“I am old, and death inevitably approaches. But both birth and death are beyond the will of a human being. They are not my domain. I do not think about it. Yoga has taught me to think of only working to live a useful life...I will never stop learning, and it have tried to share some lessons with you. I do pray that my ending will be your beginning. The great rewards and the countless blessings of a life spent following the Inward Journey await you.” ThinkingHumansHuman BeingsJourneyShareTaughtPrayingBirthLessonsBlessingApproachYogaRewardsFollowingInwardDomainBirth And DeathNever Stop LearningGreat RewardUseful Life Author:B.K.S.

“We are inescapably the result of a long heritage of learning, adaptation, mutation and evolution, the product of a history which predates our birth as a biological species and stretches back over many thousand millennia... Going further back, we share a common ancestry with our fellow primates; and going still further back, we share a common ancestry with all other living creatures and plants down to the simplest microbe. The further back we go, the greater the difference from external appearances and behavior patterns which we observe today.” LongStillsTodayDifferencesResultsCommonGreaterShareProductsEvolutionBirthThousandCreaturesBehaviorFellowsPlantSpeciesPatternsAppearanceHeritageSimplestAdaptationAncestryLiving CreaturesPrimatesMutationMicrobesBehavior PatternsExternal Appearance Author:Fred Hoyle

“We're being asked to continually be "authentic" and "honest" with the world through social media. There's a demand to post our wedding pictures, baby pictures (only minutes after the birth), our relationship status, and our grief and joys on Facebook and Instagram. Similarly, we construct persona through dating apps and networking sites. All of these social media networks exert pressure on us to share the personal details of our lives with unknown masses. So the pressure on the characters in "Openness" isn't merely romantic, but public/social as well.” WorldWellsCharacterJoySocialGriefOur LivesShareMinutesHonestMediaBabyBirthDemandMassDatingPressureDetailsSocial MediaPostsOpennessOur RelationshipSiteConstructsNetworkingInstagramPersonaAppsOur WeddingNetworking SitesBaby PicturesWedding Pictures Author:Alexander Weinstein
“When anesthesia was developed, it was for many decades routinely withheld from women giving birth, since women were "supposed" to suffer. One of the few societies to take a contrary view was the Huichol tribe in Mexico. The Huichol believed that the pain of childbirth should be shared, so the mother would hold on to a string tied to her husband's testicles. With each painful contraction, she would give the string a yank so that the man could share the burden. Surely if such a mechanism were more widespread, injuries in childbirth would garner more attention.” IfsMenGivingShouldPainMotherSufferingViewsAttentionShareBirthHusbandEmpathyPainfulBurdenDecadesContraryInjuryStringsMechanismMexicoTiedWomens RightsTribesChildbirthGiving BirthContractionsTesticlesAnesthesia Author:Nicholas D.

“So we must lay it down that the association which is a state exists not for the purpose of living together but for the sake of noble actions. Those who contribute most to this kind of association are for that very reason entitled to a larger share in the state than those who, though they may be equal or even superior in free birth and in family, are inferior in the virtue that belongs to a citizen. Similarly they are entitled to a larger share than those who are superior in riches but inferior in virtue.” KindMayStatesReasonActionTogetherPurposePoliticsVirtueShareBirthCitizensEqualLaysSakeRichesNobleSuperiorsAssociationInferiorsEntitledLiving Together Author:Aristotle
