“The work of adult life is not easy. As in childhood, each step presents not only new tasks of development but requires a letting go of the techniques that worked before. With each passage some magic must be given up, some cherished illusion of safety and comfortably familiar sense of self must be cast off, to allow for the greater expansion of our distinctiveness.” SelfLife IsGivenEasyStepsGreaterMagicChildhoodDevelopmentLetting GoIllusionAdultsTasksSafetyCastsTechniqueFamiliarPassagesExpansionGiven UpSense Of SelfLife Is Not Easy Book:Passages: Predictable Crises of Adult Life Source: Passages: Predictable Crises of Adult Life

“Refugee problems may often seem intractable but they are not insoluble. In our experience there are two basic prerequisites for solution: the political will of leaders to tackle the causes and to settle for peace, and international determination to push for peace and then to consolidate it. Consolidating peace means helping societies emerging from war to reintegrate refugees in safety and dignity, to rebuild their institutions - including in the field of justice and human rights - and to resume their economic development.” HumansMayMeanTwoWarHelpingProblemSeemsPoliticalCausesJusticeLeaderRightsEconomicFieldsDevelopmentSolutionsDeterminationDignitySafetyInstitutionsIncludingInternationalHuman RightsSettlingRefugeeEmergingResumesEconomic DevelopmentPrerequisitesProblems And SolutionsSolution To A ProblemPolitical Will Author:Sadako Ogata

“Taking a moment to be thankful for the things that easily could be, but are not. If we live in a place where there are no bloodthirsty lions walking around on the roads, let's be thankful. If there's no inbound asteroid or other imminent extinction event befallen on us, let's be thankful. If we are mostly free of disease or disorder in ourselves and those around us, let's be thankful. If there's no starvation in our own house or the house of neighbour, let's be thankful. If there's no lifethreatening pollution in our parts of the atmosphere, or water, let's be thankful. If we're not isolated, imprisoned, without any real prospects of a good future, let's be thankful. If we do not live near an active volcano, or within an area prone to earthquakes, super storms or other destabilizing natural phenomenae, let's be thankful. If it's not raining diamonds or acid [as is reality on some cosmic bodies], and if every part of our mighty Earth is habitable and healthy, let's be thankful. And if we collected some parts of tranquility for ourselves, or others, in this otherwise brief life, let's be thankful. It can be difficult to see, without concious effort to remind ourselves, that things are probably pretty good, also. Though, it is no excuse for laziness and inaction with regards to our duties in lending a hand according to the size of our hand, and perhaps with some regard for our own dignity, and to foresight.” LifePhilosophyDevelopmentGoodnessSafetyInsightImprovementThankfulnessCalmnessReminder Author:Psixaristw
