Whatever concept one may hold, from a metaphysical point of view, concerning the freedom of the will, certainly its appearances, which are human actions, like every other natural event are determined by universal laws.

Romans 16:17 (CEV) - My friends, I beg you to watch out for anyone who causes trouble and divides the church by refusing to do what all of you were taught. Stay away from them!

"He who is not angry when there is just cause for anger is immoral. Why? Because anger looks to the good of justice. And if you can live amid injustice without anger, you are immoral as well as unjust."

-- Thomas Aquinas

“There has long been a tendency in some intellectual circles to believe that the justice of a cause must be proportional to the lengths that people are willing to go to promote it. Only very desperate people, the argument goes, would do such things; therefore, since they do such things, they must be desperate.

The truth is otherwise. As one of the most efficient genocides in history-that of the Tutsi in Rwanda in 1994-proved, genocide can be fun. People in Rwanda hunted and killed their neighbors and then spent the evenings celebrating, feasting, singing, and dancing. They were happy with their day's work and couldn't wait to resume it. In fact, it was the time of their lives.

Intellectual support in the West for the Soviet Union was at its height when the regime was at its worst. Its atrocities were known and obvious. It was only when the Soviet Union moderated its repression and seemed to have lost the courage of its brutality that support for it in the West waned. Moscow was no longer a model for intellectuals that they deemed worthy of imitation once they had attained power. It had become grey and banal rather than vivid, exciting, and experimentally utopian.”

Utter No Shadows (Words Banned by Amazon) - found poetry

A list of words and phrases Amazon considered banning on a potential internal social app, to avoid people bringing up probems or unionize.

Here's to the Fight

Everywhere, on social networks, there are so many incredible people advocating for causes, sharing information to help people, animals, the environment and other living things in need. They passionately, diligently work at it all the time. It's amazing, and even more so, it is effective -- creating change, education and awareness that wouldn't likely happen otherwise, or the same way. People think it takes a lot of people, time, money or resources to help living things in need. But, all it really takes is just one person, doing something. It leads to others doing the same. That's me, that's you, that's all of us.

7 reasons why we are miserable and not blissful:

i) we seek permanency in this temporal world.

ii) we dwell too much in our past & future.

iii) we forget every breath is our first & also last.

iv) we complain more than we are thankful.

v) we fall for the body more instead of the soul.

vi) we pray less and fret more.

vii) we look to what we can get instead of giving.

Unraveling the Symphony of Silence: Understanding the Causes of Tinnitus

Tinnitus, often referred to as the "phantom symphony," is a condition characterized by the perception of sound in the absence of an external source. This auditory phenomenon can manifest as ringing, buzzing, hissing, or other sounds, and it affects millions of people worldwide. While it is not a disease itself, tinnitus is often a symptom of an underlying issue. In this blog post, we will explore the various causes of tinnitus, shedding light on the factors that contribute to this enigmatic auditory experience.

Noise-Induced Hearing Loss

One of the most common causes of tinnitus is exposure to loud noises. Prolonged or intense exposure to loud sounds, such as those in industrial settings, concerts, or through the use of headphones at high volumes, can damage the delicate hair cells in the inner ear. This damage can lead to both hearing loss and the onset of tinnitus.

Age-Related Hearing Loss

As we age, our auditory system undergoes natural changes. Presbycusis, or age-related hearing loss, is a common condition where the ability to hear high-pitched sounds diminishes over time. This natural aging process can contribute to the development of tinnitus in some individuals.

Earwax Blockage

The accumulation of earwax in the ear canal can obstruct the transmission of sound waves, leading to hearing problems and, in some cases, tinnitus. Maintaining proper ear hygiene and seeking professional assistance for earwax removal can alleviate this particular cause.

Medical Conditions

Certain medical conditions can be associated with tinnitus. Ménière's disease, a disorder of the inner ear, is known to cause episodes of vertigo, hearing loss, and tinnitus. Additionally, conditions like high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders have been linked to the development of tinnitus.

Medications

Some medications have been identified as potential triggers for tinnitus. These include certain antibiotics, cancer drugs, diuretics, and high doses of aspirin. If you suspect that your medication may be causing tinnitus, it's crucial to consult with your healthcare provider to explore alternative options.

Head and Neck Injuries

Traumatic head or neck injuries can damage the auditory system and lead to tinnitus. Impact-related injuries, such as those from accidents or falls, may cause changes in the blood flow to the ear or affect the nerves associated with hearing.

Stress and Anxiety

While not a direct cause, stress and anxiety can exacerbate existing tinnitus or contribute to its perception. The intricate relationship between mental health and tinnitus is an area of ongoing research, and stress management strategies may play a role in tinnitus treatment.

Conclusion

Tinnitus, with its diverse array of causes, underscores the complexity of the auditory system. Understanding the factors that contribute to tinnitus is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective management. If you experience persistent tinnitus, seeking guidance from a healthcare professional, preferably an otolaryngologist or audiologist, is essential. Through comprehensive evaluation and targeted interventions, individuals can navigate the symphony of silence and reclaim a sense of auditory well-being. More Details
