There is no doubt that Musk will be President. He is a professional manipulator, exploiter, racist who exceeds Trump in all his flaws. He maltreats anyone who works for his company, produces low quality and dangerous products,...

Shiva @jaylar we are expendable as the egos rule. I have more powerful stack of weapons than you and can send you back to the Stone Age - that is what we hear from our leaders. Instead of fighting for peace, weapons are proffered to fight and kill each other. And...

[i]When you tolerate someone, you allow them to operate in their own false way around you, and this, in a way, is not caring both for yourself, and for the other person, too. You are emptily indifferent to what is happening around...

Shiva @innertalks With AI making its presence felt more and more by the day, there are standard responses at the click of a mouse for a lengthy, soulless, response that lacks sincerity. I see a lot of greetings flooding the inbox from corporate concerns. Even...

My mother loved her garden and spent hours in it every day. Because of our climate, our potted plants need shelter from the sun so rather than hot-houses we have shade houses. She had two ‘shade-houses’. If a frost was predicted...

Shiva Your mum has left an indelible positive impression, but not easy to emulate. It is more of sheer passion that would have lightened the hard work involved.

Shiva It is said that our attention span is getting shorter each day. Two minutes before we get distracted by constant social media. One of the sad factors of old age is loneliness with no one around to hear their peeves. They are brushed away that it is part...

Shiva @TheHorse I like the quotes attributed to Martin Luther King Jr. and Mark Twain. My favorites are: ‘You Must Be The Change You Wish To See In The World’ - Gandhi. “Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once” from...

Shiva When I quote, I add "attributed to" to make it safe. Some of the quotes attributed to Einstein make him an insightful philosopher too.

Shiva I know "in the same boat". At times, I translate some sayings from the few languages I know. A few have survived for a long time, especially those of Shakespeare which are timeless.

Shiva @innertalks I think it is more like the soul reminding us that life here is temporary and our physical body has its limits. I live doing justice after my birth here, while the inner prompt indicates the journey continues. The perceived setbacks are temporary...

Shiva We are human and we have strengths that remain untapped. We cannot overlook the realness of our human perception. Whatever we achieve should enrich the soul within each of us., but we lose our way. Change is the only constant, and we are kept alive by it....

Shiva @porwest The hard-earned money is yours only. And the ones you find if you search for them high and low! I recall one wealthy man who walked looking at the ground. We used to joke that he was looking for some cents to pick up!
