PILLOWS

  • My Scottish Highlander ancestors were said to have slept on a rock for a pillow. I have a large granite rock, but I haven’t tried it out for a pillow yet. This type of hard pillow seems to have been typical in many ancient cultures, and there is record of them being used in places such as Egypt, China, and Mesopotamia.

  • The Stone of Jacob appears in the Book of Genesis as the stone used as a pillow by the Israelite patriarch Jacob at the place later called Bet-El. As Jacob had a vision in his sleep, he then consecrated the stone to God.

#Series of #deaths due to #heart #attack on #cricket #ground:

One more #youth #dies during cricket practice in Morbi

In #Gujarat, the number of deaths due to #heartattack is #increasing day by day.

Most of the people are seen dying of heart attack while playing cricket.
Just a note about cricket, for those reading who may not know much about the game.

As in baseball, one whole team is in the field (to catch or retrieve the ball when hit), while the other team takes their turn at batting. When fielding, it's very typical for someone to be standing relatively still for fairly long periods of time, punctuated by very #sudden bursts of fast reactive movement (leaping or sprinting) from a standing or crouching position. (In this way, it's actually very different from football.) It seems likely to me that this sudden impact on a #vaxx-compromised heart is what's causing the #tragic #problems.

Accelerating Downfall
I am so fucking #angry all the time. Everything is getting worse, and the rate is accelerating. The #price of #everything I #buy to live has gone up more than 100% in the last two years. The #pricegouging and #profiteering is #endless. #Inflation is 7%, not 50%, and everyone else is… I have always been human fucking garbage. I always will be. My life is getting worse every year. It's unrelenting. I have to fucking commit #suicide. There is no way out. It's all getting worse and accelerating. I am already behind. I am already a loser piece of shit. I am #fat. I am #old. I am #ugly. I am #poor. I am #worthless. And there is NO WAY OUT. I have to commit suicide. I #hate my life more and more every day. I hate everyone around me. I hate myself. There is no path away from this. Don't respond saying that there is a path, but it's not an easy path. All that is saying is that I could get out, but I am #lazy. And I have already established that I am #fucking #worthless #human #garbage who should kill himself. But I am too much of a #coward to kill myself. I have to go on pointlessly suffering for some reason. I just hope someone kills me. If you know who I am, please kill me. I deserve a slow, painful death, but I ask for #mercy, and that you please make my #death #quick and #painless. I won't fight. I mean, I won't fight if I don't know what's coming. Shoot me in the back of the head or something. I #hope you get away with it. But ultimately I don't fucking care (See? Worthless Human Garbage). There is no point to your fucking worthless life either. But for what it's worth I hope you succeed and evade #legal #problems for my #murder, which I #deserve, I assure you. Kill me, please. There is no point in this going on.

Let us not mentioned the truly horrendous masacres in Africa, India and South America by people who claim to be on civilizing missions.

Unlike most cultures that I know, the “free world” #European culture appeared to be designed to engage in perpetual hatred of The Other.

One of the Culture Shocks that I experienced during my sojourn in #Europe was the penchant to #blame #FOREIGNERS for everything that is wrong in society.

Unlike in Africa where we blame our stupid and inept leaders for keeping us pinned down in a neo-colonial state of underdevelopment, Europeans consider the #Immigrant as the #CAUSE of all their #problems.

#Ukraine #Russia #CIA #China #Taiwan

We are in July and while the Russians are not letting up on the grinding of the Ukrainian forces, the West has already lost interest in its latest misadventure.

Many Western countries have already announced that they have no more weapons to spare, and the EU’s powerhouse, Germany, has been reduced to dusting off ancient mothballed tanks to send off to battle against an already defeated Russians!

That’s when German officials are not too busy trying to placate an irascible and ungrateful Ukrainian officials with an obscene and gratuitous sense of entitlement.

Or maybe the Ukrainians should feel perfectly entitled since they were foolish enough to sell off their country for whatever pieces of silver they got!

The question here is: Why are Westerners so dumb that they cannot ask where their leaders who can’t find the money to repair their shattered economies, suddenly find the #money to provide #weapons to Nazis in Ukraine?

Well, I think that Europeans are also just foreigners and not all of them can be blamed for the problems. Anyway, it is worth thinking about his writing.

Carl Sagan testifying before Congress in 1985 on climate change

"We are pouring #carbon #dioxide and other #gases into the #atmosphere with hardly any concern for its long term and #global-effects ... the #solutions to these #problems requires a #perspective that embraces the #planet and the #future because we are all in this #greenhouse #together."
