  Cynicism - Ancient Wisdom for a...

  Cynicism, as a philosophical movement, originated in ancient Greece during the 4th century BCE. It emerged in response to the growing complexity of Greek social and political life, which many perceived as rife with corruption and moral decay. The movement sought to critique and challenge these structures through a radical reevaluation of values. The term "Cynicism" itself derives from the Greek word kynikos, meaning "dog-like," a reflection of the movement's provocative and unconventional practices, often likened to the traits of a dog—independent, shameless, and straightforward. 
  The seeds of Cynicism were planted by Antisthenes, a devoted student of Socrates. Rejecting the materialism and social constructs of his time, Antisthenes advocated for a life rooted in virtue as the highest good. He proposed that virtue was attainable through rigorous self-discipline and liberation from societal expectations. In his view, wealth, power, and social status were distractions that led individuals away from true happiness. Antisthenes' emphasis on asceticism laid the groundwork for Cynicism's core principles. 
  Diogenes of Sinope, the most iconic figure in Cynicism, brought the philosophy to life through his dramatic and often confrontational actions. Renowned for his extreme asceticism, he discarded conventional comforts and famously lived in a large ceramic jar, owning only a few possessions. Diogenes used his lifestyle as a form of social critique, questioning the moral foundations of his contemporaries. His legendary act of walking through the city with a lit lantern during the day, claiming to search for an honest man, remains a potent symbol of his scorn for societal hypocrisy and moral pretense. Diogenes embodied the Cynic ideal: a life of radical honesty, self-sufficiency, and rejection of superficial values.

  All in! - Energy and Prosperity...

  Today, more than 80 percent of global energy comes from coal, gas and oil. A completely renewable and electric energy system (All-Electric) is a distant dream, perhaps not even that.
  
  Time is of the essence. That is why we need to use all climate-neutral and secure energy sources immediately: Renewable, fossil with CO2 capture and nuclear energy-ALL IN! instead of All-Electric. Because fossil emissions are the problem, not fossil fuels.
  
  Climate neutrality can only be achieved pragmatically, open to technology and together in a symbiosis of technology and nature. Whether we get climate change under control will not be decided in Germany or Europe, not even in the USA, but in China, India and Africa. At best, climate nationalism helps our own conscience.

  Narrative Therapy - Rewriting...

  Narrative therapy is a therapeutic approach that views individuals as the authors of their own stories. This perspective emphasizes that people are not defined by their problems, but rather by the way they relate to and interpret their experiences. The central premise of narrative therapy is that we can rewrite our stories, even the ones shaped by challenges, in ways that empower us to lead fulfilling lives. 
  In narrative therapy, the idea of the "story" is both a literal and symbolic concept. We all live our lives through the stories we tell ourselves and others. These stories shape our sense of identity, how we make sense of our past, and how we envision our future. However, many people live with dominant narratives that are limiting, shaped by external pressures like family expectations, societal norms, or personal traumas. These dominant narratives often serve to reinforce negative beliefs about oneself, leading to feelings of helplessness or disempowerment. 
  The approach of narrative therapy seeks to externalize the problem—viewing the problem as separate from the person. This allows clients to step back and reflect on their issues from a more objective standpoint. For example, someone struggling with anxiety may learn to see their anxiety as a separate entity rather than an intrinsic part of their identity. By doing so, the person can begin to engage with the problem in a healthier, more manageable way.

  Resilience isn’t inherited. It’s a hard-fought skill forged by our ability to pick up the broken pieces of our past and remake them into something new. 
  Meet four-year-old Delicia, a poor but carefree child who is about to have her world shattered. Along with her seven-year-old brother Nile, she is kidnapped from her Los Angeles home by her estranged father and taken to Iraq, a foreign world she has never known. This is just the beginning of a string of traumas, hardships, and assaults Delicia will endure throughout her tumultuous childhood. 
  Now an adult living back in California, Delicia Niami bravely recounts how she survived the unimaginable in her debut memoir. Kissing Asphalt, the first in her memoir trilogy, ResilientAF, grapples with the power of resilience, acceptance, and self-love. She revisits her terrifying past with vulnerability, compassion, and the honesty of a true survivor. Hold hands with Delicia as she faces her childhood scars and learns how to confront her fears, accept her true value and identity, and embrace her unique gifts.

  For anyone who has struggled with childhood trauma, Delicia’s unflinching journey through darkness and back to light will resonate. She has decided to share her story publicly in hopes that it will serve as a guide to the many who have suffered in silence and continue to struggle against the daunting weight imposed by childhood trauma.
