คอลัมน์ “สดแต่เช้า”ปีที่4 (143) รักใสใส หัวใจfulfilled! “เพราะว่าธรรมบัญญัติทั้งสิ้นนั้นสรุปได้เป็นคำเดียว คือว่า จงรักเพื่อนบ้านเหมือนรักตนเอง”‭‭ ~กาลาเทีย‬ ‭5‬:‭14‬ ‭THSV11‬‬ “For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.””‭‭ ~Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭14‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Timothy Keller (1950 -2023)กล่าวว่า “ไม่ใช่ทุกๆคนเป็นพี่น้องชายหญิงร่วมในความเชื่อเดียวกันกับคุณ แต่ทุกๆคนล้วนเป็นเพื่อนบ้านของคุณ และคุณต้องรักเพื่อนบ้านของคุณ!“ (Not everyone is your brother or sister in the faith, but everyone is your neighbor, and you must love your neighbor.) พระคัมภีร์เน้นความสัมพันธ์เกี่ยวเนื่องอย่างแยกกันไม่ออก ระหว่าง “ธรรมบัญญัติ” และ “ความรัก”! โดยเฉพาะอย่างยิ่ง ในเรื่องการรักเพื่อนบ้านของเรา ในพระคริสตธรรมคัมภีร์ฉบับ TH1940‬‬ แปลพระธรรมข้อนี้ ออกมาดังนี้ “เพราะว่า​พระ​บัญญัติ​ทั้งสิ้น​( the entire law )นั้น​สำเร็จ​ครบถ้วน​(fulfilled) ใน​คำ​เดียว, คือ​ว่า จง​รัก​เพื่อน​บ้าน​เหมือน​รัก​ตัวเอง.”‭‭ ~ฆะ​ลา​เตีย‬ ‭5‬:‭14‬ ‭TH1940‬‬ ใช่ครับ ธรรมบัญญัติ ทั้งสิ้นจะ สรุป หรือ สำเร็จ(fulfilled)ได้ ก็ต่อเมื่อเรา”รัก“เพื่อนบ้านของเราได้ด้วยหัวใจใสใส! ดังนั้น ถ้าวันนี้ คุณอยากให้ ธรรมบัญญัติทั้งสิ้น สำเร็จเป็นจริงในชีวิตของคุณ คุณก็จง ”รัก“คนทั้งหลาย ที่1).อยู่่กับคุณ2).อยู่ข้างๆคุณ 3).อยู่รอบๆคุณ ให้มากที่สุด และจะยิ่งสุดยอดมากขึ้นไปอีก หากว่าคุณสามารถ รัก คนที่ 4).อยู่ฝ่ายตรงข้ามกับคุณได้ด้วย อย่างจริงใจ แน่นอนว่า คนที่อยู่ตรงข้ามกับคุณ อาจเป็น 1).ปรปักษ์ คือ คนที่คิดแตกต่างจากคุณ แต่ไม่ได้เป็นศัตรู หรือเป็น 2).ศัตรู คือ คนที่ เป็น ปรปักษ์+ ผู้จองเวร(ผู้ทำลาย)คุณอย่างเอาเป็นเอาตาย แต่ พวกเขาก็ยังคงเป็นเพื่อนบ้านของคุณอยู่ คุณจึงไม่อาจปฏิเสธความรับผิดชอบในการรักพวกเขา ตามบัญญัติรักที่พระเจ้าทรงบัญชาให้คุณทำ คุณจึงสมควร ลงมือกระทำให้สำเร็จ(fulfilling )อย่างไม่มีเงื่อนไขด้วย เหมือนดังที่ Gilbert K. Chesterton (1874~1936) กล่าวว่า “พระคัมภีร์บอกให้เรารักเพื่อนบ้านของเรา และให้เรารักพวกศัตรูของเราด้วย นั่นอาจเป็นเพราะว่าโดยทั่วไปแล้ว พวกเขามักเป็นคนกลุ่มเดียวกัน!” (The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies; probably because they are generally the same people.) ดังนั้นจึงกล่าวได้ว่า เพื่อให้พระบัญญัติของพระเจ้าสำเร็จอย่างสมบูรณ์ในตัวของคุณ คุณต้องรักเพื่อนบ้านของคุณ ด้วยใจใสใส ไม่ว่าพวกเขาจะผิดบาปหรือผิดพลาดมามากมายสักเพียงใดในชีวิตของพวกเขา เหมือนดังที่ Martin Buber(1878~1965)กล่าวว่า “สิ่งที่คุณต้องทำ คือ จงรักเพื่อนบ้านของคุณ ดุจดังคุณรักตัวคุณเอง ไม่มีใครรู้จักความผิดพลาดมากมายของคุณได้ดีไปกว่าตัวของคุณ แต่กระนั้น คุณก็ยังรักตัวคุณเองอยู่ ฉะนั้น คุณก็ต้องรักเพื่อนบ้านของคุณเช่นกัน ไม่ว่าคุณจะมองเห็นความผิดพลาดในตัวของเขา มากมายสักเพียงใดก็ตาม!” ( What you must do is love your neighbor as yourself. There is no one who knows your many faults better than you! But you love yourself notwithstanding. And so you must love your neighbor, no matter how many faults you see in him.) พี่น้องที่รัก ขอให้เรามาทำให้พระบัญญัติทั้งสิ้นของพระเจ้าสำเร็จอย่างบริบูรณ์ ผ่านการแสดงความรักใสใสต่อคนทั้งหลาย โดยเฉพาะอย่างยิ่งคนที่ไม่น่ารักอย่างจริงใจ ไม่คิดมาก ด้วยความใส่ใจและความห่วงใยที่มาจากองค์พระเยซูคริสต์! …จะ “อาเมน” ไหมครับ? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ธงชัย ประดับชนานุรัตน์21สิงหาคม 2024 #YoutubeCJCONNECT #thongchaibsc#คริสตจักรแห่งความรัก #churchoflove #ShareTheLoveForward #ChurchOfJoy #คริสตจักรแห่งความสุข #NimitmaiChristianChurch #คริสตจักรนิมิตใหม่ #ฮักกัยประเทศไทย #อัลฟ่า #หนึ่งล้านความดี

Haben wir eine gute Streitkultur oder sollen wir uns überhaupt noch streiten? Warum haben wir uns alle nicht einfach lieb und schätzen uns einander? Dieser Frage gehen wir heute nach. Wir beschäftigen uns mit Streit und Diskussion. Was der Unterschied ist, welche Ausprägungen es gibt und wie wir respektvoll miteinander umgehen können. Zum Schluss gibt es noch einige Tipps wie Du eine respektvolle Diskussion führen kannst und worauf zu achten ist, denn so bist und bleibst Du Dein eigener Glückes Schmied.  