...thoughts on swine flu feardemic?

Posted this yesterday as a Twitter series in reflection on fearful reactions about "swine flu"

Note: surely we comprehend it's manufacture? another means of divide and conquer? swine cross bird, crossed with human strains? or are we to believe that some mutant, bird human with a fetish for pig caused this?

...???

• some notes on "fear". "Panic is a sudden desertion of us, and a going over to the enemy of our imagination" -Christian Nevell Bovee
• I feel "Neither comprehension nor learning can take place in an atmosphere of anxiety" -Frank Smith.
• and hope "We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason" -Edward R. Murrow
• because "The enemy is fear. We think it is hate; but, it is fear" -Gandhi
• "Fear defeats more people than any other one thing in the world" -Ralph Waldo Emerson
• for "Fear; if allowed free rein, would reduce all of us to trembling shadows of men, for whom only death could bring release" -J Wilson
• and the ultimate fear, "To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead" -Bertrand Russell.

quote of the moment

While searching for something Twittwyse to give ...on the subject of "giving", I stumbled across this...


"At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done.

We will be judged by 'I was hungry and you gave me to eat, I was naked and you clothed me, I was homeless and you took me in.'

Hungry not only for bread -- but hungry for love. Naked not only for clothing -- but naked for human dignity and respect. Homeless not only for want of a room of bricks -- but homeless because of rejection."

Mother Teresa
