A lifestyle of generosity and under-consumption may not suit the needs of economists and politicians — but it will certainly make us happier.

The North Star of Joy in my experience and study that we totally
reject, obscure, belittle, bury... in our sickest of societies... is
Meaning... Serving the Neediest from the Soul in Solidarity. I'm
sharing my Treasure, not lecturing or preaching. All I'm saying, if you, or your loved ones, responds to Meaning, to
Being of True Service, then I simply pray you make that of highest
priority, and yes, I know that if you do, that makes things no easier at
all, because we relentlessly destroy as a society the opportunity for
near ANY OF US to lead meaningful lives... but to whatever small degree
you can nudge in that direction... it cures a near infinite number
of other issues spiritually, psychologically . Hugs. You are doing your best. Please find the peace of heart in that.
nd. Be with the Creator and you'll have Peace, Wisdom, and Joy... each breath that you do so..

“Years ago I recognized my kinship with all living things, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on the earth. I said then and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it; while there is a criminal element, I am of it; while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.” ~ Eugene V. Debs

SPDF Day 37: Pope Francis: "EEach child who begs for money on the street and who is denied medical care and education is “a painful cry that goes directly to the heart of the Father, and accuses the system that we adults have built.... Children are the responsibility not just of their parents, but of everyone....”

***** Pr. Carter Severs ties to Baptist sect over subjugation of women. "The carefully selected verses found in the Holy Scriptures to justify the superiority of men owe more to time and place - and the determination of male leaders to hold onto their influence - than eternal truths. Similar biblical excerpts could be found to support the approval of slavery and the timid acquiescence to oppressive rulers."

***** Day 21: “If men are not willing to practice the way of non-violence with the same kind of commitment and recklessness of cost or consequences as they practice the way of war… clearly non-violence will not work...”
***** SPDF Stop Palestines Death Fast Day 21: From the all-time greatest book of essays on Unviolent Warfare. "If men are not willing to practice the way of non-violence with the same kind of commitment and recklessness of cost or consequences as they practice the way of war and as Communists work for Communism, clearly non-violence will not work."

***** Day 16: “MY LIFE COUNTS FOR NOTHING TO ME COMPARED WITH SAVING EVEN ONE PALESTINIAN…
**** SPDF Stop Palestines Death Fast Day 16: 'My life counts nothing to me compared with the merest possibility of reducing by even one day, for even one of my 7 million Palestinians, their torment, torture, terrorization, degradation, dehumanization by we Americans and the Israelis these last 68 years.' My soul has known this for years, and I follow my Soul, long before I understand what it is telling me, but as I was staggering to Capital Hill this morning after seeing my Doc, mercifully, this clarity came to my mind. Clear as day. Clear as day.

***** SPDF Day 14: I’M NOT LETTING ALL THAT IS GOOD GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT.
Yes, of course I expect to make little or no difference. But I do think my death will somehow save one person in my Palestinian family over the next 20 years or so. And that alone is worth the price to me. But there is a prayer, as minuscule as it is, that by showing the only way to avert the world's calamities, the death fast, voluntarily paying the price of our own life so that another, or others may have one, that by doing this, another, others, someday may follow. Thereby taking the chance for a future worth living for my human family from zero to something more than that. Is that worth my life? A million times if I could offer it.
