water into wine”
- a remarkable event or development that brings very welcome consequences.
  
  “it was a miracle that more people hadn’t been killed”
- an exceptional product or achievement, or an outstanding example of something.
  
  “a machine which was a miracle of design”
  
  synonyms: wonder, marvel, sensation, phenomenon, astonishing feat, amazing achievement
  
  “Germany’s economic miracle”
So what have people said over time about it, let’s have a look:

1. The first one sounds like the Just Do It mentality, the latter that you could live an extraordinary life, go Albert.

2. Mum Coach Mia Redrick puts it down to thoughts creating miracles. I think it also required body activation: You Sexy Thing.

3. You are nearly there, and baby it’s getting tough in the bleachers.

4. Another way of saying everything is a miracle or a gift from the curly haired wise man: Don’t Wait.

5. This type of love seems to be a miracle these days. Inhale it in!!

6. The possibility of magnificence, awaken your spirit to this and the miracle will flow in: So Much Magnificence.

7. Where is your change room? In your head or your heart.

8. Drink it in, Yes, this is true. So you have had at least one miracle occur in your life. Let’s get out there and create some others: Great Balls of Fire.

9. They say the way to enlightenment is to give up everything you know. This then allows for possibility to enter it.

10. Looking up who Rebecca West was I just had to include this quotes as well: People call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat or a prostitute.: Hard out Here.

11. Make this a real part of your day.

12. Looking for your miracles, remember to focus on your why as well: Start with Why.

13. I just loved this images, it needs no words to be miraculous.

14. The worlds greatest miracle: the birth of our offspring.

15. They say there is an experiment that can be done that demonstrates people who have taken the same way to work for years do not notice over 50 percent of what they pass by. Time to see the miracles.

Miracles are held to be humongous, and that is why people do not declare their lives as being so. I think it time to take on From Little Things, Big Things Grow.

Namaste until next time, my dear friends.

You can Play a Shoestring if you’re Sincere!!

I’m reading s great book called The Big Little Book of Resilience by Matthew Johnstone at the moment. Matthew wrote and illustrated it. It is subtitled How to Bounce back from adversity and lead a fulfilling Life. Each page has a little bit of wisdom with a supportive image.

Accepting what we can and cannot change is one of the most important aspects of understanding resilience. it’s learning to work with and grow what’s right in our lives while accepting, but not putting all our energy into , what’s not.

So bringing sincerity into our lives allows us to see what are our rights and what will empower us. Lets have a look at what people have said about rights over the years:

1. Standing up for your rights means that you do not have to offend or please others all the time, It gives you time to consider them.

2. This brave young woman has raised the voices of half the world’s population: Roar.

3. You have the right to…. it’s up to you, whatever you listen to in your mind takes hold.

4. I have difficulty with one of these, guess which one: Same Love.

5. Our voices are given to us for a reason, It’s you time to use it.

6. I say this to you all, you can do it, you rock: I will Survive.

7. As a race, we have a fair way to go with this one.

8. This year, I became a tutor to three Chinese mothers. Before I did this I didn’t realize who little I know about other cultures on the planet and how much my group of friends is from the one culture: Where is The Love.

9. Mainstream media, Whilst in the hospital with my mum I unfortunately had to view it. The word puerile and the meaning of this question come to mind.

10. As it say above, be a voice. This period of time in raising your your children cannot be taken back without some serious therapy bills if you stuff it up: Teach Your Children Well.

11. How do millions of people turn into killers during the time of war. Often they were neighbors who had lived next to each other peacefully for years and years. The above sentence speaks very loudly.

12. The federal government in my home country, Australia seem to have forgotten this, they are about to implement a national Grade 1 grammar test: Better Place.

13. This haunting image could not let me not include it.

14. I spent many months contemplating this during my dark times. It was not Erin but Ruth and Jann and Hugo who said this to me, not in such dramatic style, but I heard it: Stay.

15. Perhaps best known for the remark in a letter to an Anglican bishop, “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men. Donald Trump, or Nelson Mandela who will be remembered in the year 3030?

So I am imploring you to realize that you have rights and you have a voice. It’s our time, Its up to Us, Because we Can.

Namaste, until next time, my dear friends.

Energy is Everything!!

Posted on September 14, 2017 by Rod's World

“In every moment the universe is conspiring to bring me toward Right-Minded Thinking and the energy of Love” – Gabby Bernstein.

Love, it has its inner energy source that shines on you. How do you let it shine on your community, is it a hard slog or does it spread beyond all boundaries? If you spread love you attract people, things and situations that match the energy you are putting out. As you improve yourself and raise your vibration, the more you will receive things that are beneficial to your well-being.

