stressful society

Belive it or not, we live in a stressful society - a society full of stress.

When you try live your live righteously, when you try to take it easy, the society screams in your face: ' YOU'RE WRONG. YOU HAVE TO BE STRESSED ' .

Yeah, it is quite wrong, but it happens everyday. They're wrong and they require you to be wrong like them.

I've been passing so many times through this situation in the last several months.

... but it's the world i live in, so i can't do nothing but carrying on living and hoping that someday the world will change.

' I'm Grateful For ...' (no. 1)

English:

Heey guys. This is another new monthly section called ' I'm Grateful For ... ' .

One of the principles of Buddhism is expressing gratitude ( ' Kansha Shite ' ) , so as you know, i'm nothing but a follower of those principles.

Gratitude is good for the others and even better for us ! (Gratitude is Good for your Health)

Be grateful and feel fine :)

Português:

Oii malta. Esta é outra rubrica mensal chamada ' Sou Grato Por ... '

Um dos grandes principios do Budismo é expressar gratidão ( 'Kansha Shite' ), e como alguns sabem, eu vou tentando seguir esses mesmos princípios.

A Gratidão é muito boa para os outros, mas ainda melhor para nós ! (A Gratidão faz bem á saúde)

Sê grato e sente-te bem :)

Today i'm going to talk about : Grandparents

It's incredible how much experience they have.

It's incredicle how many stories they have to tell us.

It's incredible how much they love us and how affectionately they take care of us.

We have so much to thank them, or atleast, i really have.

Are you being greatful for your grandparents? Will they realize how much you love them before they die? Be sure they do.

Português:

Hoje vou falar de : Avós

É incrível a experiência que eles têm.

É incrível quantas histórias de vida eles têm para nos contar.

É incrível o quanto eles nos amam e como tão bem tomam conta de nós.

Temos tanto que lhes agradecer, ou pelo menos, eu tenho mesmo.

Estão a ser grato pelos vossos avós? Será que eles vão perceber o quanto gostam deles, antes de morrerem? Certifiquem-se que sim.

Português:

Hey. Esta é uma nova rubrica mensal que vou fazer sobre "animais muito esquisitos" . Este mês apresento-vos a Toupeira-nariz-de-estrela .

Desfrutem:

English:

The Star-nosed mole (Condylura cristata) is, like the name says, just another mole, or maybe not...

It lives all around the undergrounds of north-eastern United States, and this fact is unknown by the majority of the population.

They eat lots of worms, molluscs and many other insects, with their 44 teeth !

And finally, as you can see, this mole's most distinctive feature is a circle of 22 mobile, pink, fleshy tentacles at the end of the snout that are used to identify food by touch.

Check the photos below .

Português:

A Toupeira-nariz-de-estrela (Condylura cristata) é, tal como o nome diz, apenas espécie de toupeira, ou talvez até não...

Vive debaixo do solo de todos os estados do nordeste dos Estados Unidos, sendo este facto desconhecido por a maioria dos habitantes.

Esta espécie come minhocas, moluscos e muitos outros insectos, com os seus 44 dentes !

E finalmente, como conseguem perceber, a caracteri

stica mais distintiva desta toupeira é um circulo de 22 nojentos, cor-de-rosa e carnudos tentáculos no final do seu focinho, que sao usados para identificar comida pelo tacto.

Vejam as imagens abaixo.