Einen offenen Streit oder eine direkte Diskussion zu führen ist - wie eine Feinripp Unterhose - einfach nicht mehr in Mode. Man versteckt sich allzu gerne hinter Social Media Accounts und verschiedenen Online-Plattformen. Menschen mit derartig großen Sprüchen auf solchen Kanälen werden bei direkten Unterhaltungen zu zahmen Schoßhündchen, die ein direktes Wort eingeschnappt und stumm aufnehmen. Beleidigt wird dann hinter dem Rücken der Andersmeinenden geschimpft und die Stimme erhoben. Ein Online Feedback über das Essen im Restaurant zu geben verhindert eine Diskussion mit dem Chefkoch.  Streit und Diskussion sind zwei Begriffe, die oft in einem negativen Kontext verwendet werden. Dennoch können sie auch positive Auswirkungen haben. In diesem Artikel geht es um das Thema "Streit und Diskussion". Es ist wichtig zu verstehen, dass es einen Unterschied zwischen den beiden Begriffen gibt und wie man sich in diesen Situationen verhalten sollte. Die Leute streiten im Allgemeinen nur deshalb, weil sie nicht diskutieren können, lautet ein Zitat von Gilbert K. Chesterton. Eine Streitkultur bezieht sich auf die Art und Weise, wie wir Menschen miteinander argumentieren und Konflikte lösen. Eine gute Streitkultur zeichnet sich durch eine respektvolle und konstruktive Diskussion aus, bei der die Beteiligten ihre Meinungen und Argumente offen und ehrlich austauschen können, ohne persönlich zu werden oder den anderen zu diffamieren. Eine positive Streitkultur zeichnet sich auch dadurch aus, dass die Beteiligten aktiv zuhören und versuchen, die Perspektive des anderen zu verstehen. Konflikte werden auf diese Weise als Chance gesehen, um das gegenseitige Verständnis zu verbessern und gemeinsam zu einer Lösung zu gelangen, anstatt nur darum zu kämpfen, wer Recht hat. Eine positive Streitkultur scheint in vielen Bereichen des gesellschaftlichen Lebens verloren gegangen zu sein. Hingegen gibt es auch immer wieder Beispiele für eine konstruktive und respektvolle Streitkultur, zum Beispiel in politischen Diskussionen, öffentlichen Debatten oder in zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen. Es gibt also durchaus noch Hoffnung, dass eine positive Streitkultur wieder mehr in den Vordergrund rückt. Eine Diskussion ist ein Austausch von Meinungen und Ideen zwischen zwei oder mehreren Personen. Das Ziel ist es, eine Lösung zu finden oder ein besseres Verständnis für ein Thema zu erreichen. Eine Diskussion ist normalerweise respektvoll und konstruktiv. Jeder hat die Möglichkeit, seine Meinung zu äußern und es wird versucht, gemeinsam eine Lösung zu finden. Im Gegensatz dazu ist ein Streit ein verbaler Konflikt zwischen zwei oder mehreren Personen. Das Ziel ist es, den anderen zu überzeugen oder zu besiegen. Ein Streit ist normalerweise nicht respektvoll und kann sehr emotional werden. Es besteht die Gefahr, dass die Beziehung zwischen den Beteiligten beeinträchtigt wird. Wenn Du in eine Diskussion gerätst, ist es wichtig, respektvoll zu bleiben und den Standpunkt des anderen zu respektieren. Versuche, Deine Meinung klar und sachlich zu äußern und höre aktiv zu, was die anderen sagen. Es ist wichtig, nicht persönlich zu werden und keine Angriffe zu starten. Ziel ist es, gemeinsam eine Lösung zu finden oder ein besseres Verständnis für ein Thema zu erreichen. Wenn Du in einen Streit gerätst, ist es wichtig, ruhig zu bleiben und nicht persönlich zu werden. Versuche, respektvoll zu bleiben und den Standpunkt des anderen zu verstehen. Es ist wichtig, keine Angriffe zu starten und keine Beleidigungen auszusprechen. Ziel sollte es sein, den Konflikt zu lösen und nicht den anderen zu besiegen. ...

Orthodoxy by Gilbert K. Chesterton audiobook. Orthodoxy is a book that has become a classic of Christian apologetics. In the book's preface Chesterton states the purpose is to "attempt an explanation, not of whether the Christian faith can be believed, but of how he personally has come to believe it." In it, Chesterton presents an original view of the Christian religion. He sees it as the answer to natural human needs, the "answer to a riddle" in his own words, and not simply as an arbitrary truth received from somewhere outside the boundaries of human experience.

