Tuesday's Teachings (From Life) It's Time For Families To Re-Embrace Intergenerational Living
THEFEDERALIST.COM -- Learning, as a preteen, to share space and adapt to another loved family member's rhythms and needs was key to my adaptability as an adult. It made me a more flexible and compassionate person. Intergenerational living shaped my younger years, and it's still shaping my family dynamic today. Today, in my household, we spend many of our days as a family of seven: my husband and myself, our four children, and my dear mother-in-law. Living life together, generations under one roof, teaches us lessons and benefits everyone involved, but I believe my children benefit most from this arrangement. Many families are sheltering together right now ...

An Atheist Argues against Reason -- and Thinks It Is the Reasonable Thing to Do
MINDMATTERS.AI -- [ISMAILI DIGEST ED: Hazar Imam, 2002: The only thing that makes us different from animals and plants [is] our human intellect.] ARTICLE: Have you noticed the remarkable cluelessness in atheist arguments about science and metaphysics? It's really on display in atheist and professor of philosophy Justin E. H. Smith's essay where he argues that reason is inferior to the non-rational behavior of animals. Think of the irony: a professor of philosophy, who is paid only to reason, uses reason to argue against reason. Why would he choose an inferior method -- reasoned argument -- when he could simply bash his listener over the head? Welcome to the bowels of atheist metaphysics. It would be funny if it were not so dangerous to our culture and to our souls. Reason is an immaterial power of the soul and is precisely what makes man qualitatively different from every other living thing. Reason has nothing to do with ...

GOOGLE.COM -- Imam Jafar Sadiq said, "In this matter [of acknowledging the Imam of his time], our relations and others are all alike. It is the duty of the relatives of the Imam to know the true position of the Imam and set an example to others by submitting themselves to his will.... They should never allow themselves to be carried away by the idea that because of their relationship with the Imams they are superior to others. They should never imagine that because of their relationship they are exempted from the duties which are imposed on us all alike. On the contrary they should realize that their responsibility in the matter of devotion to the Imam is much heavier than that of any one else. ...

Ismaili Digest automatically and continuously brings together all new articles, photos, videos, etc. from Ismaili websites -- like The Ismaili, Simerg, IIS, NanoWisdoms, AKDN, Ismailimail, etc. -- so you can see them all at once. Direct links to over 15,000 web-pages from the best Ismaili websites already available. Ismaili Digest saves you (and those who are not tech savvy, such as seniors) the effort of having to visit them one by one to keep up to date, or have your inbox cluttered with emails from each of them when they publish new content. In a busy world, our sense of belonging to our community sometimes tends to wither and fade (particularly for isolated Jamati members). We hope Ismaili Digest's simplicity and comprehensiveness will help you feel connected as well as feel the local and global pulse of the community. Like many other non-commercial, public-service thematic website aggregators, Ismaili Digest is just a thematic aggregator. We publish short 50-60 word digests of all their content and provide direct links to their original pages saving you time, extra page loads and clicks. For the website publishers, direct links ensure they'll get the maximum number of potential visitors reaching their content so their hard work gets the maximum exposure. Also featured are other important articles, research and opinions relevant to the community's well being, intellectual growth, best practises and administration. And all served with a drop of humour as well, because "we are a community that welcomes the smile!" Ismaili Digest is not associated with any private Ismaili website, whether aggregated by Ismaili Digest or not. All websites Ismaili Digest aggregates are independent websites run by their individual owners and we are not responsible for content they publish. |
