From the ants in the cracks of the pavement, to the dogs in the dog house out back and the families that own pets or not, the single people or the polyamorous, the middle class or the homelessly poor and to the uber rich in their skyscrapers the pinnacle of what we All want need and desire is comfortable connection.

If we want to be rid of war, then we want to connect with Peace, not overpower war, instead build peace proactively. If we must we will defend ourselves forcefully for we all Should have a Right to Live.

If we want to be rid of hunger, then we must distribute connections to food, not throw food away because that’s cheaper than giving it to another. We should make throwing food into rubbish more expensive than feeding a human or animal or plant.

If we want to be rid of hate, then we need to understand the reasons for hatred or hateful actions, and then build connections of love that address those reasons of hatred, not avoiding hate, but instead using hate to aim love for the peaceful purpose of lessening hatred and its consequences.

If we want to know ourselves, then we need to spend time and effort on connecting with ourselves, not working exhaustively to own a house, or make a million at any cost, nor even volunteer for worthy causes, nor even helicopter parenting, for all of those can be, might be, might not be, distractions away from knowing ourselves… or they might be perfectly aligned with how we do know ourselves and our effects upon others.
If you truly think you know yourself perfectly well and have no intention of ever changing a single thing in your perfection, then do not read the article that starts with “Know thyself” is not just silly advice: it’s actively dangerous.
If on the other hand you are comfortable with coming to a better understanding of your current self, then have a read, it’s good stuff from a Cambridge and Antwerp Professor Bence Nanay.

Parallel lines meet at the horizon.

My wife and I have under taken cyber security probes of the software that controls the donation process, seems quite safe, for even knowing of the transaction via email and receiving the money, I could not geolocate my own wife’s donation_place via a banking system. Seems pretty decent.
