It's so gross watching the tail-wagging excitement of Israel supporters in response to this shooting. They're so happy they have another rhetorical weapon with which to bludgeon pro-Palestine voices into silence. They can barely contain their glee. Reading by Tim Foley.
In this episode, we listen to the thoughtful words of a man, as depicted in Sangam Literary work, Aganaanooru 134, penned by Seethalai Saaththanaar. The verse is situated on the radiant red earth of the ‘Mullai’ or ‘Forest Landscape’ and paints a picturesque portrait of this lush land in the rains. வானம் வாய்ப்பக் கவினி கானம்கமஞ் சூல் மா மழை கார் பயந்து இறுத்தென,மணி மருள் பூவை அணி மலர் இடைஇடை,செம் புற மூதாய் பரத்தலின், நன் பலமுல்லை வீ கழல் தாஅய், வல்லோன்செய்கை அன்ன செந் நிலப் புறவின்;வாஅப் பாணி வயங்கு தொழிற் கலிமாத்தாஅத் தாள் இணை மெல்ல ஒதுங்க,இடி மறந்து, ஏமதி வலவ! குவிமுகைவாழை வான் பூ ஊழுறுபு உதிர்ந்தஒழிகுலை அன்ன திரிமருப்பு ஏற்றொடுகணைக் கால் அம் பிணைக் காமர் புணர் நிலைகடுமான் தேர் ஒலி கேட்பின்,நடுநாட் கூட்டம் ஆகலும் உண்டே. A delightful trip into the forests, in these words of the man to his charioteer, on his return home, after completing a mission: “As the skies had rendered their grace, the forest has turned picturesque. As huge and pregnant clouds have brought in the rainy season and stayed behind, amidst the exquisite, sapphire-like ironwood flowers, the crimson-backed red velvet bugs crawl around, and many, fine flowers of the wild jasmine loosen from their stalks and fall down, upon this red-earthed forest, akin to an expert's painting. So that the leaping feet of these speeding, proud horses move softly, do not goad them, O charioteer! For if the male deer with twisted antlers, in the shape of the empty fruit cluster of a banana tree, whose closed buds of white flowers have reached ripeness and fallen down, and the thick-legged beautiful female deer hear the sound of our chariot, with speeding horses, their desirable state of union in the middle of the night would be disturbed!” Let’s trot along with the man through the rain-washed roads and learn more! The man starts by focusing on how the rains have poured, and as we know, when rains pour, the earth smiles, and brings great beauty to the face of the land. The rainy season had stepped in, reeled in by the clouds, and because of their handiwork, dark-blue ironwood flowers were blooming, and in between the dark blue blooms, red velvet bugs were frolicking about, making the wild jasmine flowers fall down. The whole scene before him seems like the artwork of an expert painter, says the man. This makes me yearn to see the paintings of that era, which would have surely been a much-earlier artistic predecessor of the famous 19th century landscape paintings. Returning, we find the man now turning to his charioteer and asking him specifically not to goad the horses to make them fly fast, instead to ensure they run softly. This is a curious request indeed! In song after song, we have only seen the man ask his charioteer to hasten the horses, fly like the wind, so that he can embrace his lady. What could be the reason for this man’s change of stance? He reveals that to us by concluding if the charioteer were to rush fast, the sound of the speeding chariot might disturb the joyful union of a male deer and its mate at midnight. In an interesting coincidence, that very male deer and its mate that the lady in the previous verse predicted her man would see and return back to her, leap into this verse in one of those rare continuums in this anthology. The man’s wish to not disturb the deer echoes the immense love brimming over in his heart to be united with his beloved, wanting not to bring that pain to any other life. What a caring and considerate human he is! Such thoughtfulness is indeed the need of the hour and this ancient ancestor truly inspires us to welcome not just other humans but all other forms of life in our loving circle of care!

Bill Hawkins, head of Trade and Investment at Sussex Strategy Group and Managing Principal of GrowthBridge, examines whether the Trump administration is precipitating an end to globalization as we've known it since the Cold War. Drawing on recent research papers in VoxEU and Foreign Affairs, he argues in favour of the thesis globalization has historically thrived under a single hegemon willing to create "public goods" like stable trade rules and security guarantees, but that America is now abandoning this role based on a bipartisan consensus that past trade agreements haven't benefited ordinary Americans. The Hub's editor-at-large discusses with Hawkins how America could actually be helping China's rise in global dominance through trade wars The Hub is Canada's fastest growing independent digital news outlet.

LESSON 226My Home Awaits Me. I Will Hasten There.If I so choose, I can depart this world entirely. It is not death which makes this possible, but it is change of mind about the purpose of the world. If I believe it has a value as I see it now, so will it still remain for me. But if I see no value in the world as I behold it, nothing that I want to keep as mine or search for as a goal, it will depart from me. For I have not sought for illusions to replace the truth.Father, my home awaits my glad return. Your Arms are open and I hear Your Voice. What need have I to linger in a place of vain desires and of shattered dreams, when Heaven can so easily be mine?- Jesus Christ in ACIM

