If you’ve ever used Google Alert, you know the jolts it can deliver. Whenever anyone in the blogosphere decides to blow a poison dart your way, Google is happy to deliver the news, along with the more positive mentions, of course. Most of my stinging darts come from skeptics. Over the years I’ve found that ill-tempered guardians of scientific truth can’t abide speculative thinking. And as the renowned Richard Dawkins has proved, they are also very annoyed by a nuisance named God. (more…)
Doubling the Ladies
I proposed to a lady and it took her six months to say yes. However, after a month of her saying yes, she aborted the relationship following a misunderstanding. It took me a month of pleading with her to reverse what she had just decided. It did not work, so I was forced to accept her feeling. A few days later, I got involved with another lady – whom I did not know much about – and things moved very fast. Relations knew about our involvement. When I thought I was healing my wounds from the first affair, the lady who dumped me came back saying she wanted us to go all the way into marriage. After some days of her persistence, I bowed down and my love was rekindled.
I have doubled the ladies for a month now. Both of them know of my situation. However, I want to go on with the former, meaning I dump the latter. Considering that we have done so much with the latter before the former came back, how can I move on without leaving the latter disappointed?
Your Energy is Infinite and This is Why
Instead of getting your energy from food, work or other people, author Deepak Chopra suggests finding infinite energy from the spirit that lives within you.
Where do you get your energy? Until you know the answer, your sources of energy will be limited. Food can only supply so many calories, and quite often, if those calories come from fat or sugar, there is actually a falling off or dulling of energy. If your energy comes from being with people, you won’t be energized when you are alone. If your energy comes from working, it will last much longer and be more renewable but eventually bring fatigue.

India Comes to the White House, All At Once
I never expected to see so many faces of modern India as I saw Tuesday night. The White House’s state dinner, its first of the new administration, honored Indian Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh. It was every sequin and silk cravat a glittering and sumptuous affair, as the media has made it out to be, Yet in the midst of it all I sensed the first sprouts of a new level of understanding and partnership between India and the United States, something not achieved in all the ceremony of the President’s China visit. There, the smiles of the Chinese were backed by ruthless self-interest. Here one felt a basis of true warmth. (more…)
