#591 I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones....




I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones (from Albert Einstein).


Einstein stated: “I have always condemned the use of the atomic bomb against Japan.” Five months before his November 1954 death, he explained “one great mistake in my life…when I signed the letter to President Roosevelt recommending that atom bombs be made…" Separately he said: "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." Some of his quotes included saying “Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding.” “It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder, using force always attracts men of low morality.”  “The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.” 
 
Whilst we generally can’t stop a world war, our inaction however, often allows evil to flourish. Taking action can be dangerous as well, time consuming, tedious, and a real pain in the neck, but it is the thing that is most effective at minimizing the danger and evil in the world. So why is action important?   Action is what gets things done. Inaction means nothing gets done. Action, in the case of this quote, is about doing things to thwart, retard or deter the evil acts of others. The actions necessary to thwart evil acts is probably the most dangerous and the rarest. Such as breaking up a fight, scaring off a robber (or worse), these are actions of extreme bravery. It is an action the evil-doer is not expecting, as it is so rarely done. For example: - How many of you know of someone that is being abused by their partner, ex, bashed even and have done nothing.


The actions necessary to retard or deter evil acts are what most of us can do most easily, and with little to no risk. These might include joining a neighbourhood watch group, keeping your neighbourhood clean, well-lit, and unappealing to thieves, or in the case of the abuse reporting the absue so the person can get help. You can always remain anonymous. There are lots of things one can do to help in the eternal fight against evil, and to make the world less dangerous. Unfortunately evil is everywhere, and the wolf is always at the door.


What are you willing to do to make your part of the world less dangerous, and to help diminish the evil in your back yard? It won’t be easy, but I believe it will be worth the effort.

#405 As the Sun goes down with Apple May, Bauhaus Movement, Zenith, and Zerkalo



The age old question still prevails are you a Morning Person or a Evening Person? Do you set you alarm or you body clock wake you at 6 or 7 and bounce out of bed and say Hello I am going to go for a run, walk, swim or whatever your fancy. Or do you hide under the covers and snooze till midday if you could and stay awake for most of the night. I'm afraid that I am a morning person. I love the morning sun in winter, the smell of freshly cut grass in the morning and not to mention the coffee brewing which kicks me awake everytime.  Some of my SL friends are night owls and say why don't you stay up later which i try to do but somehow the yelling at me when i am quietly sleeping on the other end of Skype makes them laugh all the time. I love to feel the afternoon sun and the cool breezes by the water. I guess a morning person gives me more time to get out and about and explore.

There is no right or wrong to be a morning or night person. So for those that are trying to change their rhythms around to morning, this is what I suggest you do:
  • Stay consistent. Try to set the alarm clock for the same time every morning—including weekends. A constant wake up call may make it progressively easier to jump out of bed.
  • Start slowly. Pick a new wake up time and gradually work towards it. Want to wake up at 7 AM but stuck at 8? Start by setting the clock for 7:45, and move down in 15-minute increments until that new time goal is reached.
  • Skip the snooze. Disrupting sleep an hour or so before actually getting out of bed may disturb your REM cycle which helps stimulate brain regions lined to cognition. Don’t want to mess with that (or bug a roommate with multiple alarms!). Set one alarm for when it’s time to rise—and maybe another a few minutes later in case you snooze through.
  • Let in the light. Research shows a little light may be all we need to reset the body block A simple solution is to keep the blinds open during the night. 
  • Eat breakfast. Sleepiness doesn't disappear just from drinking a cup of coffee but for me it helps. Having enough time for some green eggs and ham will also  provide energy. 
  • Hit the gym. Those tired eyes may go away once a morning workout routine is in order. Start of slowly and before you know it you will feel more refreshed.

#374 Afterglow with Apple May, CheekyPea, Truth Hair, and Sways



Uber opened its doors on the 30th September, showcasing the theme for the month being "Shades of 
 Grey". I adore the Fifty Shades trilogy by E.L. James and the three books weren’t nearly enough for me, …. All credit to E. L. James and her stunning Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy.   A fourth one needs to be created now!! :) 

For those who are a lover of all things romantic, my next journey is that of the books by Diana Gabaldon who I have been a fan of for many years. The tv series "Outlander' was released in Australia only a few months ago, and like the books I am surely addicted.

For now though, of all things grey, alluring and spicy, come take a walk to Uber our destination for today, showcasing some of the amazing works by CheekyPea, Truth Hair,  and Sways just to name a few.
