@Olympics It would have been more appropriate to choose Hermes, the god of archery and sports, or Apollo, the god of logic and rationality, over Dionysus, the god of ecstasy and madness. Choosing Dionysus was really in poor taste and hurt many feelings unnecessarily. #Paris2024.

لبنان بين الفجوة المالية والأخلاقية وفجوة اليأس. مع مرور ذكرى انفجار الرابع من آب – المأساة التي أودت بحياة أكثر من 240 شخصاً وخلّفت بيروت جريحة – نتذكّر أن جروح لبنان لا تزال بعيدة عن الشفاء. فخلف الزجاج المحطّم والأسر المفجوعة، يقبع الوطن في ثلاث فجوات عميقة تحدد معاناتنا

Bach. Sublime aria in B minor for alto and solo violin. “Erbarme dich” pierces the soul with its weeping melody and celestial tenderness. “Have mercy, my God,.For the sake of my tears!.Look here! Heart and eyes.Weep bitterly before You. Have mercy, have mercy!”.
Johann Sebastian Bach . 31 March 1685 – 28 July 1750 🖤. | Matthäus Passion |. - Erbarme dich, mein Gott -.

“Weeding alone doesn't make a garden, .And prevention isn't policy. What is needed is care, design, and direction.— Not merely the elimination of harm, .But the cultivation of good.” .— Inspired by Clemens Brentano.
@Peine01 „Allein Unkraut jäten macht noch keinen Garten, und Verhindern ist keine Politik. Was es braucht, ist Fürsorge, Gestaltung und Orientierung —.nicht nur die Beseitigung des Schadens, sondern die Pflege des Guten.“.— Inspiriert von Clemens Brentano

Some events in life seem deeply connected, even when there is no clear cause linking them. For example, you might dream about someone you haven’t seen in years—and then they call you the next day. This article suggests that synchronicity is like a special kind of connection—like.

“The thought, imperceptible in itself, clothes itself in the sensible garb of the sentence and thereby becomes more graspable to us.”.— Gottlob Frege, On Sense and Reference (1892)
@BermesChristian Ein großer Mathematiker und Philosoph der Sprache. Ich mag diesen Satz von ihm:. „Der an sich unsinnliche Gedanke kleidet sich in das sinnliche Gewand des Satzes und wird uns damit fassbarer.“.— Gottlob Frege, Über Sinn und Bedeutung (1982).