A mitologia grega não era uma religião como a concebida no cristianismo, nem a fé em seus fundamentos era a mesma fé como a concebida pelos cristãos. Como comenta o escritor Gilbert K. Chesterton em "O Homem Eterno": "Mas quem melhor compreender os mitos perceberá mais plenamente que eles não são e nunca forma uma religião, no sentido em que o cristianismo e até mesmo o islamismo são religiões. Eles satisfazem algumas das necessidades de uma religião, principalmente a necessidade de fazer certas coisas em certas datas, a necessidade das ideias gêmeas de festividade e formalidade. Mas, embora deem ao homem um calendário, não lhe dão um credo. Não houve alguém que se levantasse e dissesse: 'Eu creio em Júpiter e em Juno e Netuno' etc, como quem se levanta e diz: 'Eu creio em Deus, Pai todo-poderoso" e o restante do credo dos Apóstolos. Muitos acreditaram em alguns mitos e não em outros, ou mais em alguns e menos em outros, ou então em qualquer um deles, mas apenas num sentido poético e muito vago. Não houve um momento em que todos os mitos foram coligidos numa ordem ortodoxa que os homens haveriam de defender lutando e enfrentando torturas." (Chesterton, "O Homem Eterno", p. 116, ed. Mundo Cristão) Assim, ao ser posteriormente melhor elaborada, a mitologia transforma-se em literatura. O prof. Clístenes Hafner Fernandes explica este processo, a relação da mitologia com a literatura antiga e como estudar ambas as áreas de conhecimento.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜http://www.filmgarantiti.it/it/articoli.php?id=296NUOVA SERIE TV SU PADRE BROWN CON BACI TRA DONNE, PROPAGANDA DELL'EUTANASIA, ECC.Il prete detective affronta il tutto con un moralismo rassegnato che non appartiene alla lucida razionalità dell'originale uscito dalla penna di Chesterton (molto meglio la serie tv degli anni '70 con Renato Rachel)E' partita la sesta stagione dei telefilm su Padre Brown e mi sono disposto a guardarla come le precedenti. Gli attori sono gli stessi delle varie stagioni: Mark Williams, che fa il protagonista, e i comprimari fissi Mrs Bridgette McCarty (Sorcha Cusacks), l'autista Sid Carter (Alex Price), il sergente Goodfellow (John Burton) e Penelope (Emer Kenny) che ha preso il posto di lady Felicia Montague (Nancy Carrol), partita per il Sudafrica nella quarta stagione.Nella nuova serie Penelope appare ingrassata, quantunque l'espressività dell'attrice sia inalterata. Pazienza: era la più carina. I telefilm sono nel complesso gradevoli, anche se manca quel quid che solo Chesterton sapeva dare. Infatti, la serie è solo ispirata al personaggio creato da Gilbert K. Chesterton. Il risultato è che un prete cattolico diventa detective, con storie che tengono presente che, appunto, si tratta di un prete cattolico nell'Inghilterra anglicana dei primi anni Cinquanta. Naturalmente, gli autori non hanno il genio letterario di Chesterton né, figurarsi, la sua preparazione teologica.MEGLIO DI SHERLOCK HOLMESNon a caso di Chesterton è in atto addirittura il processo di beatificazione per il suo acume cristiano e la sua capacità di renderlo accessibile a tutti. In un tempo in cui furoreggiava lo Sherlock Holmes di Arthur Conan Doyle, Chesterton volle intenzionalmente contrapporgli un detective che fosse l'opposto. Come Holmes usava il razionalismo ottocentesco ateo e positivista, così padre Brown risolveva gli enigmi tramite la razionalità scolastica di san Tommaso d'Aquino.Conan Doyle, quantunque battezzato cattolico, era spiritista (la via "scientifica" per l'aldilà). Chesterton, convertito da adulto al cattolicesimo, dei convertiti aveva la foga, la chiarezza di idee e la passione dottrinale.Naturalmente, niente di tutto questo si trova nei telefilm trasmessi in Italia dal canale televisivo Paramount. Sono dei gialli dal tono leggero, quasi da soap opera, e non hanno particolari pretese. Però, l'episodio L'angelo della misericordia fa sobbalzare sulla sedia i fans di Chesterton. Si tratta di una anziana signora che - lo si scopre alla fine - si dedica all'eutanasia attiva di malati consenzienti. Quando viene scoperta, da padre Brown, si lancia nelle solite giustificazioni che si sentono da parte dei sostenitori del «diritto» alla dolce morte. L'unica obiezione del prete-detective è che solo Dio può stabilire quando si deve morire.Se i movimenti per la vita odierni usassero questo tipo di argomentazione non avrebbero alcuna speranza di successo. Il diritto naturale, infatti, è razionale e oggettivo, ed esula dal semplice fideismo. Chesterton avrebbe avuto ben altri argomenti sul tema. Solo che detto tema ai suoi tempi era fuori discussione, sennò lui ci avrebbe lasciato le sue consuete folgorazioni, tanto era bravo a cogliere l'ovvio, anzi il talmente ovvio da essere sotto gli occhi di tutti e, perciò, quasi invisibile.ASSURDO E FUORI CONTESTODi più: il tema era fuori discussione anche negli anni Cinquanta, epoca in cui sono ambientati i telefilm e, in Inghilterra, un «angelo della misericordia» del genere avrebbe suscitato orrore e sarebbe finito impiccato senza complimenti. Ma non è questa l'unica perla della puntata. Tenetevi forte. La principale indiziata, ex novizia di convento, alla fine della storia dichiara di volere, adesso, dedicarsi al grande amore della sua vita. «Il convento?», chiede un'ingenua Penelope. No, risponde quella, e fa un nome. Subito arriva una macchina e ne scende una donna.Le due si abbracciano con trasporto e con la stessa macchina se ne vanno. Insomma, due lesbiche. L'unica reazione di padre Brown è un'alzata di sopracciglio, gli altri comprimari, dal canto loro, tacciono. La conclusione è politicamente corretta e denuncia l'esaurimento delle idee degli autori. Ma anche cronologicamente errata. L'Inghilterra degli early Fifties era ancora puritana ed erede di una mentalità vittoriana che solo l'avvento del beat dieci dopo avrebbe incrinato (i più anziani tra noi ricordano che, al loro apparire, i Beatles con quelle pettinature venivano definiti dalla stampa «scimmie»). Chesterton, poi, si rivolta nella tomba al vedere come viene trattato il suo cattolicissimo e ortodossissimo personaggio.Rino CammilleriFonte: La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana, 23/06/2018

