Why is it harmful to think about what we cannot control?
“Thinking about things we can’t control is harmful because it leads to anxiety and stress. When we worry about things we can’t control, we’re not actually doing anything to fix the problem. We’re just making ourselves more upset.
It’s important to focus on the things we can control. We can control our own actions and our own thoughts. We can’t control everything, but we can control how we react to the things that happen to us.
If we focus on the things we can’t control, we’ll never be happy. We’ll always be anxious and stressed. But if we focus on the things we can control, we can live a much more peaceful and happy life.

Empathy, Group Identity, and the Mechanisms of Exclusion
Group Identity
1.4 Dissociation of Empathy: the Mechanisms of Exclusion
The genocides of the twentieth century, by which I mean the mass murders of the Armenians, Jews, Tutsi, Bosnians and others, despite all differences regarding their causes, conditions and extent, had one fundamental common feature: the genocide was preceded by an exclusion of an ethnic or religious group within the respective society. This exclusion was implemented, on the one hand, through a definition and radical separation of a “they-group” from the “we-group”; on the other hand, through an objectification and degradation by which the members of the excluded group were refused their recognition as persons and even denied their humanness. These excluding, depersonalizing and dehumanizing ideologies and policies were also able to neutralize or suspend basic empathetic feelings in the perpetrators toward their fellow humans.
In a widely respected study entitled “Ordinary men: reserve police battalion 101 and the final solution in Poland”, Browning (2001) has analyzed a piece of history of the Nazi genocide, namely the mass execution of Polish Jews by the Hamburg police battalion 101. It consisted of reservists, many ordinary family men, no fanatic Nazis, who in 1942/43 killed 38,000 Jews, men, women and children A peculiar feature was that at the beginning of the executions the policemen were explicitly given the choice whether to take part in the killings or not. Very few refrained and subsequently were not punished in any way. As Browning writes: The fundamental problem is to explain why ordinary men—shaped by a culture that had its own peculiarities but was nonetheless within the mainstream of western Christian, and Enlightenment traditions— under specific circumstances willingly carried out the most extreme genocide in human history (Browning 2001, p. 222).
Empathy, Group Identity, and the Mechanisms of Exclusion
” Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of people who are oppressing them.
We Think We Listen, but that might only be a thought!
“Our first reaction to most of the statements that we hear from other people is an immediate evaluation or judgment, rather than understanding. I believe this is because understanding seems risky.
~Carl Rogers

“The finest emotion of which we are capable is the mystic emotion. Herein lies the seed of all art and all true science. Anyone to whom this feeling is alien, who is no longer capable of wonderment and lives in a state of fear is already dead.
~Albert Einstein
..::”For me, the Jewish religion, like all others, is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions… And the Jewish people have no different quality for me than all other people”. ~ Albert Einstein
Einstein viewed the “cult of individuals” as unjustified and often in bad taste, noting that it was unfair to select a few for “boundless admiration” while ignoring everyone else.
(He explicitly stated he could not see anything “chosen” about Jewish people)
”Refusing humility traps you in delusion.♡ Love Albert Einstein … Only a comic book bible would suggest a cultish behavior to genoc~~ everyone else, but some special chosen ones?~ OMG
Imagine living on the only known planet in the infinite universe, where the mortified rich get richer by colonizing the people to follow debunked dogma, repeating an ancient doctrine of war, projected onto innocent children, again and again, the rich get richer, and the children inherit a brutal indoctrination instead of Living Sacred Life. https://empathymatters.org/armageddon/
The phrase “Domination leads to Ritual Sacrifice” bridges the gap between historical sociology and ancient anthropology.
Throughout history, domination—the exertion of control, barbaric power, or authority over others—has frequently been inextricably linked to ritual human sacrifice.
This connection manifests in both structural power dynamics and ancient religious practices.
The transition from domination to human sacrifice is essentially the barbaric projection of unhealed guilt onto other human beings, often innocent children.
What’s #memoricide ?
It’s time to save our stories, our history, our truth.

“Truth hurts, and that why Israel kills everyone who dares to speak it out!
So Please 🇮🇱 Spare us your deceitful accusation of Anti-Semitism🙄
Dr. Areilla Oppenheim at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, did the first extensive DNA study in 2001 of Israelis & Palestinians, and concluded that the emigrants on ships to Palestine before it became Israel were of Mongol 40% & Turkish 40% genome…there was no
Semetic blood associated to the original Hebrews from the Middle East of 4,000 years ago in Jerusalem or Biblical territory.
This was confirmed by another DNA project by Dr. Eran Elhaik at the McKusick-Namans Institute of Genetic Medicine at the John Hopkins
University of School of Medicine, in 2012. His conclusions were the same!*
The Askenanzi so-called Jews did not ever migrate out of the Middle East!*
At the same time extensive DNA evidence found the Palestinians to be 80% more or less, Semetic blood in their ancestors who were found therefore to be the real Israelites.
The white Jews whose ancestors embarked on ships in 1882 to Palestine before it was named Israel—aren’t Israelites. Truth hurts* once again These White Eastern European descendants of German, Russian, Polish, Austrian, Georgian, etc., are impostors claiming to be Gods Chosen Ones, but are descendants of the old Khazars from the Khazarian Caucus & they have been denying this scientific evidence as they have made up myths of their own histories, which already many Americans believe throughout one whole century, i.e. Schofield Bible.
For, the real history of the new established “Israel in 1947” –‘is no secret today!*
Since Palestinians were found to be almost more or at least 80%Semetic. The So-called people are on the wrong side of history.”
