Labour party politician and former prime minister (The terrorist actually planned to behead her on Utøya) is married to a politician in the Conservative politician. I like that attitude.
A poem by Max Ehrmann "Desiderata" written in 1927.
Desiderata
GO PLACIDLY amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
“When you want to help people, you tell them the truth. When you want to help yourself,
you tell them what they want to hear.”
“People who pride themselves on their "complexity" and deride others for being "simplistic"
should realize that the truth is often not very complicated. What gets complex is evading the truth.”
“Some of the biggest cases of mistaken identity are among intellectuals who have trouble
remembering that they are not God.”
“The fact that so many successful politicians are such shameless liars is not only a reflection on them,
it is also a reflection on us. When the people want the impossible, only liars can satisfy.”