What wisdom has the energy of love drawn to it over time, let’s have a look:

1. Sister Corita, nun, activist and artist. Her artwork, with its messages of love and peace, was particularly popular during the social upheavals of the 1960s and 1970s. As both a nun and a woman making art in the twentieth century, she was in many ways cast to the margins of the different movements she was a part of.

2. Have you ever seen one of your friends and thought, they’re beaming, they must be in Love. Works best when you include yourself: Shine on Me.

3. I don’t know how many times I have watched Jim Carrey’s great talk on this exact subject. Have a look – Fear or Love.

4. Our second Catholic entry. Pierre was pilloried by the Catholic church and made to leave his teaching position and sign a statement withdrawing his controversial statement regarding Original sin. He believed in the power of Love like that other fellow Jesus did: Across the Universe.

5. Love life, not things.

6. You notice when people emanating love enter a room, they light it up: When you walk in the Room.

7. The big man, just say I: used to raise your energy level every few minutes. Love is the ultimate form of it.

8. Starseed, that’s what they say we all are at the source: Starman.

9. I love, Love is the tool, so Yummy.

10. Have you seen the picture of Sai Baba pouring diamonds out of his hands, here it is: Sai Baba.

11. Inside itself we create the energy of Love.

12. Time to get infected by the power of Love: The Power of Love.

13. Its the glue that sticks it all together. L-O-V-E.

14. Another way of saying it that is universally recognised, is simply Namaste: Mahamantra.

15. Which 750,000 will you counterbalance, Thankyou.

When we lean towards love, we are led.

Namaste until next time, my dear friends.

But I drink Champagne Now!!

“My Energy Creates My Reality. What I Focus On Is What I Will Manifest”

One of Gabbi Bernsteins excellent The Universe has my Back 52 card deck. What creates your reality. It is said a truly strong person does not need the approval of others anymore than a lion needs the approval of sheep. If you spend your life creating your reality by seeking other people’s approval before you take action you minimize what you are likely to achieve in your life. It’s fine to form partnerships with others to achieve your goals and dreams but do not hand the manifestation over to them.

There have been many different realities over our history, what did people have to say about it:

1. There are 7 billions opinions on earth even though mainstream media is trying to change this. Remember the more you love your decisions, the less you need others to love them.

2. Sometime reality hammers us, it is in these moments that relating to your dreams becomes very important. getting the negativity out of your life at these moments is essential: Expectations versus Reality.

3. The world’s greatest philosopher Ms. Unknown reminds us that we are the creators of our own unique canvas. Will yours hang in the Louvre or on the backdoor of your toilet?

4. Parents are often surprised when their children start dropping the F bomb, words have power: That Power.

5. Wagner’s life was characterised by political exile, turbulent love affairs, poverty and repeated flight from his creditors. His controversial writings on music, drama and politics have attracted extensive comment, notably, since the late 20th century, where they express antisemitic sentiments. The effect of his ideas can be traced in many of the arts throughout the 20th century; his influence spread beyond composition into conducting, philosophy, literature, the visual arts and theatre.

6. From the author of Think and Grow Rich, which is amongst the top ten selling self help books of all time come some sage advice at to what your thoughts are capable of: Wild Thoughts.

7. One of my top ten, Wayne Dyer, the full quote is you create your thoughts, your thoughts create your intentions and your intentions create your reality.

8. Not only a bugger for the bottle, Aristotle, way back in the Third Century B.C. knew the importance of knowledge and education in creating our realities; Pretty Hurts.

9. Every day in every way, that’s how powerful our skill of creating our reality is.

10. Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavati founded the Kashi Ashram, “an international interfaith community based on kindness, compassion and service”, in Florida in 1976. With this background she was obviously trying to affect the religious reality of the day that religions are separate from each other, more the one god theory: Ordinary Day.

11. It must have taken some pretty powerful imagining to sit under the Bodhi Tree and reach enlightenment.

12. How much energy do we waste regretting things that have happened in our past lives. It deprives us of the freshness we need to build the new structures we require to move forward: Future/Past.

13. Then reality can be confusing. I am a one on one English tutor and you should see some of the looks my students give me when I try and explain words that are spelt the same and mean entirely different things.

14. Known for her powerfully insightful quotes and poetry Anita Krizzan beseeches us to listen well when our reality begins to cause us pain: Hurt.

15. The journey to fulfilling your dream has a few requirements, this is one of them.

“Be yourself. If you water down to please people or to fit in or to not offend anyone, you lose the power, the passion, the freedom and the joy of being uniquely you, It’s much easier to love yourself when you are being yourself. – Dan Coppersmith

Welcome to Reality.

