BLM up for a NOBEL PEACE PRIZE!

[Dutch Uncle]

Correct. The music was a distraction. You removed the distraction and chose to fully experience what was around you. The distraction helps the physical. Many employ music when doing intense training.

Mental training is very different. When you master the latter, you excel at the former.

It's best to jog on dirt or grass to save knees and hip joints over the decades. When I was a kid, I messed up my right ankle pretty bad catching in the spokes of the rear wheel of a bicycle I was catching a ride upon. About once every six months I'd catch a dip in the ground and my ankle would turn. Most people snap or severely sprain their ankle by fighting to stay upright in such a situation, but I learned to fall into it. Sometimes that was enough to allow me to continue jogging, other times just a minor sprain and I'd limp back to the hotel.

Once I left the MP3 player behind, it never happened again. Ever, for about 15 years IIRC. It was simply a matter of paying complete attention to what I was doing while maintaining an awareness of the surrounding area. A lot of joggers have been killed or injured by cars or bicycles they never heard coming behind them, mainly due to headphones blasting music.

I've been saying since his campaign that his brain should be studied. I have never in my life ever seen someone who is so excruciatingly insecure and compulsively dishonest. Nature versus nurture always gets interesting, but the combination of the two produced a complete and total sociopath. The man is clinically insane.

I have. They're rare but not that rare. The difference was all the assholes I knew were middle-class, not billionaires.

Re sociopathy, I'm more inclined to believe his nurture enabled his nature, it didn't create it.

That's just to help relax. The Zen purists say you have to be in the lotus position and sit for days. I disagree. You can meditate by walking. Now I just walk a bit.

To walk in this way, we have to notice each step. Each step made in mindfulness can bring us back to the here and the now. Go slowly. Mindfulness lights our way. We don’t rush. With each breath we may take just one step. We may have run all our life, but now we don’t have to run anymore. This is the time to stop running. To be grounded in the earth is to feel its solidity with each step and know that we are right where we are supposed to be.

Each mindful breath, each mindful step, reminds us that we are alive on this beautiful planet. We don’t need anything else. It is wonderful enough just to be alive, to breathe in, and to make one step. We have arrived at where real life is available—the present moment. If we breathe and walk in this way, we become as solid as a mountain.

Hello reagansghost,

The Black Lives Matter movement has been nominated for the 2021 Nobel peace prize for the way its call for systemic change has spread around the world.

In his nomination papers, the Norwegian MP Petter Eide said the movement had forced countries outside the US to grapple with racism within their own societies.

“I find that one of the key challenges we have seen in America, but also in Europe and Asia, is the kind of increasing conflict based on inequality,” Eide said. “Black Lives Matter has become a very important worldwide movement to fight racial injustice.

“They have had a tremendous achievement in raising global awareness and consciousness about racial injustice.”


oops there goes Donnie's peace prize!

It's a worthy nomination for serious consideration. Would be wonderful it it won.

Hello Dutch Uncle,

"Nominations for the Nobel peace prize are accepted from any politician serving at a national level, and they are allowed just 2,000 words to state their case."

Anyone or group can be nominated. Ted Cruz can nominate the KKK or Boogaloo Bois.

True, but the final award is done by a well rounded committee. There are crackpot nominations every year.

BLM is bonafide serious nomination truly worthy of the award.

So then insurrection is now worthy of peace prize nominations? If that's the case then the capitol fold should book a flight to Oslo. It's horrible how degraded the nobel has become. First that idiot obama bin laden now black lies matter?

Sorry, they're not....Have you met them? blacklivesmatter.com...

BLM has a real positive goal, to end the mistreatment of blacks by police. If they succeed America will be a better place.
The rightys were trying to end the American experiment and place Trump in power for as long as he wanted. They were planning on killing the politicians especially Pence who just was guilty of doing the right and legal thing. Hang Pence, is not a positive and pro-American chant. You rightys should be very ashamed of the 1-6 shit show. It was an attempt to end America as we know it to put a nut who lost, back in power.
We pointed out to other countries that they should emulate us . We have fair and monitored elections. The loser always concedes and we have a peaceful changeover. Now thanks to rights, and Trump, that is all gone.

Nature versus nurture always gets interesting, but the combination of the two produced a complete and total sociopath. The man is clinically insane.

The nature/nurture aspect is indeed interesting, but psych issues are often genetic. Unfortunately we have no data re. same with respect to Fred sr. but I suspect his history of racism/classism/winning by any means necessary are all tied to some sort of mental disorder.

Re. nurture, trump grew up in a home with an absent mother, an abusive father, and never experienced love. Whereas Mary Trump was kind and compassionate, it never seemed to rub off on trump the lesser. He seemed to be proud of his father's numerous extra marital affairs. He was taught to lie, cheat, steal, and never admit wrongdoing by his deranged father.

He seems to have inherited nothing from his mother.

So it would indeed take a study of his brain to learn if trump is a second generation narcissist with psychopathic tendencies through learned behavior, or some chemical imbalance.

A fascinating case study, much better to be done now that he has no power to destroy the nation. Making clinical observations during his term in office was both fascinating and horrifying at the same time.

Disgusting.
They're racist & volatile.

I'm sure this would've been you in 1963 talking about MLK.

 

[Jerome]

Sorry, they're not....Have you met them? blacklivesmatter.com...

I've marched with them, donated to them, and sincerely believe in their cause. 400+ years of systemic racism and police brutality requires this movement. Full Stop.


The fact that you were a teacher is sickening.

It doesn't surprise me that all of Trump's stuff looks good but tastes like Great Value leftovers. When in Israel a couple of years ago, I bought a bottle of vodka. The Trump brand was on sale. Really fancy bottle. The vodka tasted no better than the cheap stuff. Cutting it with orange juice made it taste better.

trump only sells his name. The products are always lacking. What a moron. Wrapping everything in gold packaging doesn't make it a quality product. Imagine if he took the time to offer quality?

A huge amount of his destructive pathology was also curated and developed by the whole "The Power of Positive Thinking" bullshit fad from the 50s and 60s that he hopped onto. He took it to the extreme, to the point where "positive thinking" meant "ignore reality."

 

[Althea]

If you define "chosen people" as the the Evangelicals; specifically the ones who adhere to the blasphemous "Prosperity Gospel" bullshit.

No. The 'chosen people' are the Jews. Chosen by God to suffer. His politically motivated actions in Israel were rather transparent.

A lot of joggers have been killed or injured by cars or bicycles they never heard coming behind them, mainly due to headphones blasting music.

I stumble often, but never fall. I'm able to automatically shift weight from one leg to the other, avoiding injury. I know exactly what you mean about twisting an ankle. It happens when I'm walking across a lawn and suddenly find a dip with my foot. Before my ankle fully bends to the side, all weight is off of it. Being clumsy, it's imperative that I be able to use my balance.

I've never been a runner, but most of the runners I know develop problems from running on the pavement. I often believed that the headsets/earbuds would present a danger in the scenario you mentioned above. Now that I'm severely hard of hearing, I use ear protection when mowing, using a chainsaw, or using power tools.

When I'm weed whacking near the road, I'm always checking my surroundings because I cannot hear a car that might be riding the shoulder. I'm not comfortable in that situation, but ear protection is imperative

His father laid that foundation. For all we know, he was forced into the fad you mention above, the same way he was forced into military school by a father who no doubt wasn't happy with the progress of his own brand of programming.

Fred Trump took taxpayer money (twice) and created a real estate empire. I'm sure little Donald grew up hearing about how Daddy was a self made millionaire.

Denial is the status quo in that family.
