15.02.2008 - Interpretation of dali48

In this poem - "Parliament of Birds" by Chaucer it is shown how the birds gather around the goddess of nature on this very holiday (St Valentine), so that each one finds a partner! ... (Wikipedia)

What does the bird symbolize in the poem? - The bird represents freedom or desire to be free, while the cage symbolizes confinement or oppression. Even the act of singing shines a spotlight on the author's ability to grow and flourish despite her challenges.

How does the Parliament of Fowls end? - The birds have a parliamentary debate while three male eagles try to seduce a female bird. The debate is full of speeches and insults. At the end, none of the three eagles wins the female eagle. The dream ends welcoming the coming spring.

Woher kommt der Valentinstag her? - Der Festtag geht auf den heiligen Valentinstag von Rom zurück. Er gilt als Schutzpatron der Liebenden und soll Liebespaare getraut haben, obwohl dies der Kaiser Claudius II. verboten hatte. Der Segen des Valentin galt als besonders stark und die Ehen sollen laut der Legende lange angehalten haben.

Wie gratuliert man am Valentinstag? - Kann man auch anderen Menschen einen schönen Valentinstag wünschen? Nun, das ist vielleicht eher unüblich, weil an diesem Tag ja eigentlich die Liebe gefeiert wird, aber auch da gibt es keine strengen Regeln. Man darf ohne Weiteres auch seinem Nachbarn oder seiner Kollegin einen schönen Valentinstag wünschen.14.02.2023
In my memory, I notice that yesterday (14.2.) many birds were flying in pairs, as I rode by bike to "Morper Lake" to feed birds etc. (dali48)

(3.4.2010) A morning with Zen is a good morning, - every day is a good day, - no matter how rough it might be! ...

Zen is as free as a bird that flies, - like the fish that swims, - the lily (see daisy etc. - d.48), which blooms! ... (D. T. Suzuki)

What does the bird represent in Buddhism? - Poets have long made wordy use of their wings, while mystics have revered them. In Buddhism, birds are used to teach ethics and concepts. They are metaphors for our muddled, unskillful selves, and also represent our best, no-self selves.

25.11.2000 + 29.11.2000 - Interpretation of dali48 + update

The “Tantra” teaches that man and woman who are basically one, must be able to get rid of their fears and all the shackles imposed by society conventions, and find their own independent attitude to live with it! ...(A. Thirleby)

Tantra is an ancient Indian practice that teaches a variety of concepts, including the importance of intimacy, the body as a pathway to liberation, and the primacy of working with energy. Tantra is a joyful tradition that embraces all aspects of life as expressions of the Divine. 

Concepts of Tantra

Intimacy: Tantra emphasizes the importance of intimacy during a ... experience. 

The body: Tantra views the body as a pathway to liberation. 

Energy: Tantra emphasizes working with energy, such as the subtle energy body and the Goddess, or Divine Feminine, Shakti energy. 

Embodied liberation: Tantra aims to achieve embodied liberation, which is total intimacy with the whole of reality. 

Yoga: Tantra views ... yoga as one way of producing a blissful expansion of consciousness that could lead to liberation. 

Tantra practices

Tantra practices include rituals, techniques, movement, pranayama (breathwork), and meditation. 

Tantra in Buddhism and Hinduism

People who practice Buddhist and Hindu meditation may also practice tantric ... 

The ban, which we take it as easy as we break mindlessly the flowers, mindlessly trample the poor insect etc., and then mindlessly, in terrible blindness because everything takes its revenge, disregarding the suffering and the lives of people, - and sacrifice it to small earthly objectives!... (A. Schweitzer)

Cows are herded together, flown for hours over the continent, calves are pumped full of hormones and “substances to accelerate the cattle-fattening”, still we are allowed to inject cattle antibiotics etc.! ... (Rhinish Post, 28.11.2000)

Antibiotics are used in cattle for therapeutic, control, and preventative purposes. However, overuse of antibiotics can lead to health risks for both animals and humans. 

Therapeutic use

Antibiotics are used to treat specific diseases in animals 

For example, procaine penicillin is used to treat pasture bloat in grazing cattle 

Control or metaphylactic use 

Antibiotics are used to treat a group of animals after a disease is diagnosed in part of the group

This helps control the spread of disease to other animals

Preventative or prophylactic use 

Antibiotics are used to treat animals before clinical signs of disease

This helps prevent the occurrence of disease or infection

Overuse of antibiotics 

Overuse of antibiotics can lead to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria

These resistant bacteria can be passed on to humans through contaminated meat and dairy products

Overuse of antibiotics can also increase the risk of disease in animals and humans

Reducing antibiotic use

Countries have been successful in reducing antibiotic use in livestock while maintaining healthy and productive meat and dairy industries 

Good record keeping can help avoid liability from residue contamination 

What good we do to an animal is only a debt of gratitude that we pay for what the suffering creature has acquired for us! - Those who live through the pain of the world who know the hours in which the horror of existence - is stronger than the horror of “being dead”! - You can not say that mankind achieves some sort of purpose in the world, but mankind itself is the purpose! - Finally, we let ourselves be blunt and act according to the "eye for eye, tooth for tooth", treachery to treachery, suspicion for suspicion, slander, defamation, at which we see as the everyday around us! ... (A. Schweitzer)

If being crazy means that it is hard for you to adapt to the world as it is, - then society is insane (see e.g. state of social relations, and the "flora & fauna" since ca. the year 2000 etc. - d.48)! ... Those of us who have a sense of the past, who seek stability and security, not for change, and have no confidence in computer systems, have real difficulties to adapt! ... (L. Bellak)

What is the difference between stability and security in psychology? - Stability and security are both essential, but they are not always in harmony. Stability creates a sense of order, while security provides peace of mind. Striking a balance between the two ensures that life remains both steady and full of potential for growth.18.12.2024

But if man destroys his relationship and his trust in heaven and earth itself, natural disasters and social chaos will enter! - If we apply this view of heaven, earth and man in today's world, it is clear that a relationship exists between the social and environmental problems! - If mankind loses its connection to nature, heaven and earth, it knows his environment no longer be treated with care, and how to rule the world any more which is ultimately the same! - What people cause in their environment (see "flora & fauna" etc. - d.48), goes hand in hand with what they do to each other! ... (C. Trungpa)

What is the relationship between social problems and environmental problems? - Social inequality is both a prod- uct and a producer of global warming, pollution, overconsumption, resource depletion, habitat loss, risky technology, and rapid population growth. As well, social inequality influences how we envision what our environmental problems are.

What are solution to social and environmental problems? - Environmental problems are easier. Stop dumping pollution into the air and water. Switch from burning fossil fuels to getting your energy from solar (see dali48 and thinking about a solar foil for his windows in Tübingen in the 70s etc. - d.48), and wind! - Drive electric cars, buses, and other vehicles instead of gasoline or diesel. Recycle your trash. Do not use as much pesticide (see e.g. neonics etc. - d.48) on your lawns.10.09.2018
