☆ Finding a Moral Center in This Era of War

Talk Finding a Moral Center in This Era of WarPhil Klay, as both a participant and a writer, has been thinking deeply about war for a long time. “I’m interested in the kinds of stories that we tell ourselves about war,” says Klay, who is a 40-year-old veteran of the Iraq war. But has this moment changed anything fundamental in how we think about war? I think that Ukraine represents not a good war — because the closer you get to war, the more obvious it is that a phrase like “a good war” has no valid meaning — but rather a necessary war. Here is a war with a clear front line with a clear moral imperative.

☆ Do Landscapes Shape The Way We Think? / Why Was Philosophy Born In Greece? - The New York Times

A few years ago, my wife, Sarah, and I went on a sailing trip on the eastern Aegean. Thirty or forty miles to the south of our boat was Miletus, the birthplace of some of the first recorded theorists of the physical world. Across a nearby peninsula, just 70 miles away, was Lesbos, the island of Sappho and Alcaeus, the greatest early lyric poets. To the south in Samos was the birthplace of Pythagoras, an early theorist of an everlasting soul. It struck me that not so far out of view from the cockpit of our small boat was the whole province in which Greek philosophy had begun.

The 1993 film "Groundhog Day" starred Bill Murray. “So I proselytize it without practicing it.”And what an entertaining Buddish proselytization “Groundhog Day” is. ‘Groundhog Day’ is all about karmaOne of the central tenets of Buddhism is that we must continue to reincarnate until we find enlightenment. And many references and motifs that recur in the film support the notion that “Groundhog Day” is Christian rather than Buddhist. ‘Groundhog Day’ is about hopeWhatever spiritual takeaway the film holds for you, it’s an undeniable call for hope.
