Lessons From The Past

Shoes On The Bank

If you are aghast at how the majority are accepting the illogical, senseless and ineffective government measures to “combat the virus”, just remember that the vast majority would get into boxcars to be railroaded (literally and figuratively) to their death or lined up against walls, besides rivers or ditches and waited to be shot rather than tried to overwhelm their suppressors.

Fear paralyses one. Don’t succumb to fear!

If you find yourself fearful, take your body for a walk and look at things until you rise out of that tone level.

If you are unable to go for a walk, look at things in your environment until you feel better.

Are you feeling the urge to homestead? Here’s some honest advice

Homestead

On the surface, “homesteading” looks like frolicking outside in the dirt all day and then sitting down to a delicious scratch-cooked, home-raised meal in the evening. Sure, that is part of it. But, having a functional homestead involves a lot of different skills.

I remember telling my dad once that it felt like farming was more about construction and small engine repair than anything else. My dad laughed and told me my brother (who works in a large agricultural facility) had just told my dad that “…farming was mostly figuring out how to keep old diesel equipment up and running.”

China Lectures USA On Human Rights

China Lectures USA On Rights

Not that those are bad recommendations, quite the opposite. They are great recommendations. But coming from the second most hypocritical country on the planet, that’s rich!

As the friend from whom I am reposting it says: This is rich coming from a country that has imprisoned more than a million Uyghurs in concentration camps and is suspected of trafficking their organs to rich Americans on a 48 hr waitlist … yeah these guys … they want to school the U.S about racism in America. Right!

Points To Consider Adopting

A little something to ponder…

I asked one of my friends who has crossed 70 and is heading to 80 what sort of changes he is feeling in himself?

He sent me the following very interesting lines, which I would like to share with you ….
#1 After loving my parents, my siblings, my spouse, my children, my friends, now I have started loving myself.
#2 I just realized that I am not “Atlas”. The world does not rest on my shoulders.
#3 I now stopped bargaining with vegetable and fruit vendors. A few pennies more is not going to burn a hole in my pocket but it might help the poor fellow save for his daughter’s school fees.
#4 I pay my waitress a big tip. The extra money might bring a smile to her face. She is toiling much harder for a living than me
#5 I stopped telling the elderly that they’ve already narrated that story many times. The story makes them walk down the memory lane and relive the past.
#6 I have learned not to correct people even when I know they are wrong. The onus of making everyone perfect is not on me. Peace is more precious than perfection.
#7 I give compliments freely and generously. Compliments are a mood enhancer not only for the recipient, but also for me. And a small tip for the recipient of a compliment, never, NEVER turn it down, just say “Thank You”
#8 I have learned not to bother about a crease or a spot on my shirt. Personality speaks louder than appearances.
#9 I walk away from people who don’t value me. They might not know my worth, but I do.
#10 I remain cool when someone plays dirty to outrun me in the rat race. I am not a rat and neither am I in any race.
#11 I am learning not to be embarrassed by my emotions. It’s my emotions that make me human.
#12 I have learned that it’s better to drop the ego than to break a relationship. My ego will keep me aloof, whereas with relationships I will never be alone.
#13 I have learned to live each day as if it’s the last. After all, it might be the last.
#14 I am doing what makes me happy. I am responsible for my happiness, and I owe it to myself. Happiness is a choice. You can be happy at any time, just choose to be!

I decided to send this to all my friends. Why do we have to wait to be 70 or 80, why can’t we practice this at any stage and age….
