Sometimes I feel this way, and sometimes I think plain and unremarkable.

““I once ascended to the firmaments. I first went to see Hell and the sight was horrifying. Row after row of tables were laden with platters of sumptuous food, yet the people seated around the tables were pale and emaciated, moaning in hunger. As I came closer, I understood their predicament.
“Every person held a full spoon, but both arms were splinted with wooden slats so he could not bend either elbow to bring the food to his mouth. It broke my heart to hear the tortured groans of these poor people as they held their food so near but could not consume it.
“Next I went to visit Heaven. I was surprised to see the same setting I had witnessed in Hell – row after row of long tables laden with food. But in contrast to Hell, the people here in Heaven were sitting contentedly talking with each other, obviously sated from their sumptuous meal.
“As I came closer, I was amazed to discover that here, too, each person had his arms splinted on wooden slats that prevented him from bending his elbows. How, then, did they manage to eat?
“As I watched, a man picked up his spoon and dug it into the dish before him. Then he stretched across the table and fed the person across from him! The recipient of this kindness thanked him and returned the favor by leaning across the table to feed his benefactor.
I suddenly understood. Heaven and Hell offer the same circumstances and conditions. The critical difference is in the way the people treat each other.
I ran back to Hell to share this solution with the poor souls trapped there. I whispered in the ear of one starving man, “You do not have to go hungry. Use your spoon to feed your neighbor, and he will surely return the favor and feed you.”
“‘You expect me to feed the detestable man sitting across the table?’ said the man angrily. ‘I would rather starve than give him the pleasure of eating!’”

- Rabbi Haim of Romshishok (?)

This isn’t just a parable— heaven and hell exist only on earth; and this is what they are.

“People take different roads seeking fulfillment, and happiness. Just because they’re not on your road doesn’t mean they’ve gotten lost.”

“The “science of hydration” is utterly bogus. There is no science to it. It was dreamed up by marketers to sell a product.”

- Dr. Timothy Noakes on over-drinking during exercise— which is a case that started occurring during the 1980s, for which there have been 12 deaths since.

That sucks… I wonder how many other health recommendations come from the need to sell a product.. Cough*dairy*cough

unicef:

Play is a key part of recovery
Join UNICEF correspondent Toby Fricker as he reports on the arrival of a new playground for children in the Za’atari refugee camp in Jordan.

To see the UNICEF YouTube playlist regarding the Syrian crisis, click here.

For more information about UNICEF, please visit: http://www.unicef.org/

We are Homo sapien, have been called Homo faber, Homo empathicus,
but we begin as or rather must have the opportunity to be Homo ludens.

Play is an essential part of our, and many other species’, development. As expressed above, it is also an important part of recovery, as these particular children have been displaced due to the Syrian conflict.

Children have a right to PLAY!!
