[Editor’s note: There is every good reason to predict that United States Senator Chris Van Hollen from the state of Maryland is going to become extremely popular on X (formerly known as Twitter), and that Mr. Van Vollen will in the near future announce that he will not be seeking to serve another term as Maryland’s Senator.
Are legendary NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers and former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura going to become relieved or disappointed?… Americans might be about to find out which candidate for president in the 2024 election is playing real 5-D chess (Robert F. Kennedy Jr.), and which candidates are lying, conniving and corrupt, power-hungry, megalomaniacal serial criminals whose days of playing dangerous political “board games” are over (Donald Trump and Joseph Biden).
“Each person you meet is an aspect of yourself, clamoring for love.” ― Eric Micha’el Leventhal
“A person with ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished, when others are tortured or oppressed.” ― Desmond Tutu
“I will speak of love until you go mad and join me in my mad worship of love.” ― Kamand Kojouri
“Consider your own place in the universal oneness of which we are all a part, from which we all arise, and to which we all return.” ― David Fontana
“There is only one all pervading God. It has only one message – Love all, encompass all and transcend the limits of the selfish gene.” ― Amit Ray
“God likes to play hide-and-seek, but because there is nothing outside of God, he has no one but himself to play with! But he gets over this difficulty by pretending that he is not himself. This is his way of hiding from himself. He pretends that he is you and I and all the people in the world, all the animals, plants, all the rocks, and all the stars. In this way he has strange and wonderful adventures, some of which are terrible and frightening. But these are just like bad dreams, for when he wakes up they will disappear.
Now when God plays “hide” and pretends that he is you and I, he does it so well that it takes him a long time to remember where and how he hid himself! But that’s the whole fun of it-just what he wanted to do. He doesn’t want to find himself too quickly, for that would spoil the game. That is why it is so difficult for you and me to find out that we are God in disguise, pretending not to be himself. But- when the game has gone on long enough, all of us will WAKE UP, stop pretending, and REMEMBER that we are all one single Self- the God who is all that there is and who lives forever and ever. You may ask why God sometimes hides in the form of horrible people, or pretends to be people who suffer great disease and pain. Remember, first, that he isn’t really doing this to anyone but himself. Remember too, that in almost all the stories you enjoy there have to be bad people as well as good people, for the thrill of the tale is to find out how the good people will get the better of the bad. It’s the same as when we play cards. At the beginning of the game we shuffle them all into a mess, which is like the bad things in the world, but the point of the game put the mess into good order, and the one who does it best is the winner. Then we shuffle the cards and play again, and so it goes with the world.” ― Alan Watts, A. Book
“They want us to be afraid. They want us to be afraid of leaving our homes. They want us to barricade our doors and hide our children. Their aim is to make us fear life itself! They want us to hate. They want us to hate ‘the other’. They want us to practice aggression and perfect antagonism. Their aim is to divide us all! They want us to be inhuman. They want us to throw out our kindness. They want us to bury our love and burn our hope. Their aim is to take all our light! They think their bricked walls will separate us. They think their damned bombs will defeat us. They are so ignorant they don’t understand that my soul and your soul are old friends. They are so ignorant they don’t understand that when they cut you I bleed. They are so ignorant they don’t understand that we will never be afraid, we will never hate and we will never be silent for life is ours!” ― Kamand Kojouri

This blog is devoted to legal, historical and human rights matters, in which issues of general concern are addressed freely and spontaneously. It is intended to further an informal exchange of views in the democratic spirit of freedom of opinion and respect for the opinions of others, in an effort to understand rather than condemn, to propose constructive solutions rather than grandstand. The perspective is both from inside and outside the box and the added value lies more in the questions than in the answers.