REFLECTION QUOTES “Love is an act of the will…that leads to action on behalf of its object.” ~Voddie Baucham, Dean of Theology at African Christian University (Zambia) “A god who is all love, all grace, all mercy, no sovereignty, no justice, no holiness, and no wrath is an idol.” ~R. C. Sproul (1939-2017), theologian and pastor “We fear men so much, because we fear God so little. One fear cures another. When man's terror scares you, turn your thoughts to the wrath of God.” “It is not bigotry to be certain we are right; but it is bigotry to be unable to imagine how we might possibly have gone wrong.” ~Gilbert K. Chesterton (1874-1936), English writer and literary critic “It is not because the truth is too difficult to see that we make mistakes. It may even lie on the surface; but we make mistakes because the easiest and most comfortable course for us is to seek insight where it accords with our emotions — especially selfish ones.” “The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie. ‘One word of truth outweighs the world.'” “If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?” ~Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (1918-2008), novelist and famed Soviet dissident “Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established, that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it.” ~Blaise Pascal (1623-1662), French mathematician and thinker “The wisdom of God devised a way for the love of God to deliver sinners from the wrath of God while not compromising the righteousness of God.” ~John Piper, Christian pastor and writer “At the cross, God accepted his own unbreakable terms of justice.” ~Philip Yancey, American author SERMON PASSAGE Romans 1:18-32, 12:18-21 (NASB) Romans 1 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written: “But the righteous one will live by faith.” 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, being understood by what has been made, so that they are without excuse. 21 For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their reasonings, and their senseless hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and they exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible mankind, of birds, four-footed animals, and crawling creatures. 24 Therefore God gave them up to vile impurity in the lusts of their hearts, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. 25 For they exchanged the truth of God for falsehood, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26 For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged natural relations for that which is contrary to nature, 27 and likewise the men, too, abandoned natural relations with women and burned in their desire toward one another, males with males committing shameful acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. 28 And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a depraved mind, to do those things that are not proper, 29 people having been filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, and evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and malice; they are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 without understanding, untrustworthy, unfeeling, and unmerciful; 32 and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also approve of those who practice them. Romans 12 18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all people. 19 Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written: “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. 20 “But if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

“The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult and left untried.”  -  Gilbert K. Chesterton Today's verses share some of the benefits of knowing God and living in relationship with him. The Way may not be the easy road, but it will never be without reward. Today's Scripture:  Proverbs 2:7-8.  he stores up sound wisdom for the upright;     he is a shield to those who walk in integrity, guarding the paths of justice     and watching over the way of his saints.  (ESV) He's a rich mine of Common Sense for those who live well, a personal bodyguard to the candid and sincere. He keeps his eye on all who live honestly, and pays special attention to his loyally committed ones.  (MSG) If you need to be encouraged by the last line of these verses or to have it re-enforced slowly read Psalm 121 which uses the same Hebrew verb six times in eight verses! The benefits of knowing God are that God himself is Storing up practical wisdom for you Shielding you Guarding your path Keeping you, preserving you If you want a place to see and answer the questions I ask in the episode and to keep track of the discoveries you make as we study Proverbs, we include a set of free journal pages for this devotional series in each of our Sunday emails  Free journal pages to follow the study:  http://www.getwisdom.link/email (www.getwisdom.link/email) http://www.getwisdompublishing.com (www.getwisdompublishing.com) http://www.graceandthegravelroad.com (www.graceandthegravelroad.com)

Find Holiday Party online – Patreon: patreon,com/HOLIDAYPARTY Twitter: @HOLIDAYPARTYPOD / Instagram: HOLIDAYPARTYPODCAST / Facebook: @HOLIDAYPARTYPODCAST / HOLIDAYPARTYPODCAST.COM Find Alyssa – Twitter: @alyssapants / alyssapants.com Find Disa – Spotify: open.spotify.com/user/1243777842 SHOW NOTES Definition of the topic Inconvenience, as defined by Merriam-Webster is:  Something that is inconvenient….or not convenient especially in giving trouble or annoyance The top definition on Urban Dictionary, with 16 thumbs up, is that Inconvenience is “a version of baseball you play when you do not have enough people to field two full teams. The rules are that “you can only hit to right field or left field, which you have to call before you are up. If you hit to the opposite field, you are out. The outfield can throw the ball to the pitcher to get the lead runner out.” Conveniently, or inconveniently depending on how you look at it, this is also the most downvoted definition of “inconvenience” on Urban Dictionary, with 47 thumbs down. It was posted on July 12, 2004 by “Steve”. The only other definition of “inconvenience” on UD was posted on November 2, 2019, and states that inconvenience is the “trouble or difficulty caused to one’s personal requirements or comfort.”  It has no votes either way, and was added by the user “TheUnseenWriter” (lol) History of the holiday According to Worldwide Weird Holidays, Inconvenience Yourself Day has been celebrated on the 4th Wednesday in February since 2006. The holiday was created by Julie Thompson, the then (and now?) president of Environmental Resources Network in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, to encourage everyone to recognize how our actions impact the lives of those around us I checked, and this sadly means that it will never fall on Leap Day, which is too bad because it would make it an incredibly inconvenient holiday “It’s easy to become so focused on our own crazy to-do lists that we forget to hold open a door, let a customer with only a few items get ahead of us in line, thank someone who has helped us or just be kind to others when there is no tangible benefit to us.” Its goal is not only to recognize a person’s self awareness in life, but also to acknowledge other peoples’ lives and actions as well. There are times where you need to put yourself first, but this day is meant to encourage you to try to put someone else before you And according to WWH, “the secret payoff of inconveniencing ourselves: it makes us feel good. Who knows? It could become a habit. Slow down, say thanks, and have a happy Inconvenience Yourself Day!” Fun facts and opinions A 2018 NYTimes opinion piece by Tim Wu, a law professor at Columbia, entitled “The Tyranny of Convenience”, says that “convenience is the most underestimated and least understood force in the world today.” Defining convenience as the more efficient and easier ways of doing personal tasks, Wu describes its effects on our individual lives and our economies.  “Convenience seems to make our decisions for us, trumping what we like to imagine are our true preferences. Easy is better, easiest is best.”  “Convenience has the ability to make other options unthinkable.” Why wash your dishes or clothes by hand when you can let machines do it? When you can watch streaming television or listen to a podcast anytime you want, why would you bother with waiting for a prescribed radio or television hour? Why would you use BIng when you have Google? Resisting convenience, such as refusing to get a smartphone or printing out Mapquest instructions instead of using a GPS, must “come to require a special kind of dedication that is often taken for eccentricity, if not fanaticism.”  The “article describes two separate cultural waves of convenience,” with the first taking place in the early 20th century with labor-saving inventions for the home and industry, such as convenience foods, washing machines, electric vacuum cleaners, and factory farming. The inventions were quickly embraced, since people thought it would free them from extraneous labor and offer the possibility of leisure for the first time, meaning that time could be used instead for hobbies, education, or binge watching I Love Lucy or The Jetsons This first wave began to wane and people seemed to intentionally embrace some inconvenience in the 60s and 70s in order to resist conformity and retain a sense of individuality. So it was fitting that the second wave of convenience, which occurred in the 1980s, would co-opt this ideal by presenting the idea of personal technology with the invention of the Sony Walkman.  According to Wu, “if the first convenience revolution promised to make life and work easier for you, the second promised to make it easier to be you. The new technologies were catalysts of selfhood. They conferred efficiency on self-expression.”  This version of convenience is no longer occupied with saving physical labor or creating free time--”it is about minimizing the mental resources, the mental exertion, required to choose among the options that express ourselves. Convenience is one-click, one-stop shopping, the seamless experience of “plug and play.” The ideal is personal preference with no effort.” But convenience has a dark side. “With its promise of smooth, effortless efficiency, it threatens to erase the sort of struggles and challenges that help give meaning to life. Created to free us, it can become a constraint on what we are willing to do, and thus in a subtle way it can enslave us.”  We pay a premium for convenience. As Wu states, “We are spoiled by immediacy and become annoyed by tasks that remain at the old level of effort and time. When you can skip the line and buy concert tickets on your phone, waiting in line to vote in an election is irritating.” (On the other hand, I miss the days of buying concert tickets in person. Not only were they cheaper, but I’m a sentimental fuck who loves keeping the physical tickets as a memento) Wu presents the concept of a paradoxical truth that today’s technologies of individualization are technologies of mass individualization, and that customization can be surprisingly homogenizing. Social media like Facebook and Instagram are vehicles intended to help you present your unique self, yet their formats and conventions force us to present ourselves as overwhelmingly the same He argues that “being a person is only partly about having and exercising choices. It is also about how we face up to situations that are thrust upon us, about overcoming worthy challenges and finishing difficult tasks--the struggles that help make us who we are.” “Today’s cult of convenience fails to acknowledge that difficulty is a constitutive feature of human experience. Convenience is all destination and no journey...We are becoming people who care mainly or only about outcomes.” Wu recommends that “we need to consciously embrace the inconvenient...if you want to be someone, you cannot allow convenience to be the value that transcends all others. Struggle is not always a problem. Sometimes struggle is a solution. It can be the solution to the question of who you are.” We already do this to a great degree, though we call these inconveniences other names, such as hobbies or passions. If you’re into wood carving, glass-blowing, exercise, or talking about inconvenience on your hobby podcast, you already making inconvenient choices in order to create your own character and give your life meaning.  Wu concludes by insisting that “we must never forget the joy of doing something slow and something difficult, the satisfaction of not doing what is easiest. The constellation of inconvenient choices may be all that stands between us and a life of total, efficient conformity.” If you do find yourself annoyed by inconveniences that were not intentional, such as locking yourself out, dealing with intense traffic, or breaking your phone, sersanoconsulting.com has some advice for how to change your perspective and therefore your experience of the inconvenient.  Remind yourself that these problems are almost certainly temporary Pay attention to your thoughts and emotions during these moments of inconvenience. See if you can take a different course of action that will counteract the typical build-up of frustration and irritation. For example, if you lock yourself out of your home and catch yourself in a spiral of blame or anger, see what else you can do with the time you’re about to spend locked out, such as taking a walk and exploring a different neighborhood, or in my case, developing a real appreciation for how fucking difficult it is to actually break into someone’s home thanks to modern door locks You don’t have to get mentally stuck when your plans go off the rails, since the misfortune is not likely to be eternal and you can make the choice to not let that time and emotion go to waste A thinkpiece from HackSpirit.com entitled “These 20 inconvenient truths about life are hard to admit but they’ll change your life when you do” highlight some “hard truths about life that will benefit you in the long run” to accept, including: We haven’t got that much control in life Our expectations are what cause are [sic] suffering Everything, even you, is imperfect Worrying is a complete waste of time The best lessons often come from hardships We often confuse being busy with being productive Most of us don’t need more to be happy, we need less As a society, we’re way too focused on outer beauty Most arguments we have are pointless It’s easier to hold onto the way things are than to learn and grow Everyone will die You give your own life meaning There is no such thing as a perfect partner Life isn’t that serious Everything will come to an end Be realistic Make a change or don’t complain The best lessons often come from hardships (see brutal truth #3) Most of us don’t need more to be happy, we need less (smh) Here’s mine: Proofreading is a necessary inconvenience Science shows that inconvenience can actually be really  good for you, especially when helping others!  