“The general idea of the rich helping the poor, I think, is important. That your sense of justice says, why should rich kids - who barely get these diseases and almost never die of them - why should they get the vaccines, when poor kids, who actually do die from these diseases, don't get those things? It's an unbelievable inequity that there isn't that access.” ThinkingShouldImportantIdeasHelpingKidsDiesJusticePoorRichDiseaseAccessUnbelievableVaccinesRich Kids Author:Bill Gates
“People say, "I have heart disease," not "I am heart disease." Somehow the presumption of a person's individuality is not compromised by those diagnostic labels. All the labels tell us is that the person has a specific challenge with which he or she struggles in a highly diverse life. But call someone "a schizophrenic" or "a borderline" and the shorthand has a way of closing the chapter on the person. It reduces a multifaceted human being to a diagnosis and lulls us into a false sense that those words tell us who the person is, rather than only telling us how the person suffers.” PeopleWayHumansHeartPersonsSufferingChallengesJusticeHuman BeingsStruggleDiseaseDiversitySocial JusticeIndividualityLabelsDiverseChaptersClosingDiagnosisPresumptionHeart DiseaseSchizophrenicLullsBorderlineShorthand Author:Martha Manning

“Sahaja Yoga has cured people from cancer, from all kinds of diseases which they call incurable. How? Just by awakening the Kundalini. Sahaja Yogis don't go to any doctor, they had become doctors without studying Medicine. They treat the basics. While science is analysis, like a tree has got some leaves and are showing the symptoms of some disease they try to treat the leaves. But if you have to treat the leaves, you cannot do any justice, you have to go to the roots and treat the sap! And that is how - that is the only way you can treat the tree.” PeopleIfsWayLoveTryingKindWisdomSpiritJusticeStudyMeditationTreeDiseaseYogaRootsDoctorsTreatsMedicineCancerAwakeningAll KindsAnalysisWellnessSymptomsBasicsSapYogiSahaja Yoga Author:Nirmala Srivastava