Namaste until next time, my dear friends.

Note to Self : Stop Expecting!!

Posted on September 4, 2017 by Rod's World

” The reason many people in our society are miserable, sick , and highly stresses is because of an unhealthy attachment to things they have no control over.” – Steve Maraboli

Luminita Saviuc states that in every instance of transformation, the transformative insight was always one that led her to letting go , surrendering and giving up, in the best sense possible. And perhaps out of all the self-sabotaging habits of thought and behaviour, the one that’s far too common is our desire to control aspects of our reality that are actually beyond our control.

I can speak from experience that staying in control can be costly, as I have experienced several mental health periods in my life which I fought seeking the help that I needed to restore the balance in my life.

So how do we relate to control in our society. let’s take a peek:

1. This reminds me of the Activation work where we get in touch with our Essence in life I do with my mentor Arion Light: Link to the Source.

2. The history of psychedelics dates back tens of thousands of years, it is only in the past 100 years that there has been scientific and counterculture interest in these substances. They were originally used to obtain transcendental experiences: Purple Haze.

3. This is one form of control it would be a great thing to let go of, refusing to get back up.

4. The soul is harder to hear when you are controlling what enters your heart: Keeping Your Head UP.

5. To achieve this those mental controls of fear and anxiety must go.

6. When the controls are gone, we can sing relax don’t do it: Frankie sings it.

7. And yet, there are profoundly powerful acts of control that we need in our life.

8. We often lose control when we just don’t want to wait anymore, and say that’s enough. Remember that what people talk about on their death beds is what they regret usually, not what they celebrate: No Regrets.

9. What would our lives be like if we were so in control that we were incapable of giving back?

10. Sarah Dessen is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of over a dozen novels for teens, which have received numerous awards and rave reviews. Her books have been published in over thirty countries and have sold millions of copies worldwide: You’re the one that I Want.

11. Ah, the women who introduced the term The Work to the world. Another pearl of wisdom: Let Life live you – It does anyway.

12. Hard to drive your car of dreams with four flat tires, isn’t it.: Flat Tire.

13. Or even not knowing what you don’t know!!

14. A way to make sure that people stop relating to you from a position of power: Stop Complaining.

15. A possibility if we set our controls for the heart of the sun.

” So don’t be frightened, dear friend, if a sadness confronts you larger than you have ever known, casting its shadow all over you do. You must think that something is happening within you, and remember that life has not forgotten you; it holds you in its hand and will not let you fall. Why would you want to exclude from your life any uneasiness, any pain, any depression, since you don’t know what work they are accomplishing within you? – Rainer Maria Rilke

Namaste until next time, my dear friends

In Life you have Three Choices!!

Posted on August 31, 2017 by Rod's World

” Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anyone else expects of you. Never excuse yourself – Henry Ward Beecher”

I don’t know if I ever saw myself as someone who came up with excuses. The way I saw it, Life treated me unkindly, and If I was living an unhappy life it wasn’t because of me. It wasn’t because I was making up excuses, but because that’s how my life was. I was just being “realistic.”

The opening lines of chapter 4 in Luminita Saviuc’s aka The Purpose Fairies beautiful book 15 Things you should give up to be Happy – An Inspiring Guide to Discovering Effortless Joy Book Link.. I chose chapter four because it is about giving up and I am in the throes of giving up on my much loved workshop project. I am enquiring into what has got me to this point at the moment so what does society say about giving up on our dreams; down the trail we go:

1. If that dream is well entrenched in your psyche, whatever life throws at you won’t stop you, there will be no excuse that will get in the way.

2. Stop listening to them, they are total BS: No Bullshit.

3. MLK, Nelson Mandela and Mother Teresa had the same amount of time in their lives as we do each day, they did not give up on their dreams, why do so many people?

4. How many people who were important in your life a few years ago have disappeared overtime. Those who stayed made the effort: Love the Way you Lie.

5. At One Roof, a women’s coworking space in my home city of Melbourne, there is a quote which goes like this: An entrepreneur jumps off the cliff and builds the plane on the way down. Get the drift?

6. Usually it takes a disaster like the one occurring in Houston at the moment to make these words irrelevant for most people, don’t be one of them: Never to Busy.

7. Anti graffiti them off your mental walls.

8. Supreme guitar player and street philosopher, Carlos Santana gets in our faces: Evil Ways.

9. Take these up as daily practices and you will find it harder and harder to give up.

10. Listen, that’s your heart speaking to you. It’s not into the excuses your mind comes up with from your past: High for This.

