## Quotes

* Riches are a cause of evil, not because, of themselves, they do any evil, but because they goad men on so that they are ready to do evil.
** As quoted in Epistulae morales ad Lucilium by Seneca, Epistle LXXXVII (trans. R. M. Gummere)
* A single day among the learned lasts longer than the longest life of the ignorant.
** As quoted in Epistulae morales ad Lucilium by Seneca, Epistle LXXVIII (trans. R. M. Gummere)
* Things which bestow upon the soul no greatness or confidence or freedom from care are not goods. But riches and health and similar conditions do none of these things; therefore, riches and health are not goods. Things which bestow upon the soul no greatness or confidence or freedom from care, but on the other hand create in it arrogance, vanity, and insolence, are evils. But things which are the gift of Fortune drive us into these evil ways. Therefore these things are not goods.
** As quoted in Epistulae morales ad Lucilium by Seneca, Epistle LXXXVII (trans. R. M. Gummere)
* When men were scattered over the earth, protected by eaves or by the dug-out shelter of a cliff or by the trunk of a hollow tree, it was philosophy that taught them to build houses.
** As quoted in Epistulae morales ad Lucilium by Seneca, Epistle XC (trans. R. M. Gummere)
* There are never any occasions when you need think yourself safe because you wield the weapons of Fortune; fight with your own! Fortune does not furnish arms against herself; hence men equipped against their foes are unarmed against Fortune herself.
** As quoted in Epistulae morales ad Lucilium by Seneca, Epistle CXIII (trans. R. M. Gummere)

# Meitei Sankirtana

Meitei Sankirtan (Meitei: Meitei Nat Sankirtan), also known as Meitei Sankirtana (Meitei: Meitei Nat Sankirtana) or Manipuri Sankirtan (Meitei: Nat Sonkirton) or Manipuri Sankirtana (Meitei: Nat Sonkirton), is a Meitei cultural form of performing art involving ritual singing, drumming and dancing performed in the temples and domestic spaces in Manipur in India.

## Quotes

* Bhagyachandra also went on to establish the Nata Sankirtana (also called Nupa Pala), a very crucial form of worship in Manipur. It is an intricate combination of rhythmic movents, music and rituals and is something that permeates every aspect of Manipuri life and culture, till date. It synthesized several elements of the pre-Vaishnava, indigenous Meitei culture, beliefs and rituals.
** Sampath V. (2022). Bravehearts of Bharat : vignettes from indian history. Penguin Random House India
* The Sankirtana, ‘establishes and reinforces relationships between the individual and the community through life-cycle ceremonies. It can also be regarded as a vibrant practice promoting an organic relationship with people. Sankirtana works in harmony with the natural world, whose presence is acknowledged through its many rituals … the blending of the native pre-Hindu religious elements and cultural traditions with the great tradition of Hinduism led to the birth of a state deeply rooted in a unique form of Hindu Vaishnavism. This was aptly described as the ‘Meiteisation of Hinduism’. Thus, it seemed like a new civilizational renaissance were heralded in Manipur under Bhagyachandra. Old values were transmuted; old materials reorganized to yield new meanings. A new society thus emerged from the old, but without a break in continuity of tradition, rituals and customs.

# Scarcity

Scarcity is the limited availability of a commodity, which may be in demand in the market or by the commons. The opposite of scarcity is abundance.

## Quotes

* an assumption deeply integral to capitalism has been absorbed by all of us, since it is reflected in so much of what we see. I have called this the Scarcity Theory, not enough to go around: not enough love, not enough time, not enough appointments at the foodstamps office, not enough food stamps, not enough money, not enough seats on the subway. It's pervasive. We learn mistrust of each other, bone deep: everything is skin off somebody's nose.
** Melanie Kaye/Kantrowitz To Be a Radical Jew in the Late 20th Century in The Tribe of Dina: A Jewish Women's Anthology (1986)
* Fear of scarcity creates greed and hoarding, which in turn creates the scarcity that was feared. Whereas cultures that embody the Great Mother are based on abundance and generosity.

# People's Armed Police

The Chinese People's Armed Police Force (PAP) is a Chinese paramilitary police force primarily responsible for internal security, law enforcement and maritime rights protection in China, as well as providing support to the PLA Ground Force during wartime. In contrast to police officers in Public Security and other law enforcement agencies, PAP servicepersons wear olive green instead of the blue uniforms of the People's Police. The PAP is estimated to have a total strength of 1.5 million.

## Quotes

* If you want to know what people are worried about look at what they spend their money on. If you’re afraid of burglars you buy a burglar alarm. What are the Chinese spending their money on? We’re told from Chinese figures they’re spending on the People’s Armed Police, the internal security force is about as big as they’re spending on the regular military. This whole great firewall of Chinese, this whole massive effort to control the internet, this effort to use modern information technology not to disseminate information, empowering individuals, but to make people think what you want them to think and to monitor their behavior so that you can isolate and suppress them. That’s because this is a regime which is fundamentally afraid of its own people. And it’s fundamentally hostile to them.

## Quotes

* One of our biggest problems is that the authorities frequently confuse the social labor of the church with subversion. The church cannot confine itself to preaching a spiritual message without doing anything to put that message into practice. If a man is starving, he must be fed first of all. Military authorities have told me that the church should only preach, and not act, but without good works, faith has no life.
