Conservatives are, of course, taking issue with this because they still believe the acts of those soldiers were acts of courage and honor.

Compassion =
Compassion = Keen Awareness of the Interdependence of All
The whole idea of compassion is based on a keen awareness of the interdependence of all these living beings, which are all part of one another, and all involved in one another.

Propaganda and discrimination are best friends

How to tell the difference between Isis and Muslims
The GOP is demanding that the Democratic presidential candidates use the term “radical Islam” to refer to ISIS. Yet it’s hard to imagine them making similar demands that various acts of homegrown terrorism be called the work of “radical Christians.” Many would argue that simply committing such an act means one is not a true Christian. By the same token, ISIS is not Islamic, as Islam is understood and practiced by the overwhelming majority of the world’s Muslims. So why insist on the label, unless you have an axe to grind about a faith you deem inferior? Why add to the Islamophobic backlash that has already led to a Texas mosque having its front door hit with feces?
ISIS thinks in terms of a “clash of civilizations,” and (surprise!) so do American right-wingers. Anyone framing this issue as The West vs. Islam is playing right into ISIS’s hands.

British Muslims send message to ISIS and the world—and it's spot on
By Leslie Salzillo (Daily Kos)
Now more than ever, Muslims are beginning to really speak out. During September of 2015, British Muslims launched a campaign to fight the stereotype and dispel the perception that Islam and Muslims are connected to ISIS or any terrorism. After the recent Paris and Beirut attacks, the #NotInMyName Twitter hashtag has taken off. A video created by Active Change Foundation i...s also making the rounds on social media with this transcription. The Muslims are directing their message to ISIS and the world.

If people can learn to hate, they can be taught love.
“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.” - Nelson Mandela
Overcoming Divisiveness
Today’s meditation is about finding the common purpose and vision in humanity’s beliefs. This is how we can overcome the divisiveness of conflicting and hostile beliefs. Instead of remaining stuck in an “us versus them” mentality, we replace that with the belief that all humanity is one spiritual family. On the level of our spiritual identity, we are all equal.
When we know the truth of our shared humanity from our innermost Being, then our connection to the human family becomes a source of joy, love, and peace.
Sarvatva NamahI open my awareness to wholeness.
Our centering thought for today is:
I rejoice in the human family.

A New Tribe of People - Warriors of the Rainbow
"When the earth is ravaged and the animals are dying, a new tribe of people shall come unto the earth from many colors, classes, creeds and who by their actions and deeds shall make the earth green again. They will be known as the warriors of the rainbow."

Wisdom and Understanding from the Heart
"Knowledge is of the intellect; wisdom and understanding are of the heart. Those who have had true spiritual understanding have always taught us the unity of good, that we are one in essence with the Spirit." Ernest Holmes

More on Unlearning

Hollywood isn't just white. It's disproportionately white.
Ansari's observations are spot-on. Hollywood isn't just white. It's disproportionately white.
During the 2012-2013 TV season, racial minorities made up just 6.5% of lead roles. That's pretty white. That's really white. That's unrealistically, disproportionately white; racial minorities make up nearly 40% of the U.S. population.

All jokes aside, Aziz Ansari is doing what he can to make Hollywood a more diverse…

Steve Jobs' Truth - Last Testament
Now I know, when we have accumulated sufficient wealth to last our lifetime, we should pursue other matters that are unrelated to wealth…
Should be something that is more important:
Perhaps relationships, perhaps art, perhaps a dream from younger days ...
...
Should be something that is more important:

Non-stop pursuing of wealth will only turn a person into a twisted being, just like me.
God gave us the senses to let us feel the love in everyone’s heart, not the illusions brought about by wealth.

Edmarkers Friend to EDMARK CITY
Steve jobs’ Last Words -
I reached the pinnacle of success in the business world.
In others’ eyes, my life is an epitome of success.

I reached the pinnacle of success in the business world.

...
However, aside from work, I have little joy. In the end, wealth is only a fact of life that I am accustomed to.
At this moment, lying on the sick bed and recalling my whole life, I realize that all the recognition and wealth that I took so much pride in, have paled and become meaningless in the face of impending death.
In the darkness, I look at the green lights from the life supporting machines and hear the humming mechanical sounds, I can feel the breath of god of death drawing closer…

God gave us the senses to let us feel the love in everyone’s heart, not the illusions brought about by wealth.
The wealth I have won in my life I cannot bring with me.
What I can bring is only the memories precipitated by love.
That’s the true riches which will follow you, accompany you, giving you strength and light to go on.
Love can travel a thousand miles. Life has no limit. Go where you want to go. Reach the height you want to reach. It is all in your heart and in your hands.
What is the most expensive bed in the world? - "Sick bed" …
You can employ someone to drive the car for you, make money for you but you cannot have someone to bear the sickness for you.
Material things lost can be found. But there is one thing that can never be found when it is lost – "Life".
When a person goes into the operating room, he will realize that there is one book that he has yet to finish reading – "Book of Healthy Life".
Whichever stage in life we are at right now, with time, we will face the day when the curtain comes down.
Treasure Love for your family, love for your spouse, love for your friends...
Treat yourself well. Cherish others.
