Thinking of Yesterday's Victims
Creating Harmony
Love dissolves hate.
Kindness melts cruelty.
Compassion calms passion.
Cooperation evokes love and when we bow, others bend.
This creates harmony.

A Group of Wolves are Walking Through the Forest
I think this is a great visual! It makes me wonder where I am in the group. Am I in the front, the strongest group, or the middle. I know I'm not the leader - I disqualify myself. It makes me think about where I am and where I want to be in my time on earth.

What is the best mentality / approach to life which will benefit me for the rest of my life?
Gemma Hoyle answers the title of this post in the following way:
A mentality I’ve adopted that has really improved how I view life is the “two cakes” approach. A couple of years ago I stumbled upon it in a comic that’s circulated Tumblr quite a few of times.This could change every thing...
Although this is really useful as an artist, I’ve found it applicable to all areas of living.
I think a lot of our current, modern society is based upon this idea of linear progress, that we should keep working to get better, to have better lives, to improve things - which of course leads to constantly comparing yourself to others. In actuality that’s just not how life works!
It’s so liberating to realize that whatever you put forward, no matter how small, is still a valid contribution to the world and can make people happy regardless of how satisfied you feel personally with what you’ve done.
From there, as you continue to make things, in whatever profession you pursue, you’ll get closer to closing the gap between what you want to be making and what you are making. And that feels pretty great as well!
Don’t get disheartened by the progress of the people around you, the world is a better place when your unique contributions are a part of it.

Signs & Government @ its Worst....
This is something that came up this week that I've thought a lot about.
Someone I know said, "If I am laid off from my job, I'll take it as a sign [from God] to finally do what I've always wanted to do as a career. If I am retained, then I was meant to work where I am working." Do we, as humans, really get to decide what our sign from God is going to be? Isn't it really God choosing what He wants us to do according to his plan?
I went to Google to find an answer and came across this discussion. I like this quote:
Use your gut, use your intuition, trust your sense to know your truth, and the ways that the god of your understanding communicaties with you, you get to "learn that language" no one else can do it for you. It will be very individual, and most likely something that is personal and meaningful to you.
I can find comfort in that. It goes along with the idea that God gave us the ability to choose - our curse or our gift, depending upon the circumstances.
I am jumping to something else, though this could have easily been its own blog post called "You should have a usable website but I don't have to have one in order to tell you to have a usable website."
This came across on Techwr-L on Wed and I find it really funny. A usability site that isn't usable...

OK, it's irony time: Guy McDonald discovered that the home page for http://usability.gov lacks a certain... usability. Specifically, in IE7, the bulleted items activate the hand cursor, even though they're unlinked. The site works fine in Firefox. Before I write to HHS, can someone check if the site works in IE 6? Opera? etc... >
