But it not easy.Forgiving makes our lives easier because we no longer expend the energy or feel the anger. Not forgiving someone, it has been said, is like swallowing rat poison and expecting the other person to die. They are often untouched by our grudge, but we are made less happy.So why don ;t we forgive, at times withholding even when the other has sought our forgiveness Here are three reasons. Once we know them, perhaps we will find it a little easier.1. To forgive, you have to relinquish the moral advantage. So long as you were the one hurt, you are better than the person who hurt you. But if you truly forgive them, you restore moral parity. You can no longer say, You know, I forgave youmdash;because even to hold your forgiveness over someone head is not truly to forgive. You must be equal again.2. Forgiveness requires renouncing vengeance. We can admire inspiring stories of forgiveness, but when we are hurt, we want to get back at the offender. When someone har ms us, we have a powerful drive to harm them in return. Often we don ;t forgive in the hope that our very anger wi

Hbmw Dozens Arrested in London During Million Mask March By Lisa Abend and Naina Bajekal/BerlinUpdated: May 19, 2022 12:00 PM EDT | Originally published: April 27, 2022 5:00 AM EDTThree days after Russia ordered troops into Ukraine, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz stood before the Bundestag, the federal Parliament in Berlin, and addressed the l awmakers in a special Sunday session. Feb. 24, 2022, marks a watershed moment in the history of our continent, he said, calling the Russian invasion a Zeitenwende, an epoch-changing event.Scholz, who had taken office only a couple of months earlier, met this historic moment with a response that would overturn decades of military policymdash;and with it, a crucial part of postwar German identity. He announced a euro;100 billion plan to boost the countryrsquo notoriously depleted armed forces, promised to end reliance on Russian fossil fuels, and, for the first time since the Second World War, declared Germany would send weapons to a conflict zone. The issue at the heart of this is whether power is allowed to prevail over the law, Scholz told his P arliament, or whether we have it in us to set limits on warmongers like Putin.Exactly what those limits should bemdash;and how quickly Germany should impose themmdash;has been the subject of fierce debate in the two months since. For decades, Germany has been an economic powerhouse w ith a military that lagged behind, embracing pacifism in atonement for the Holocaust and other devastations it caused in the Qruq South Korea Gets New Nuclear Assurances From U.S. Amid Rising Tensions By Alex FitzpatrickMay 19, 2017 9:33 AM EDTGoog le this week introduced a Gmail feature called Smart Reply, which scans your emails and suggests a handful of pre-populated responses. For instance, if someone emails you asking would you like to go to dinner at 7 tonight , Gmail might suggest 8220 ounds great! as a one-tap reply.Smart Reply is rolling out to English-language iPhone and Android users immediately, with Spanish on deck in the coming weeks, Google says. The feature was also already present on Google alternative email app, Inbox, as well as one of its messaging apps, Allo.I ;ve used the feature since it rolled out for Inbox and I find it helpful. However, some users may de cide it creepy that Google is scanning the content of your messages. If that the case, here how to turn it off: Open your Gmail app Tap the triple-line hamburger icon in the top-left corner Tap Settings Tap your email address Find the option for Smart Reply and switch the slider to the Off position. Still, it worth remembering that Google is scanning your emails anyway to do things like filter out spam, alert you to potential viruses and phishing attempts, and so forth. Of course, on the flip side, it also showing you ads based on what in your ema ils. But that the trade-off we make for free services like Gmail, Facebook and the rest: We ge

The Laureate Awards honor extraordinary achievements in aerospace. When the 4-pound 1.8 kilogram rotorcraft hovered on Mars for 39.1 seconds on April 19, 2021, it was the first instance of powered, controlled flight on another planet 鈥?a true Wright brothers moment. Since then, Ingenuity has chalked up 11 flights, with a total distance of just over 1 mile 2.2 kilometers , reaching an altitude record of 40 feet 12 meters in its 10th sorti e.Ingenuity hitched a ride to the Red Planet on Pe rseverance, which landed on Feb. 18 2021. It was designed as a technology demonstration and carries no science payloads on board. Its mission was to prove that humanity can fly powered vehicles on Mars.Get the Latest JPL NewsSUBSCRIBE TO THE NEWSLETTER After Ingenuity achieved its tech demo goals, the helicopter entered its current operations demonstration phase to test its abilities as an aerial explorer, quickly imagi ng and scouting areas of Mars. This capability has proven useful to Perseverance operators and scientists.

