The Gaza-based Community Training Center for Crisis Management, supported by War Child Alliance, surveyed more than 500 Palestinian children in Gaza last June and found that 96% of them fear imminent death, 92% are not accepting of reality, 79% suffer from nightmares, 77% avoid discussing traumatic events, 73% display signs of aggression, 49% wish to die because of the war, and many more “show signs of withdrawal and severe anxiety, alongside a pervasive sense of hopelessness.”

Children aren’t stupid. And any who survive will have a long road toward healing, both physical and mental.

And this is how “terrorists” (freedom fighters) are made.

Is the patient in MODS?

You jest but medical examiners/coroners are paid off all the time.

Thank you.

I have a love-hate relationship with that song. I’ll have to purge with a doco later, thanks! 😁

I would love to see this, FOSS .

Absolutely. I feel empathy for the United CEOs family, while also recognizing they are going to be financially fine. They also have a chance to reflect on any grief and how affected families may not be sympathetic for valid reasons. Whether they do or not depends on whether they value healing, or greed/retribution.

Depends who’s looking. Most of the poor and middle class asking align with my views, if I don’t say scary words like "communist” and “socialist”; Those with huge incomes might have a problem. And my ex who aligns with my views but votes against them because they somehow think these people care about them.

Class solidarity is exactly what we need, and if billionaires and multimillionaires break rank to join us, we most certainly can welcome them, with caution of course.

Body guard or the person that watches flagged videos.

I believe so. Purity of heart is cultivating authentic “goodness.” That is, doing the “right thing” for the sake of the thing, not for reward or recognition, although that may be a by-product. Not necessarily “right” by social standards, while also recognizing that what is right for you may not be, for someone else. I noticed you said later you hold a Christian perspective. Jesus said the well don’t need doctors. He was a champion of the poor, outcast, and women. He forgave what temple authority wouldn’t. He interceded for his murderers. I would also refer you to the 51 Psalm.

And air, livable temperatures, clean water, clean food. It’s not an easy choice but this lady saw the big picture, beyond the immediate. I don’t know your situation. I do know ours, globally

Ah yes, who needs a planet when they have money?

Some religions -old and new - believe we choose the lessons we come to learn. If we learn quickly, we can advance to more advanced lessons, if we refuse or aren’t capable of understanding our lessons, we repeat them, in one life or another. Just as settings, teachers and teaching styles vary, so do the subjective experiences and understanding of the lessons. Repeating them is karma. Demonstrating grasp and practical application is dharma. Choosing to incarnate to help others learn because one feels a deep empathy and compassion for everyone on the wheel of Samsara is bodhisattva.

Some of these religions believe we reincarnate until we have lived every experience from every possible perspective.

That said, back to my own cultural religious teachings, would I eat again from the tree of knowledge of good and evil? If I’m honest, on my worst days, no. On ok and best days? Yes. It’s good to experience things from various perspectives. Our imaginations have been constrained and lack ability. Physical and intellectual exercise is the remedy.

The problem is the apathy of the public.

I genuinely laughed. Politician style or hospitality industry style? I’ve so many questions!

Is the embezzler a $7.25 or otherwise minimum wage worker or a well-paid nepo baby?

“how dare a protest inconvenience anyone, to draw attention to a problem?”

I saw a video about 40s of the huge waves crashing frighteningly near a small Cornwall-by-the-sea. I’ve no idea if the occupants evacuated or not, but I do hope they are safe.

Business owners and billionaires, who own the CIA, Mossad and politicians, but yes.
