Talk:Peace of Mind

message: Peace-of-Mind is being JOYFUL (when knowing why is not necessary);
or being °SORROWFUL (say, losing an arm) but understanding 
why, or by a leap-of-faith acceptance saying "the understanding lies in a higher intellect—i.e. that understands the chain of natural causes and their natural effects as a process of Being called G-D and the knowledge that things could not be different than they are. Whatever is, is; (and by hypothesis) the cause is knowable. It is the will of G-D; that is Life; or that is Nature"— all mean the same and bring, somewhat, a bit of Peace-of-Mind. 
=== Loss of an Arm ===
The physical pain of losing an arm certainly persists; the mental pain can be mitigated if the mind is occupied with the understanding of why or by acceptance. Which is easier to accept with greater equanimity—losing an arm by a stupid accident or losing an arm under advice of a team of eminent physicians, who advise that the arm must go or you will die of gangrene? When  you understand why, you can contemplate, at that instant, the joy of saving your life.  
Of course, you  will then ask "what caused the gangrene to happen in the first place?" Inevitably your limit knowledge is reached—at that point there remains only a leap-of-faith that the understanding resides in a greater intellect. That can give you  Peace-of-Mind, if the faith in your hypothesis is strong enough; the pain and sorrow, however, still persist. Any faith has great 'cash value'; see Mark Twain's "Little Story".

Talk:African socialism

message: Since we've got articles on African socialism and Arab socialism, it would be good to have one on Melanesian socialism - a concept developed, if I recall correctly, mainly by President Walter Lini of Vanuatu, influenced by Julius Nyerere's African model. The idea is that Melanesian societies are inherently inclined towards socialism (valuing group welfare over individualism; communal ownership; etc...). I can probably contribute a stub on the topic, but I'm not an expert. Aridd 18:29, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Ref 

message: This entire article has a tone somewhere between dismissive-to-outright hostile towards its subject- It could have been written by a Reagan State Department flack or a functionary in the Rockefeller Foundation at some point in the Seventies.
It also doesn't include the obvious critique of the flaws in African socialism-in-practice, which lay in the fact that, 1) Being dependent on Soviet or Chinese aid, African socialism was simply not African enough- that it tended far too much towards bureaucratic, top-down approaches rather than the implicitly democratic idea of managing the socialist project at the village level, and 2) that the development model was grounded in an emphasis on industrializing the economy that simply wasn't appropriate given the conditions.
It's an open question as to whether African socialism could have worked, or could work now, if it rejected all aspects of the Leninist/industrialist approach and worked on a model of cooperative democratic management of the economies of African countries from below.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:603:4E00:7876:DC4C:1BD1:7F72:4C69 (talk) 20:02, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

There are 2 Gordon Smiths on Wikipedia, but this one is clearly more important than the other, he should be treated as primary.

message: The history should be corrected on the page. It was Chicago Cutlery that first created the "Chef's Knife". There is much history about Chicago Cutlery that for the most part has been forgotten. German Wustoff Chef's knives were the first Chef's knives to be imported to America to compete with Chicago Cutlery (At a lower price point at the time). Wustoff refined the Chef's knife in some ways, but in other ways made their Chef's knives unique in the marketplace at the time.