Sometimes, I get very technical and say its a comedy-theater hybrid, or a solo show about assimilation or something high-minded, but what usually happens is that the interviewer stares at me until I give them what they want. Which is this:Just For Us, if you must know, is a show about a guy who attends a meeting of White Nationalists in Queens. The thing that makes this hooky, presumably, is the fact that that guy me, Im the guy was raised as an Orthodox Jew.Eventually, Im found out.

In the comets tail behind the show there have been innumerable conversations afterwards in the lobby, bar, or the middle of the sidewalk outside the venue.

Wlds President Trump Talks America First, But Sherrod Brown Wears It Protesters sit next to a statue of a South Korean teenage girl, center, during a weekly anti-Japanese demonstration near the Japanese embassy in Seoul on Nov. 11, 2015Jung Yeon-Je鈥擜FP/Getty ImagesBy Rishi IyengarNovember 13, 2015 2:41 AM ESTJapanese officials have formally asked the South Korean government to remove a statue erected by activists in front of the Japanese embassy in Seoul, according to the Korea Times.The statue depicts a young Korean girl, symbolic of the thousands of Korean so-called comfort women forced to sexually service Japanese troops during the war. The issue continues to cause tension between the two countries, with many Koreans feeling that Japan has not adequately compensated the women for their ordeal, and Tokyo responding that such matters were settled under a bilateral treaty of 1965.Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe also reportedly brought up the statue with South Korean President Park Geun-hye during recent talks aimed at resolving the tensions once and for all.Seoul says it is up to the activists to take down the statue. 8 220;Whether to remove the statue or not is not up to the Korean government, a South Korean official told the Times on condition of anonymity.

From Harmsworth, History of the World, published in London, 1909Print Collector / Getty ImagesBy History News NetworkJanuary 2, 2015 11:00 AM ESTHistory News NetworkThis post is in partnership with the History News Network, the website that puts the news into historical perspective. The article below was originally published at HNN.At 8am on July 3, 1815, a modest yellow carriage trundled into the port of Rochefort on the French Atlantic coast. It turned into the courtyard of the Marine Prefecture, and a small, stout man in a green overcoat climbed out. It was Napoleon Bonaparte, ex hausted after four days on the road from Paris. Eleven days before, he had abdicated for the second time, following his final defeat at Waterloo. He spent his last fortnight in France in the port, pondering how best to save his career, and possibly his life.Napoleon two weeks at Rochefort are generally forgotten, sandwiched as they are between the last two great events of his life ndash; Waterloo and his departure for St Helena. The received opinion is that one was the inevitable consequence of the other. In fact, thi s is not the case. After the collapse of his last bid for power in France, there were several courses open to Napoleon, and the most logical one was escape to the USA. His intention in making for R ochefort in the first place was to take ship there across the Atlantic, and he very nearly did. Had he reached America, his own histor

Hillary Clinton quickly endorsed the rule, as Republicans lined up to oppose it. In Dana Point, California, this weekend, five GOP presidential contenders gathered to pitch themselves to the Koch Brothers ; political network, including hundreds of well-heeled donors. And though he wasn ;t invited, GOP front-runner Donald Trump still loomed large over the event, as candidates struggle with his rise in the polls.In advance of this week GOP debate, 14 candidates will take questions tonight at a New Hampshire Union Leader Forum.
