hen faced with the forces of distraction and delusion — personified in Buddhism as Mara — he didn’t try to push them away or conquer them. He simply said, ‘I know you, Mara.’ Recognition was enough to loosen their grip.
Goodnight everyone look after yourself.

The Dhammapada says, "Mind precedes all mental states...if with an impure mind a person speaks or acts, suffering follows him."
To me, this means that our thoughts shape how we perceived the world and respond to it. Our mind creates our experiences.

The DNC was like the beginning of a disaster movie: SO many brilliant women warned everybody what's to come.
Now we're in the middle of the f-ing movie... somewhere between Jurassic Park, The Day After Tomorrow, & Schindler's List.
& ALL Americans had to do to prevent this... was trust women. 👇🏼

I've been reading a lot of Buddhist thought lately and I thought I would include a quote and reflection: "In the end, only three things matter: How much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you."

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.

This is a great question for all of congress to think about.
Hypothetically,If FEMA goes away, what happens to home owners and other insurance rates ?
Climate change looks like it will make rates so high, home insurers will want equity in your house as a way of holding down rates

I wonder how much the dissolution of FEMA and cancellation of flooding infrastructure programs is going to increase insurance premiums?
Especially as the population ages, inflation spikes, and a large % of housing stock is used as short term rentals in high risk areas.

Trump to turn the Guantanamo bay torture camp into a full fledged concentration camp.
He plans to send at least 30,000 people, while they'll allege to only be sending "migrants", ICE has also been randomly detaining US citizens during its ethnic cleansing operations.

Trump gets in bed with the Chinese owners, and suddenly Tik Tok isn’t “evil CCP compromised” anymore. These people believe in nothing. What Trump decides today is what they believe in today. Which changes tomorrow if Trump makes a deal with someone else to enrich himself.

As I’ve predicted every day for the last two weeks. A prearranged scam between Trump and the CCP to deceive the American people, enrich himself, and fool users. And it will work because there are plenty of rubes & suckers in this country and Trump has had their number for years.
