In Eastern belief, the Red Thread of Destiny is tied to the pinky fingers of destined lovers. It may twist, tangle, but never break. I've noticed in my life that the threads are everywhere, connecting us to people and things that play all sorts of roles in our life. They could be the threads of friendship or even the internet threads which lead us down the rabbit hole at times. Some we notice. Some we don't. Some are all but gone and others Fate throws to us in a moment's need. And I certainly have had some very special threads to consider through my life ... For which I am grateful. The Red Threads of Destiny, we see the journey of Caroline Stark after the loss of her grandfather. His will leaves her as the executor of his estate, and the contents of his safe deposit box lead her from Northeast Arkansas, to Key West, Florida and across the sea to Kyoto, Japan. On her journey she not only discovers threads and secrets of her grandfather's life, she finds strong and lasting threads of her own.

The Clash of Rights by Paul M. Sniderman,Joseph F. Fletcher,Philip E. Tetlock,Peter H. Russell Pdf
Why do citizens in pluralist democracies disagree collectively about the very values they agree on individually? This provocative book highlights the inescapable conflicts of rights and values at the heart of democratic politics. Based on interviews with thousands of citizens and political decision makers, the book focuses on modern Canadian politics, investigating why a country so fortunate in its history and circumstances is on the brink of dissolution. Taking advantage of new techniques of computer-assisted interviewing, the authors explore the politics of a wide array of issues, from freedom of expression to public funding of religious schools to government wiretapping to antihate legislation, analyzing not only why citizens take the positions they do but also how easily they can be talked out of them. In the process, the authors challenge a number of commonly held assumptions about democratic politics. They show, for example, that political elites do not constitute a special bulwark protecting civil liberties; that arguments over political rights are as deeply driven by commitment to the master values of democratic politics as by failure to understand them; and that consensus on the rights of groups is inherently more fragile than on the rights of individuals.

Protecting Rights and Freedoms by P. Bryden,Steven Davis,John Russell Pdf
In his introduction, Philip Bryden says that Canadians can be proud of their commitment to the protection of rights and liberties in the Charter. Canada, he believes, is a better place to live then it would be otherwise. Nevertheless, as the essays in this book reveal, the case in favour of the Charter is not simple or one-sided.

Americans held their Last Election in 1860 after seventy-one years as one nation state. Secession and separation of two incompatible Ways of Life followed. A great civil war erupted. We are headed again to a Last Election, secession, and separation of two incompatible Ways of Life. The author examines in plain common sense terms the principal factors at work and the hopeless division among our people, comparing current times to the decade of the 1850s, and the fraying of our common thread. Mr. Reynolds concludes with an appeal for Americans to consider a pathway along which different cultures and Ways of Life may walk compatibly on this great continent.

Integral Finance – Akhuwat by Muhammad Amjad Saqib,Aneeqa Malik Pdf
There are many misconceptions and concerns regarding Islamic societies and how Muslim countries have failed to come up with their own localised solutions to socio-economic problems in dealing with poverty alleviation and societal development. This book explores why there is so much disconnect between spirituality and enterprise development in the world today, and how a part of the Islamic world, in fact located in Pakistan, can be part of the solution rather than being central to the problem. This book builds upon Ronnie Lessem and Alexander Schieffer’s theory of ‘integral dynamics’ which works through a fourfold rhythm of the GENE. Set against a mono-cultural perspective, the authors highlight the ever-increasing and deepening divide between Western and Islamic cultures. Through the course of the book, the authors use the transformational GENE (Grounding, Emergence, Navigation, Effect) rhythm developed by Lessem and Schieffer to take readers through the 4C (Call, Context, Co-creation and Contribution) process, articulated to CAREing-4-Society. They ground their call in Akhuwat’s community of Akhuwateers (donors, beneficiaries, borrowers, volunteers and replicators), to explore alternative models of spiritually based finance through an emerging SOUL-idarity paradigm. Furthermore, through these models and Akhuwat’s CARE (Community, Awareness, Research, Embodiment) process, they put forward that encouraging community activism, raising awareness around Islamic practices of Qard-e-Hasan, institutionalising their innovative research, and finally transforming and educating the community, will provide an alternative to microfinance for poverty alleviation. Showcasing an unconventional spiritual-financial solution, deeply immersed in spirituality and infused with local moral values and traditions, this book demonstrates how poverty can be alleviated in countries around the world, specifically, in developing Muslim countries.

Human diversity is a rich tapestry that goes far beyond the superficial distinctions of race. Our shared humanity transcends the boundaries that society has imposed on us. By reducing individuals to mere categories based on external factors, we overlook the intricate web of connections that binds us all together. When we acknowledge the profound interconnectedness of humanity, we begin to appreciate the beauty of our shared heritage. Our blood carries within it the stories of countless generations, weaving a common thread that binds us all together. Through this shared ancestry, we find a sense of unity that transcends the artificial barriers of race and ethnicity. Blood, the life force that pulses through our veins, serves as a powerful symbol of our shared humanity. It is a tangible reminder that beneath the surface, we are all connected by a common bond that transcends societal divisions. Regardless of our differences in wealth, power, or social status, our blood flows with the same life-giving vitality, indifferent to the external labels that seek to define us. In its purest form, blood knows no prejudice or bias. It does not discriminate based on race, gender, or background. It simply fulfills its essential purpose of nourishing and sustaining every individual with equal strength and determination. This unifying force of nature underscores the fundamental equality that exists among all human beings, reminding us that we are more alike than we are different. The universal nature of blood serves as a powerful metaphor for the interconnectedness of humanity. Just as our blood circulates throughout our bodies, carrying oxygen and nutrients to every cell, so too does our shared humanity bind us together in a web of mutual dependence and support. In times of crisis or need, it is this shared life force that unites us, inspiring acts of compassion, solidarity, and kindness that transcend the artificial barriers that divide us. By recognising the unifying power of our blood type, we can strive to build a more inclusive and compassionate world. We can embrace our shared humanity and work together to create a more just and equitable society, where the life-giving force that flows through our veins serves as a reminder of our inherent interconnectedness and shared responsibility to one another. Our blood is a powerful emblem of harmony, that goes beyond its mere medical significance. It signifies a shared bond that unites us all, regardless of race or ethnicity. Fundamentally, it is our shared blood that paves the way for a future where connections run deeper than the constraints of race. Our blood holds the key to our future—a future, where blood ties extend far beyond the realm of our respective race, and where the fallacies of racial disparities are finally laid to rest.
This book is about nothing and everything at the same time: big people, small people, birth, death, happiness, sadness, war, peace, everything. It is my concept of poetry, the concept of a liberated minded liberated poetry. It is Pan African poetry, about African issues all over the world. It is about African beauty and a liberated look at the self. It is the poetry of a returned exile celebrating the beauty of his native land.

The JOY of Giving Volume 2: America's Theology of "What Works for Me" Faith by Philip Ellerbrock Pdf
We believe in ourselves, innovation, markets, technology... and end up with government growing, because our lawlessness increases. Have we a backup plan, if the "Rapture" turns out to be as Y2K? Others also, look for a messiah. Addressing the UN in September '05, Iranian President Ahmadinejad tells the world: "When that day comes, the ultimate promise of all divine religions will be fulfilled with the emergence of a perfect human being who is heir to all prophets and pious men. He will lead the world to justice and absolute peace." What should we do today-given all the alarm and exhortation? Bill Bradley tells us, a "can do" story is all we need tell America and ourselves. Here is really what is going on: "For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he [a Holy Spirit of Truth] is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed." (2 Thess 2:7-8) Will we continue to love, as Christ loved us?
