“I have always used the burqa because men are using the burqa in the name of culture and religion to take freedom from women. Women are alive, they have their own wishes and desires, but all the time they have to sacrifice that. They are a kind of skeleton, which doesn't have muscles. They're just breathing, like a kind of puppet that barely exists. If women spoke for their rights, they were beaten by their husbands. So they don't have a voice. They lose their voices and their wishes and their happiness.” IfsMenKindUsedDesireCultureNamesWishVoiceLosesAliveRightsSacrificeHusbandBreathingMusclesSpokesBeatenMen WomenPuppetsSkeletonsBurqaCulture And Religion Author:Malina Suliman
“What really does work to increase the feeling of having a home and its comforts is housekeeping. Housekeeping creates cleanliness, order, regularity, beauty, the conditions for health and safety, and a good place to do and feel all the things you wish and need to do and feel in your home. Whether you live alone or with a spouse, parents, and ten children, it is your housekeeping that makes your home alive, that turns it into a small society in its own right, a vital place with its own ways and rhythms, the place where you can be more yourself than you can be anywhere else.” WayNeedsFeelsChildrenDoeFeelingsHomeOrderTurnsWishParentAliveConditionsComfortTenIncreaseSafetyRhythmSpouseCleanlinessGood PlaceRegularityHousekeepingHealth And Safety Author:Cheryl Mendelson
“All who are not lunatics are agreed about certain things. That it is better to be alive than dead, better to be adequately fed than starved, better to be free than a slave. Many people desire those things only for themselves and their friends; they are quite content that their enemies should suffer. These people can only be refuted by science: Humankind has become so much one family that we cannot ensure our own prosperity except by ensuring that of everyone else. If you wish to be happy yourself, you must resign yourself to seeing others also happy.” PeopleIfsShouldDesireCertainSufferingWishEnemyAliveSeeingSlaveProsperityFedsHumankind Author:Bertrand Russell
“There are very few things in the mind which eat up as much energy as worry. It is one of the most difficult things not to worry about anything. Worry is experienced when things go wrong, but in relation to past happenings it is idle merely to wish that they might have been otherwise. The frozen past is what it is, and no amount of worrying is going to make it other than what it has been. But the limited ego-mind identifies itself with its past, gets entangled with it and keeps alive the pangs of frustrated desires.” MindHas BeensMightPastDesireEnergyWishDifficultWorryAliveAmountEgoHappeningsRelationFrustratedIdleFrozenMight Have BeenDifficult ThingsWhen Things Go Wrong Author:Meher Baba
“The authentic rebel knows that the silencing of all his adversaries is the last thing on earth he wishes: their extermination would deprive him and whoever else remains alive from the uniqueness, the originality, and the capacity for insight that these enemies being human also have and could share with him. If we wish the death of our enemies, we cannot talk about the community of man. In the losing of the chance for dialogue with our enemies, we are the poorer.” IfsKnowsMenHumansEarthLastsWishCommunityChanceEnemyAliveShareLosingCapacityRemainsInsightDialogueRebelOriginalityUniquenessBeing HumanAdversariesExterminationSilencing Book:Power and Innocence: A Search for the Sources of Violence Source: Power and Innocence: A Search for the Sources of Violence