Mentalfloss sites that “studies indicate that the very act of giving back to the community boosts your happiness, health, and sense of well-being”, and offers “7 Scientific Benefits of Helping Others” “Helping others can help you live longer” because activities such as volunteering or helping those in need can improve your “ability to manage stress and stave off disease” as well as reduce rates of depression and increase a sense of life satisfaction. This could be related to the fact that volunteering can alleviate loneliness and support our social lives, which are factors that strongly affect our long-term health One study shows that “altruism is contagious,” and found that “people are more likely to perform feats of generosity after observing another do the same”, which in turn can have a ripple effect within a community  “Helping others makes us happy”! A team of sociologists “tracked 2000 people over a five-year period and found that Americans who described themselves as ‘very happy’ volunteered at least 5.8 hours per month.” This boost could come from being the byproduct of being more physically active, being more socially active, or even from providing volunteers with a neurochemical sense of reward “Helping others may help with chronic pain.” One study showed that participants who suffered from chronic pain experienced a reduction in their own symptoms after working as peer volunteers “Helping others lowers blood pressure.” Some research has shown that “older individuals who volunteered for at least 200 hours a year decreased their risk of hypertension by 40%. This could possibly be because they were provided with more social opportunities, which help relieve loneliness and the stress that often accompanies it.”  “Helping others promotes positive behaviors in teens,” as teenage volunteers generally have better grades and self-image And finally, “helping others gives us a sense of purpose and satisfaction,” particularly when a person no longer holds a life-defining role such as “worker” or “parent.”  Psychology Today echoes these sentiments with their article, “In Helping Others, You Help Yourself” The “warm glow” of pro-sociality that one can experience after helping someone else “is thought to be one of the drivers of generous behavior in humans [because] the positive feelings associated with helping others is that being prosocial reinforces our sense of relatedness to others, thus helping us meet our most basic psychological needs.”  Activities such as volunteering, altruistic behavior, and spending money on others rather than ourselves have repeatedly shown boosts in well-being, a sense of meaning and purpose, general happiness, and lower rates of depression.  There is even neural evidence suggesting a link between acts of generosity and happiness in the brain. Simply the intent and commitment to generosity can stimulate the neural change and make people happier fMRI studies show that donating money to charities activates the same (mesolimbic) regions of the brain that respond to monetary rewards or sex Other research from Columbia University shows that helping others regulate their emotions helps us regulate our own, decreases symptoms of depression, and improve our well-being since we are enhancing our own emotion regulation skills “Social regulation of emotion is a key component of our relationships. Whenever we navigate children through tantrums, help a friend through a breakup, or rely on our partners for comfort after a challenging day, we often engage in social regulation of emotion... “The two most common ways to help others regulate their emotions are through acceptance ([by] showing empathy by validating their feelings) and reappraisal ([or] helping others think about their situation in a different way).” The study was done over a 3 week period, during which “participants were provided with an anonymous online environment where they could share their personal stories of stressful life events.” They were also able to provide emotional support to each other by replying to entries with short, empathetic messages.  “Participants helped each other by identifying potential distortions of thinking, suggesting reappraisal strategies or providing words of acceptance. Responses were rated for their degree of helpfulness and participants were given the opportunity to express their gratitude for the acceptance or reappraisal messages that they received from others. “The results showed that helping others to regulate their emotions predicted better emotional and cognitive outcomes for those participants who were giving the help. Moreover, because heightened levels of self-focused attention are common in depression, the more people helped others, the more their helping behavior predicted a reduction in their own depression, thanks to the use of reappraisal in their own daily lives. The article recommends that the “next time you find yourself helping someone with regulating their emotions, consider how your efforts may be providing you with an opportunity to practice for future situations at a distance, and consequently, improving your emotional well-being. Thus when it comes to the benefits of social regulation, St. Francis of Assisi’s words ring especially poignant: ‘For it is in the giving that we receive.’” There may be times when doing something kindly inconvenient will go south, though, such as the following examples from the Reader’s Digest article “14 Random Acts of Kindness That Went Totally Wrong” Reddit user dendaddy’s wife donated her kidney to a stranger, and the bills were supposed to be taken care of by the recipient. However, dendaddy and his wife learned that the recipient’s insurance hadn’t paid the bill in full and the recipient wasn’t paying it either. Since then, a collection agency has been after dendaddy’s family for the inconvenient sum of $10,000 Judith Re told Reader’s Digest,”I was purchasing fruit at a truck where several homeless men were congregating. As I purchased my fruits, I bought apples to give to each of the men. [but as I handed out the last apple, one of the men told me], ‘I’m sorry but we can’t eat these because our teeth aren’t strong enough.’” “Working out on the steps of an amphitheater, Scott Deuty, author of the book ‘Secrets of an Over 50 Fat Man’, noticed a woman and her daughter who were also working out on the steps. Inspired by the scene, Deuty responded by giving a copy of his book to the mother. Apparently, this gesture was not appreciated because the daughter responded by angrily throwing the book down the stairs!” I mean. a) what narcissistic maniac is just carrying around copies of his own goddamn book while working out and b) who the fuck wants to have to now carry a goddamn book around while they’re trying to work out that some idiot just handed them and c) the implication that the woman was fat is super obvious to everyone except apparently Scott Deuty When Veonne Anderson saw a pregnant woman smoking, she wanted to give her an encouraging word about quitting smoking for her baby’s sake. She started by telling her how pretty she looked, then asked her how many months she was. “How many…? What?”, the woman replied. “You’re