Jamelle Bouie: "Sunday’s UFC fight is not just a garish spectacle; it is an expression of Pres. Trump’s contempt for the ritual and symbolism of American democracy — which is just another way to say, his contempt for democracy itself."

I'm still trying to figure out why a president whose views and behaviours are clearly the polar opposite of Buddha's honoured Vesak. There must be some hidden agenda.

Having $1 trillion in his pockets shows just how many poor, sick, uneducated, etc people and wildlife around the world he could be helping but isn't. Shame on him.

Action. #AlignWIthLove #Love #Philosophy #SocialMedia #Psalms #Bible #Weekend #Death #Selfishness

Bet the rich people don't let their contracts get done with #AI. If they do they're idiots not just evil. But evil is stupid. It really is. #Selfishness is a reduction in #consciousness. The evil make themselves stupider and that is one of the reasons that good will always win. Eventually. It hurts.

A quotation from Basil the Great

You seem to have great possessions! How else can this be, but that you have preferred your own enjoyment to the consolation of the many? For the more you abound in wealth, the more you lack in love.

[ἀλλὰ μὴν φαίνῃ ἔχων κτήματα πολλά. Πόθεν ταῦτα; ἢ δῆλον ὅτι τὴν οἰκείαν ἀπόλαυσιν προτι μοτέραν τῆς τῶν πολλῶν παραμυθίας ποιούμενος. Ὅσον οὖν πλεονάζεις τῷ πλούτῳ, τοσοῦτον ἐλλείπεις τῇ ἀγάπῃ.]

Basil of Caesarea (AD 330-378) Christian bishop, theologian, monasticist, Doctor of the Church [Saint Basil the Great, Ἅγιος Βασίλειος ὁ Μέγας]
Sermon (368 ca.), "To the Rich [Ὁμιλία πρὸς τοὺς πλουτούντας]" [tr. Schroeder (2009)]

Trump cares about UFC fight and his ballroom. Not about you. | Opinion

Americans are angry. They are stressed about food and fuel prices. And they are saying President Donald Trump is the source of their anger and stress.

The Bent-Knee Time - Devotional: May 19th

SELFISHNESS IS SUICIDAL - Mark 12:1-12

The Jews rejected Jesus, the Son of God and their own and the world’s rightful King. And so they rejected their opportunity to be the world’s first nation. “They left him”; utterly, severely, they left him. And so he was forced to leave them. That’s always the order. If ever God leaves a man it is only long after the man has left God. Sin is suicidal. Selfishness nails its own coffin. Rejection of Jesus is self-rejection.
