Damaging another person's sense of reality is immoral. While keeping a relatively insignificant secret from someone you're close to, diminishes that person's realityand character. Going to great lengths to deceive someonecan actually make them question their sanity.

21 Day Devotional to Strengthening Your Faith

Le discours de 1963 de Martin Luther King en 1963 était une étape excitante dans le mouvement des droits civiques, donc durable que nous avons tendance à attribuer son pouvoir brûlant à une sorte de magie. Mais la rétrospection méditative de Gary Younge sur sa signification nous rappelle tous les micro-moments de transformation dans les coulisses - la pensée et la préparation, la vision et la révision - dont la monnaie a nourri ce magnifique boulon d'éclair de l'histoire.

La solution au racisme réside dans notre capacité à voir son omniprésence mais pas à concéder son inévitabilité. Il réside dans le pouvoir collectif et institutionnel de faire des changements, du moins autant qu'avec la volonté individuelle de changer.

La formule intemporelle de Viktor Frankl pour la survie. L'un des textes psychiatriques classiques de notre temps, la recherche de sens de l'homme est une méditation sur le don irréductible de ses propres conseils face à une grande souffrance, ainsi qu'un rappel de la responsabilité que chacun de nous doit en valorisant la communauté de notre notre humanité. Il y a peu de défis plus sages, plus gentils ou plus réconfortants que celui de Frankl.

Je n'ai pas de souvenirs fraîches de mère-fille - seulement le grincement quotidien des canettes ouvertes et le son de succion des légumes gélatineux qui frayent des vitesses de leurs aspirateurs à résistance à l'étain. Sa cuisine était remplie de fumée et d'impatience. ... Et donc j'ai grandi en trouvant mon propre chemin, en faisant frire ce qui ne pouvait pas être bouilli, en aidant à travers la vie sans recettes.

Dans la loi, les droits sont des îles d'autonomisation. . . . Les droits contiennent des images de pouvoir et manipulant ces images, visuellement ou linguistiquement, est centrale dans la fabrication et le maintien des droits.

Nous, les humains, avons toujours eu besoin de rituels pour dessiner comme des rideaux sur les gouffres de l'inconnu. Sans eux, nous devons devenir fous, je pense.

La misogynie de chasse aux sorcières est farouchement récurrente dans cette nation, même si ses formes varient selon les âges.

Le grand péché de Hilary Clinton était qu'elle avait quitté la sphère domestique bien papier avec un slam de la porte, a pris la vie publique seule, laissant de grandes empreintes féministes partout, et sans autant d'excuses.

Dans le monde des terres télévisées, dans lesquelles la vie américaine a été réduite et reproduite, le phénomène du talk-show est devenu un genre situé quelque part sur le spectre entre le café Klatch et la réunion de la ville, ou peut-être entre le canapé du psychiatre et le canapé et le canapé du psychiatre et le canapé du psychiatre et la Scène de la foule à un mauvais accident.

Les polémiques de la radio de droite ne mettent rien de moins que la haine sur les ondes, sur le marché, l'éligent au bureau, l'enseignent dans les écoles et l'exaltent comme liberté.