pregnant, no? I mean, I thought…” “Not pregnant. Just fat.” Instant karma. Fuck you, Veonne. “When you see someone driving with a flat tire, it seems reasonable to flag them down. But Reddit user, whistledick, went beyond that simple kindness, pulling over and offering to take the driver to a convenience store to purchase a can of fix-a-flat. Unfortunately, according to whistledick, “Not only did they ride in my car silently, offering no thanks, but they also stole my wallet out of my console when I wasn’t looking.” When a homeless man asked Reddit user, hourmc, for food, hourmc gave the man the chicken salad sandwich he had with him. “Ain’t nobody gonna eat that,” the man said, refusing the sandwich. Hourmc recalled feeling “strangely rejected” Yet another Reddit user, capatiller, let a longtime friend stay in her spare bedroom when the friend was leaving an abusive husband. Capatiller’s friend then showed her gratitude by starting an affair with capatiller’s fiance, and the two of them then kicked capatiller out of the house and took up residency there together.  Our final Reddit user named Thundernut was trail running when he encountered a fallen tree on the path. He decided to move the tree as a good deed, but then felt a pain on his knee. Then another. He soon realized he was being attacked by a swarm of bees that were nesting in the tree. Thundernut then spent three days in the hospital with anaphylaxis That all said, if your attempts to help someone backfire, take advantage of those emotional regulation skills of yours and remember that your discomfort is simply temporary and that anaphylaxis will only help your journey to being a better version of you :) What it means to me This was an incredibly inconvenient holiday to research “Inconvenient” is really inconvenient to type It’s more obvious that modern day conveniences are actually having some long-term consequences. Convenience food is terrible for you, single-use plastics and other similar inventions are terrible for the environment, and social media is terrible for your social life Activities to celebrate Whatever you do today, be sure to do it with the #InconvenienceYourselfDay hashtag on all your social media Worldwide Weird Holidays has a few suggestions to “slow the pace of [your] hectic lives, if only for today.” Call a friend instead of texting Write a letter instead of a Facebook message Cook a favorite meal instead of throwing something together (or getting delivery) Maybe even get the “good” china out of storage, because what the hell are you even saving it for? Take a walk without any mobile devices and look around at your neighborhood, not just the view of the sidewalk you see past your cell phone WikiHow, as always, comes to the rescue with the following breakdown of precisely how to Inconvenience Yourself today Be there for someone else emotionally--if someone you know needs to talk, give them your full attention. Give them advice and try to get them to see a positive aspect in whatever they’re going through. Everyone loves smiles and hugs, especially in a stressful situation Make children feel appreciated--”When parents are buried in work, household chores to maintain a clean & safe house, and bill payment deadlines to meet, it’s hard to set some time off to spend quality time with kids. Help them out with homework, have fun preparing for a test by creating index card games, take them to the park, or even play their favorite video game with them.” Perform a random act of kindness to a stranger--”don’t hesitate to let someone in the supermarket line before you if they have a few things while you have a full cart. Open the door for a senior citizen and allow them to walk in/out before you.” Be patient on the road--”Allow people to go in front of you to make a merge and never play the ‘bumper-to-bumper game’ so that people can’t merge. Avoid taking a parking space because it’s closer and more convenient for you; go further back to allow someone else the chance - it’s also good exercise to walk.” Achieve success at work--”Use this day to re-evaluate how you present yourself towards others. Offer help to someone first; don’t wait for them to come to you. Explain things with specific instructions instead of a basic overview. Take the time out and ensure that they are presented with the best assistance.” Avoid doing “me” things--”’Me’ things are activities or wants that people desire to do in their spare or leisure time by themselves. Examples could be sleeping in to a later time, taking a stress-free walk by themselves, or reading a book in a peaceful and quiet place. Agree to an outing with friends or attend your daughter’s stuffed animal tea party.” Reflect on “Inconvenience Yourself Day”-- “If you have put someone else before you, how did it make you feel? Were you satisfied or unhappy with the result(s)? Try to adapt and practice this everyday and see if it comes back to you.” Weekendnotes.com offers this comprehensive schedule for a proper celebration of the holiday “You start the day by waking up at 5AM, you need to celebrate the day to its fullest The first thing you do is start a load of all your bath towels Then, you take a freezing cold shower for 15 minutes When you’re done you realize you have no towel You figure out that problem and then you get dressed The thing is that you don’t get dressed the convenient way Put your clothes on backwards and inside out Once you’re completely dressed you go get the ingredients for cereal As you are pouring the milk you look at the time and then freak out, you’re late for work You spill the milk and then decide that you need something to eat You get your purse/wallet and then remember you need your coat You put your purse/wallet down and your coat on and get your car keys off the key hook You get in the car and hurry to the store Once you’re at the checkout you remember you have no money, because you forgot your purse/wallet You hurry to your car, just to remember that you locked your keys in the car You call the police to see if they can open the door, but the closest police man is over a half an hour away You call a friend who thankfully takes you to work But you’re late! And your boss is mad at you, for being late for the past week He gives you an insane amount of overtime, which you know you deserve You finish a hard day of work at 7PM, dealing with various inconveniences you made for yourself You didn’t wear your suit, so you had to borrow another employees extra one Well, you spilled coffee on it, so you had to find another just like it You yell at your friend, because she was yelling at you for ruining her suit and you just made the meaning of the special holiday come true  You return to the store and a police officer arrives. He goes through many ID questions, but realizes you are legit You go home just to find spoiled, bumpy, smelly milk all over your kitchen floor After you clean it up you realize it is 8PM You put your cell phone in the charger and the power to the house turns off You change into your most uncomfortable outfit and go to sleep INCONVENIENCE YOURSELF DAY Mixtape Help!

