"Would You Commit Murder?" - 15-Year-Old Maldives Climate Ambassador Asks World Leaders to Take on Climate Change

One the countries on the front lines of climate change is the Maldives. Eighty percent of the land lies three feet or less above the waves. The predicted sea level rise caused by global warming could wipe the country off the map. Democracy Now's Amy Goodman speaks with fifteen-year-old Maldives climate ambassador, Mohamed Axam Maumoon. On his message to the world, Maumoon says, “On the basis that you know what you are doing is wrong and you can see that the victim is begging for mercy…would you commit murder?”

I'm up the block

round the corner, and down the street
From where the Pimps, Prostitutes, and the Drug Lords meet
jay-z "Where I'm From"

Sometimes I wonder if the rate of social justices moves at all...

or if "Civilization" is an oxymoron, where the individual becomes less free & more dependent as society advances.

軽度のポスト〔郵便〕

The Tao that can be trodden is not the enduring and unchanging Tao.
The name that can be named is not the enduring and unchanging name.
(Conceived of as) having no name,
it is the Originator of heaven and earth; (conceived of as) having a name,
it is the Mother of all things.
 
Always without desire we must be found,
If its deep mystery we would sound;
But if desire always within us be,
Its outer fringe is all that we shall see.
 
Under these two aspects, it is really the same;
but as development takes place, it receives the different names.
Together we call them the Mystery.
Where the Mystery is the deepest is the gate of all that
is subtle and wonderful.

But I tell you, you will not see me until
the time comes when you say,
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord

Seven Story Mounain...

We live in a society whose whole policy is to excite every nerve in the human body and keep it at the highest pitch of artificial tension, to strain every human desire to the limit and create as many new desires and synthetic passions as possible, in order to cater to them with the products of our factories and printing presses and movie studios and all the rest.