In a Guardian interview, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said a planned humanitarian zone in southern Gaza would be a "concentration camp" for Gaza's Arabs. On this week's Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten says that Olmert disgraces the suffering of Jews in the Holocaust who were placed in actual concentration camps before their murder. Hasten says that in reality, Israel aims to create humanitarian zones, sterile of Hamas, for hundreds of thousands of Gazans, thus protecting them away from the front lines. He says that Olmert's wording does tremendous damage to those fighting for Israel in the public diplomacy arena. Photo Credit: CC BY 3.0 br, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=667029

Joel 3:1-21 “For behold, in those days and at that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, 2 I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. And I will enter into judgment with them there, on behalf of my people and my herit-age Israel, because they have scattered them among the nations and have divided up my land, 3 and have cast lots for my people, and have traded a boy for a prostitute, and have sold a girl for wine and have drunk it. 4 “What are you to me, O Tyre and Sidon, and all the regions of Philistia? Are you pay-ing me back for something? If you are paying me back, I will return your payment on your own head swiftly and speedily. 5 For you have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried my rich treasures into your temples. 6 You have sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks in order to remove them far from their own border. 7 Behold, I will stir them up from the place to which you have sold them, and I will return your payment on your own head. 8 I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the people of Judah, and they will sell them to the Sabeans, to a nation far away, for the Lord has spoken.” 9 Proclaim this among the nations: Consecrate for war; stir up the mighty men. Let all the men of war draw near; let them come up. 10 Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears; let the weak say, “I am a warrior.” 11 Hasten and come, all you surrounding nations, and gather yourselves there. Bring down your warriors, O Lord. 12 Let the nations stir themselves up and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; for there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations. 13 Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Go in, tread, for the winepress is full. The vats overflow, for their evil is great. 14 Multitudes, multitudes, in the valley of decision! For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision. 15 The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining. 16 The Lord roars from Zion, and utters his voice from Jerusalem, and the heavens and the earth quake. But the Lord is a refuge to his people, a stronghold to the people of Israel. 17 “So you shall know that I am the Lord your God, who dwells in Zion, my holy mountain. And Jerusalem shall be holy, and strangers shall never again pass through it. 18 “And in that day the mountains shall drip sweet wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the streambeds of Judah shall flow with water; and a fountain shall come forth from the house of the Lord and water the Valley of Shittim. 19 “Egypt shall become a desolation and Edom a desolate wilderness, for the violence done to the people of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land. 20 But Judah shall be inhabited forever, and Jerusalem to all generations. 21 I will avenge their blood, blood I have not avenged, for the Lord dwells in Zion.

Passage: 1 As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God. 2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God? 3 My tears have been my food day and night, while they say to me all the day long, “Where is your God?” 4 These things I remember, as I pour out my soul: how I would go with the throng and lead them in procession to the house of God with glad shouts and songs of praise, a multitude keeping festival. 5 Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God. 6 My soul is cast down within me; therefore I remember you from the land of Jordan and of Hermon, from Mount Mizar. 7 Deep calls to deep at the roar of your waterfalls; all your breakers and your waves have gone over me. 8 By day the LORD commands his steadfast love, and at night his song is with me, a prayer to the God of my life. 9 I say to God, my rock: “Why have you forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?” 10 As with a deadly wound in my bones, my adversaries taunt me, while they say to me all the day long, “Where is your God?” 11 Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God. (Psalm 42:1–11) Song: Psalm 42 (I Will Praise Him Again) by Jonny Robinson and Tiarne Tranter Lyrics: Why my soul are you downcast Why are you troubled within For I will hope in my Saviour my God And will praise Him yet praise Him again Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah I will praise Him yet praise Him again Morning by morning new mercies are streaming I trust in your goodness where I cannot see You have been faithful whenever I wandered Lord give me the hope that I need Prayer: Come, O Lord my God, my soul is a thirst for thee. As the deer longs for the waterbrooks, so longs my soul for thee. Hasten to my aid. Draw me to thyself. Fill me with thy presence. Make me a temple of thy Spirit. Amen. —Ambrose of Milan

This week, I take a closer look at Meditations 3.14, where Marcus Aurelius encourages us not to “wander from our path any longer.” It's a meditation you've probably heard before, and while some translations simplify it to “put away your books,” I find that framing a little misleading. Books, much like hobbies or relaxation activities, have their place. They support our well-being and our pursuit of Virtue—when used in the right way. In this episode, I unpack what Marcus really means. I talk about how there's a responsible way to interpret the advice against distraction. It's not about abandoning things that bring us joy or rest; it's about being mindful of whether those things serve our ultimate goal of becoming better human beings. I use the example of video games to illustrate this balance. Rest is essential, and enjoyment isn't the enemy, but when indulgence turns into avoidance, we drift away from our pursuit of Virtue. I also explore the differences in translation between Long and Fark, and why I prefer Fark's version here. Fark highlights that it's not the activity itself that's the issue—it's the pursuit of recognition, fame, or self-indulgent goals that pull us off course. The bottom line is this: hobbies and relaxation are fine, even necessary, but they must never contend with our pursuit of Virtue. When they do, they stop being harmless and become our greatest vices. Meditation referenced: “Do not wander from your path any longer, for you are not likely to read your note-books or your deeds of ancient Rome and Greece or your extracts from their writings, which you laid up against old age. Hasten then to the goal, lay idle hopes aside, and come to your own help, if you care at all for yourself, while still you may.” — Meditations 3.14 Join the Practical Stoicism community, the Society of Stoics, at https://community.stoicismpod.com.