11. Nobody knows what you want except you, Fuck Yeah!!!

12. When I used to train for the 4 marathons I ran in a life a long time ago after the first four kilometres I ran I had this incredible urge to stop running. I did several times but overcame it which allowed me to get to the fitness level I needed to complete the 42 kilometres that a marathon is: Stronger.

13. Florence Nightingale is responsible for the founding of modern nursing, to overcome the male superiority belief that was prevalent in the 1800 and 1900’s Florence would have to definitely walked the talk of the above quote.

14. No time to get lost: Find a Way.

15. Defeat does not mean it’s all over, you can always get back up and continue towards your dream.

” All excuses are misalignment. Words like “difficult,” “risky,” “can’t,” “too weak,” ” too dumb” and “too complicated” do not apply to the divine mind. I urge you to reharmonize with energy that can do anything and everything, for that is your original nature.

Wayne Dyer

Namaste until next time, my dear friends.

I’m sorry I can’t be Beautiful!!

Posted on August 28, 2017 by Rod's World

When I choose a subject to ponder on , I also use one of the other quotes as the title of my blog. I think I’m sorry I can’t be beautiful says a lot about perfection and the journey it can take us on and the damage it can cause in our lives.

I am reading a summary of Tim Ferriss’s The Four Hour Week at the moment, I have the book on hold at the library, which I will pick up after completing this blog. I love the section on elimination of things to gain time back in your life nearly as much as the section in Danielle LaPorte’s Daily Planner where is asks you what are you going to stop in your life to attain your goals. Having to do this each day makes you think at a whole new level.

So, can we reach perfection? A better question is what do you personally think it is, let’s travel down the path of the 15 quotes:

1. Well, that surprised me, Gerrit is one of the Presidency of the Seventy of the Church of Jesus Christ and the Latter Day Saints AKA The Mormons. Religious orders often point towards the combining of goodness and perfection.

2. Is reality separate from perfection. From the ads that embolden mainstream media one would think so: Not Perfect.

3. That other P word that gets tied to perfection that stops us living our dreams on a lot of occasions.

4. Unperfect, what a beautiful word. Let’s take it on for the day: Perfectly Imperfect.

5. Baby, we were born to run , not stand still in perfect posture.

6. From Canada comes a great example of when people really strive for perfection, some even lie: Get a Job.

7. That’s why they say you can never reach something you already are.

8. Quick, somebody tell them they will never catch it: I could not ask for More.

9. A fact for each of us to remember during our unique lives.

10. I don’t like the concept of boring, I relate it to taking the cheap way out of what is going on in your life: Fun.

11. Jaron is an interesting dude. He works for Microsofts, was one of the pioneers of Virtual Reality technology and composes Classical music on rare wind and string instruments, releasing his CD Instruments of Change in 1994.

12. Perspective not Perfection will move you down the path towards your dreams: Tumbling Dice.

13. Lots and Lots and Lots, very little.

14. And when is that one perfect moment. The only time it can be as per Eckhart Tolle – bring on the power of Now: The Power of Now.

15. We discover that our lives are moving targets, not a great deal of standing still included, always on the move.

I might take back the title, the more I think about it, I see each person a perfect image of who she or he should be at that exact moment. Tough to comprehend sometimes.

Namaste until next time, my dear friends.

Do the right Thing!!

Posted on August 24, 2017 by Rod's World

There is a basic connection among people, who all fundamentally want the same things: to be appreciated, to belong, to feel good about themselves, to make a difference. I am reading William Baker and Michael O’Malley’s great book Leading with Kindness: How good people consistently get superior results. Kindness is an apropos term to apply to leadership because it implies precisely such root connections among people engaged in meaningful reciprocal relationships.

They state that kindness is made up from six virtues, these are Compassion, Integrity, Gratitude, Authenticity, Humility and Humour. Quite a good mix to bring to leadership , I think. So what have we said about kindness over the centuries, let’s take a wee gander:

1. Imagine if every soldier on the planet did this instead of firing their weapon in anger, let’s start the revolution today.

2. Kindness is funny, you can’t buy it, it seems to have no pricetag, but once given to somebody it is rarely forgotten: Change.

3. Be’s and But’s from Jim Rohn, one of the doyens of the personal development movement that has transformed the business world.

4. You are never too busy to partake in this mighty, mighty adventure: Better Together.

5. When my dad died , we gave most of his possessions to charity, the people at his funeral were there because he was a kind generous soul.

6. Reading this has me ponder, how often do I do this in my instant gratification filled life: Strong.

7. So do I.

8. How deep is the depth and passion of your kindness, what gets in the way: Kindness is a Muscle.

9. There it is, in the silence of the actions that make it up,

10. Cute kid and animal post, the kindness in it oozes right out of the image: Someone Like You.

11. Leading by example, you don’t need the CEO title after your name.

12. How did you choose the leaders in your life. Are all your bosses and power points amongst them, not in mine: Everybody.