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ http://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=5713VOGLIONO CONVINCERCI CHE LA DONNA SINGLE SIA PIU' FELICE DI QUELLA SPOSATA... MA NON E' VERO di Rino CammilleriMi ha incuriosito un articolo della vaticanista del «Messaggero» del 26 maggio. Riporta la tesi, di sconvolgente novità, del «noto» (?) accademico inglese Paul Dolan, docente di scienze comportamentali alla «prestigiosa» (tutto quello che è british è sempre prestigioso) London School of Economics, nel cui stemma, chissà perché, c'è un castoro. Fondata nel 1895 da membri della Fabian Society (all'erudito il piacere di indagare su questa esclusiva associazione), tra cui George Bernard Shaw (l'avversario numero uno di Gilbert K. Chesterton, tanto per intenderci), ogni tanto produce qualcosa che va, tanto per cambiare, nella direzione del «progresso».Ora tocca alla tesi di Dolan, tesa a sfatare il mito, bigotto e reazionario, della donna che si realizza nel matrimonio. Le ricerche condotte dal professore dimostrano che le singles sono più spensierate delle sposate. Infatti, quando si fanno indagini sociologiche di questo tipo, attenzione al trucco: «Le donne sposate dicono poi di essere più felici di altre donne ma solo se il proprio marito è presente in una stanza, perché appena il marito se ne va, e a queste donne viene fatta la stessa domanda, affermano il contrario, spesso accusando il marito di essere carente in tante cose».E c'era bisogno di scomodare équipes di intervistatori per scoprire l'acqua calda? I cattolici lo sanno da sempre che il matrimonio è un sacramento, e che i sacramenti sono vie per la Grazia. Solo nelle fiabe i due colombi che, dopo peripezie, convolano a giuste nozze «vissero felici e contenti». Se Gesù Cristo ha creato un canale speciale e apposito per il matrimonio, è perché è una situazione in cui la Grazia ci vuole, eccome. Per i cattolici è insomma una via di santificazione. La quale, perciò, non è tutta rose e fiori. Ma senza è peggio, come si può verificare dalle statistiche.La donna single è più felice di quella sposata? Ma allora perché le singles spasimano per trovare l'anima gemella? L'immagine storica della «zitella» inacidita è solo frutto della propaganda clericale e/o maschilista nei secoli? Non c'è bisogno dei sociologi per verificare quanto segue:a) le donne vanno al cinema per vedere il loro attore preferito; gli uomini, per vedere un film;b) le donne che si riuniscono al ristorante o anche per l'8 marzo finiscono col parlare di uomini (o di figli se li hanno); gli uomini parlano di calcio. Ma al professore britannico risulta altro: «Da quello che a noi risulta è che i sottogruppi di popolazione più sani e felici sono quelli che non si sono mai sposati o avuto figli». Ah, sì? Allora perché questa corsa disperata al figlio a tutti costi, perfino per le coppie gay? Donde tutta questa gente che fa letteralmente i salti mortali per farsi fecondare artificialmente, e affronta viaggi, spese e pure debiti per coronare il suo sogno? Com'è che, se il matrimonio è fonte sicura di infelicità, tutti vogliono prima o poi sposarsi, perfino gli omosessuali, perfino i preti?Teniamo presente che anche il divorzio è conseguenza di un istinto insopprimibile, quello di trovare la felicità nel matrimonio. Avete mai visto qualche divorziato o divorziata che ha gettato la spugna? C'è forse qualcuno a cui l'esperienza negativa sia bastata per smettere per sempre di cercare compagnia? Potremmo continuare, ma si tratta solo di considerazioni di buonsenso. Mica da sociologi. A meno che la somma di infelicità umana causata dal «progresso» sia ormai talmente insopportabile da richiedere «studi» rassicuranti. Come in 1984 di Orwell, tanto per cambiare: nella penuria generale cagionata dal regime, i sudditi mangiavano tavolette sintetiche, che la propaganda asfissiante convinceva a trovare gustose.

Romancier, journaliste et essayiste anglais. Chesterton porte un regard acéré sur le monde moderne et ses prétentions. Soutenu par une écriture jubilatoire et un art du nonsense, cette forme d'humour typiquement anglais, remarquable, il fait apparaître l'absurdité et l'arrogance d'une modernité infatuée d'elle-même, convaincue de sa supériorité sur toutes les époques qui l'ont précédée. Ardent apologiste du christianisme, de l'anthropologie chrétienne, seule susceptible de faire contrepoids à la démesure contemporaine (Orthodoxie, 1908). Cycle de conférences proposé dans le cadre du pôle de recherche, Année 2015/2016 de l'Observatoire de la modernité.
