Thought of the week

If you wish the world to become loving and compassionate, become loving and compassionate yourself. If you wish to diminish fear in the world, diminish your own. These are the gifts you can give
Gary Zukav, American writer

Man stands in his own shadow and wonders why it is dark.
Zen saying

Book of the week

The child, the family and the outside world by DW Winnicott

This book, better than any other I’ve read, describes what it’s like to be a small child. Since all of our stuff comes from our childhood, isn’t it a good idea to understand more about how we are now by understanding what happened then?

Optical illusion of the week

It’s all about how we process information and flatly believe that what we see is something even when it is clearly something else.

Emotional issue of the week

“Hannah Jones has refused the heart transplant that could save her life. But is a 13-year-old too young to make that decision? Or is she the only person who can?” How does this make you feel? Suppose you were Hannah’s parent? If 13, is old enough, when is not old enough?
