Nicholas Winton helped 669 Jewish children escape the Nazis. His efforts went unrecognized for 50 years. Then in 1988, while sitting as a member of a TV audience, he suddenly found himself surrounded by the kids he’d rescued, now adults.
I like to remember this every Jan 27th.

Everything we've been taught to believe about life isn't true. This is a painful experience called awakening up. It's also the beginning of a rebirth.
You might be going through the dark night of the soul:

The vagus nerve runs from the base of your brain and every organ in the body. It organizes the parasympathetic nervous system plays a role in: heart rate, immune response, digestion, and overall mood. Low vagal tone is associated with inability to emotionally regulate and low stress tolerance. High vagal tone is associated with: flexibility, feelings of connectedness, and ability bounce back or find solutions to stress.

Human beings are social animals. What brings us together is love and affection—anger drives us apart. Just as we employ physical hygiene to protect our health, we must use ‘emotional hygiene’ to tackle our destructive emotions and achieve peace of mind.

"Whatever arises in the mind, just let go of it. Don't even wish to be rid of thoughts. Then the mind will return to its natural state. No discriminating between good and bad, hot and cold, fast and slow. No me and no you, no self at all—just what there is."

Crows have proven themselves to be excellent problem-solvers. Some studies state that their intelligence can be comparable to that of a seven-year-old child

Today, we need to cultivate a sense of the oneness of humanity and work together to meet the challenges that affect us all. Scientists have warned about the climate crisis for some time. We cannot simply exploit this planet and its natural environment, we must take care of them.

If we can develop inner peace, we can build on it to create world peace. Many experts agree that our current education systems are inadequate. What we require is a more universal approach to human values that can appeal to everyone. There are grounds for hope.

Relationship tip: when your partner makes an awful but innocent mistake (leaves their phone in the cab, forgets their passport when heading to the airport for an international flight, drops and shatters a beloved item, gets in a fender bender, etc.), don't get mad at them. It makes no sense (it was accidental) and it accomplishes nothing except supplementing an already bad situation with an unnecessary fight.
Instead, think about it like this: as a couple, you will commit like 20 of these hideous mistakes a year and who knew that one of them was gonna happen today, but it did, so that sucks, but it's also a little bit funny, and let's just make the best of it.
This turns those moments from relationship-damaging to relationship-building. And of course, what goes around comes around—you do dumb things too, and you'd much rather your partner be a laughing teammate than an angry parent in those situations.
I didn't used to do this, I learned it from my wife. I am a frequent committer of hideous mistakes, and it surprised me that she never got mad about it, and then I started being like that too.

My mother was consistently kind and compassionate to others, despite being illiterate and uneducated; she was also consistently happy. Later, when I came to engage in Buddhist training in compassion, I found it easier because of the seeds of compassion my mother had sown in me.

Rush. “Anthem.” 1975. You have to wonder what new audiences were thinking: ‘this singer/bass-player looks [& sounds] like a witch; how is a single guitar filling the entire room; and that drummer’s good. I mean, really good. Imagine what he’d sound like with a few more cymbals…’

The platypus is possibly the weirdest animal: it's a mammal but lays eggs, its duck-billed, beaver-tailed, otter-footed and venomous. It has electroreceptors for locating prey, eyes with double cones, no stomach, and 26 pairs of chromosomes. It's fluorescent and glows under UV light.
