Beautiful lines
If everyone thought like this.
Mann Tu Joth Saroop Hai, right?
yeah, I really know what I’m talking about.
so random, but i was just remembering how at camp someone was once like “god is inside of you. that means youre representing him with everything you do and say. so everytime you swear, everytime you judge someone, everytime you hurt someone, youre staining his beautiful cholla.”
(via thepunjabimenace)
I do not understand the concept of “passing time”.
lust.
YOU BECOME LAME, ABANDONED BY A FANTASY.
…PEOPLE FANCY THEY ARE ENJOYING THEMSELVES,
BUT THEY ARE REALLY TEARING OUT THEIR WINGS
FOR THE SAKE OF AN ILLUSION.”
: It's not about the individuals
This is lovely.
Sangat. Youth. All that jazz.
I was introduced to it when I was still in elementary school by a close friend. We started attended sangat events together, afresh. I was mindblown seeing older Gursikhs do their thaang. There were some amazing moments I remember having where I felt like the age…
2Pac: | And since we all came from a woman, got our name from a woman and our game from a woman, I wonder why we take from our women. Why we rape our women, do we hate our women? I think it's time to kill for our women, time to heal our women, be real to our women. And if we don't we'll have a race of babies that will hate the ladies that make the babies. And since a man can't make one, he has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one. |
Jay-Z: | Silly rappers, because we got a couple Porsches, MTV stopped by to film our fortresses. We forget the unfortunate. Sure I ponied up a mill, but I didn't give my time. So in reality I didn't give a dime, or a damn. I just put my monies in the hands of the same people that left my people stranded. Nothin' but a bandit, left them folks abandoned. Damn, that money that we gave was just a band-aid, can't say we better off than we was before. |
Kanye West: | Is it genocide? 'Cause I can still hear his momma cry, know the family traumatized. Shots left holes in his face, 'bout piranha-size. The old pastor closed the cold casket, and said the church ain’t got enough room for all the tombs. It’s a war going on outside we ain’t safe from, I feel the pain in my city wherever I go. 314 soldiers died in Iraq, 509 died in Chicago. |
Mos Def: | When the average minimum wage is $5.15, you best believe you gotta find a new grind to get cream. The white unemployment rate, is nearly more than triple for black so frontliners got they gun in your back. Bubblin crack, jewel theft and robbery to combat poverty and end up in the global jail economy. Stiffer stipulations attached to each sentence. Budget cutbacks but increased police presence. And even if you get out of prison still livin join the other five million under state supervision. This is business, no faces just lines and statistics from your phone, your zip code, to S-S-I digits. The system break man child and women into figures. Two columns for who is, and who ain't niggaz. Numbers is hardly real and they never have feelings but you push too hard, even numbers got limits. Why did one straw break the camel's back? Here's the secret: the million other straws underneath it - it's all mathematics |
Lupe Fiasco: | I really think the war on terror is a bunch of bullshit. Just a poor excuse for you to use up all your bullets. How much money does it take to really make a full clip. 9/11 building 7 did they really pull it. And a bunch of other cover ups. Your childs future was the first to go with budget cuts. If you think that hurts then, wait here comes the uppercut. The school was garbage in the first place, thats on the up and up. Keep you at the bottom but tease you with the uppercrust. You get it then they move you so you never keeping up enough. If you turn on TV all you see’s a bunch of “what the fucks”. Dude is dating so and so blabbering bout such and such. And that aint Jersey Shore, homie thats the news. And these the same people that supposed to be telling us the truth. Limbaugh is a racist, Glenn Beck is a racist. Gaza strip was getting bombed, Obama didn’t say shit. Thats why I aint vote for him, next one either. I’ma part of the problem, my problem is I’m peaceful. And I believe in the people. |
"Love one another and help others to rise to the higher levels, simply by pouring out love. Love is infectious and the greatest healing energy." |
| ~ Sri Satya Sai Baba (via emotional-algebra) (via childofgurunanak) |
we’re supposed to help each other. sangat is supposed to be there to lean and be leaned on. we’re supposed to keep each other from falling and go to one another when we are weak and straying. we are supposed to know, in our incorruptible hearts, that we are sister-souls, with the same goal, with the same true love, and understand each other’s pain and joy and separation and glory. we are supposed to reach out because we know the pain of being here, being veiled - however thinly - from our own selves and our love, so it should be our inherent desire to help our siblings when we see them with that same pain. we’re supposed to know that, when we need it, someone will be there. we’re supposed to know that. that’s supposed to encourage, support and uplift us, that powerful knowledge.
we’re supposed to KNOW, we’re supposed to FEEL, we’re supposed to care, and love, and my GOD, we’re supposed to, we’re supposed to, love everyone, because everyone is a reflection of us, of the everlasting inside of us.
but instead, we’re the ones who make each other lose hope, struggle even harder, hate ourselves, fall apart, give up.
and now, now, that my faith is gone, i have absolutely no one left to turn to. shabaash, peoples. shabaash.
I feel utterly broken. Somewhere beyond repair.
A Case Study In How Infographics Can Bend The Truth
Must check out this short article depicting the deception - intentional or not - of infographics!
_/\_
We’ve made the point time and time again that charts and graphs, though they feel official and true, can lie. Rarely do you get to see that at work, but the good folks at Hyperakt have sent us a prime case study in infographic deception. The subject, of course, is politics—and in particular, the raging debate over whether the rich should be made to pay more taxes. “Using the same data, very different stories can be told depending on different agendas,” says Deroy Peraza, one of the founders of Hyperakt.