13. We are born free, one of the traits we get given is kindness which we display openly as young children, what happens later on?

14. I call it Interculturalism: Love and respect for All – Everyone Included: What I Am.

15. Yes, let’s be both.

Albert Schweitzer said ” Example is not the main thing in influencing others it is the only thing, I’ll finish with those powerful words.

Namaste until next time, my dear friends.

Kempashen, give a piece of your heart!!

Posted on August 21, 2017 by Rod's World

The lead article in my local paper, The preston leader is titled Seeking Compassion. it is about 20 grade six students at the Holy Name School who sent letters to the paper seeking compassion for asylum seekers to our country who have been in detention centres for up to four years.

Our major support for these people, The Asylum Seekers Resource Centre said it was exciting to see young people getting engaged. ” It shows how much capacity all of us have to respond to issues in our society from an angle that’s compassionate, that respects people’s dignity and their humanity,” they said.

So, how compassionate are you on a day to day basis. or a bigger question could be how much is our society? let’s look at what they say about it:

1. I’m thinking they relate ears to compassion in that when we hear an opportunity to show compassion, it’s time to take action.

2. The ultimate compassion in life, Self Love, this allows you to never hurt another: Who Says

3. The person on earth who is best known for his compassion, HHDL, links compassion directly to our ability to be happy.

4. That smile that you just gave to the stranger you passed in the street just healed an age old wound. Yes, it really did, thank you for doing that: Heal the Wound.

5. Robert Lee Frost (March 26, 1874 – January 29, 1963) was an American poet. He is highly regarded for his realistic depictions of rural life and his command of American colloquial speech. His work frequently employed settings from rural life in New England in the early twentieth century, using them to examine complex social and philosophical themes.

6. Such a cute photo. More beautiful words from HHDL. If only our other world leaders thought in the same way: Where is the Love.

7. Thích Nhất Hạnh, born as Nguyễn Xuân Bảo on October 11, 1926 is a Vietnamese Buddhist monk and peace activist.

Thích Nhất Hạnh lives in Plum Village in Thailand, travelling internationally to give retreats and talks. He coined the term “Engaged Buddhism” in his book Vietnam: Lotus in a Sea of Fire. After a long term of exile, he was given permission to make his first return trip to Vietnam in 2005.

Nhất Hạnh has published more than 100 books, including more than 40 in English. He is active in the peace movement, promoting nonviolent solutions to conflict and he also refrains from animal product consumption as a means of non violence towards non-human animals.

8. That person in the mirror, they’re your bestie: Best friendship song.

9. Loving Kindness is a style of meditation that can transform your relationship to another, research it on google.

10. Compassion doesn’t just happen, you have to take a strong stand for it in your life and be keenly aware of it’s relationship to the others in your life: Interdependent.

11. I just fell in love with Prince for this beautiful quote.

12. Remember this when you are getting dressed in the morning: The Long Way Around.

13. Karen Armstrong won the $100,000 Ted prize, this is what she did with it:

The Charter for Compassion is a document that urges the peoples and religions of the world to embrace the core value of compassion. The charter currently is available in more than 30 languages and has been endorsed by more than two million individuals around the globe.

Charter for Compassion International, the Charter’s supporting organization, has enrolled 311 communities in 45 countries in its Compassionate Communities campaign and has partnered with more than 1,300 organizations to spread the Charter’s message of compassion in 10 sectors: the arts, business, education, environment, healthcare, peace, religion/spirituality/interfaith, science & research, social sciences and restorative justice. There is no cost to affirm the Charter.

14. This is the cutest vegan statement I have seen about compassion towards our fellow non human creatures: Song for Love.

15. Immanuel Kant was a German philosopher who is a central figure in modern philosophy. Kant argued that the human mind creates the structure of human experience, that reason is the source of morality, that aesthetics arises from a faculty of disinterested judgment, that space and time are forms of our sensibility, and that the world as it is “in-itself” is independent of our concepts of it. Kant took himself to have effected a “Copernican revolution” in philosophy, akin to Copernicus’ reversal of the age-old belief that the sun revolved around the earth. His beliefs continue to have a major influence on contemporary philosophy, especially the fields of metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, political theory, and aesthetics.

I have meet many people who show no compassion towards asylum seekers, the first question I always ask them is, have you ever met an asylum seeker and talked to them. Sadly, the answer is usually no. And then there are people filled with compassion towards them who would also answer no, the difference being their compassion level.

Namaste until next time my dear friends.
