THE VINDAUGA IN YOU

How often have you come across or seen a house, car, plane or ship without a window? My guess is "very not often" that is if there is at all. No matter how great a building is, how beautiful it may be and how large it is, a window or windows are always installed on it. Alright, I'm having a unique feeling about this, so let's take a quick meaning to what the Window is.
A window is an opening in a wall , door , roof or vehicle that allows the passage of light and, if not closed or sealed, air and sound. Waooooo, what a lovely symbol it is. Alright, now let's see its origination. The English language word window originates from the Old Norse 'vindauga', from 'vindr – wind' and 'auga – eye', i.e., wind eye. in Swedish the word vindöga remains as a term for a hole through the roof of a hut.
So the Window clearly originates from the word vindauga which means wind and eye.
Now to you and how the window relates to you. The creator also placed in every soul a window. Have you tried taking a good look at yourself and tried asking why do I seem to be stagnant. Just in a minute ask yourself again, what will the neighborhood think of a house whose window is always closed and for once never been seen opened? It would either be - No one lives in that house even though people do, or oh, over there no one is permitted around it, in fact the house will be scary. So are you seen when nature sees the window in you shut always, all inside of you will be filled with darkness, suffocation and you won't be opened to new ideas. I'm not asking you to let people in now, but nature, life itself. How opened you are to it, so will you see through it and receive from it. You are only opened to new ideas, information, knowledge and understanding if you keep your window opened. Don't feel because life isn't fair then you wanna shut yourself out of it, no no no, if you do that you only cause more agony to yourself.
Leave that window opened so you can receive the light and see through the beauty of life itself and the unaccountable opportunities you are opened to. Know that the fisherman never stops fishing because of the storm. Then, you shouldn't keep your window shut always because of a storm in the past.
   The window gives beauty to the house only when it is allowed to perform its functions.

Help Stop An Execution

Nearly two years ago, the eyes of the world were on Oklahoma, where a man named Richard Glossip was facing execution for a 1997 murder many people say he was not involved in. I learned about Richard’s case when actress Susan Sarandon contacted me, expressing deep concern that the State of Oklahoma was just about to kill an innocent man. After reviewing the facts, I too became convinced of Richard’s innocence, and we decided to  make a public plea for the governor to gra nt freedom On 30 September 2015, Richard came within minutes of execution by lethal injection, when officials suddenly stopped the proceedings. As it turned out, the state of Oklahoma had procured the wrong execution drug, risking another botched execution that would lead to a slow and painful death. At the last minute, Governor Mary Fallin, not exactly an opponent of the death penalty, issued a stay of Richard’s execution. Today, Richard’s situation is nowhere near being resolved. As the st...

South Korean President Park Geun-hye arrested

Former South Korean President Park Geun-hye , who was removed from office earlier this month, was arrested on Friday. "Major crimes have been ascertained and there is a concern that the suspect might attempt to destroy evidence," Judge Kang Bu-young said in a text message to reporters. "The court recognizes the need, necessity and reasonableness of the suspect's arrest." Prosecutors announced Monday that they were seeking to arrest Park on charges relating to abuse of power, accepting bribes and leaking important information. "The suspect abused the mighty power and position as President to take bribes from companies and infringed upon the freedom of corporate management and leaked important confidential official information," the statement from the Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office said. Park had been held in a temporary detention facility at the Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office Building ahead of the court's decision. S...

#DR Congo: Bruno Tshibala appointed new prime minister

Democratic Republic of Congo President Joseph Kabila has appointed Bruno Tshibala as the new prime minister of the power-sharing government. Mr Tshibala will be leader until presidential elections later this year. He was expelled from Congo's largest opposition party, the UDPS, last month after contesting the designation of successors to veteran leader Etienne Tshisekedi who died in February. Mr Tshibala's appointment is likely to further divide Mr Kabila's opponents. Talks to negotiate his exit from power broke down last week. Mr Kabila was supposed to step down after his second and final five-year term came to an end last year but the vote to replace him was not held. The electoral commission cited financial and logistical difficulties. The arrogance of power The failure to organize the polls led to a wave of deadly demonstrations by opposition supporters, with calls from diplomats for the president to respect the constitution. The Roman Catholic Church stepped in to brok...
