Tuesday's Teachings (From Life) You Must Surrender
DAILYSTOIC.COM -- [ISMAILI DIGEST ED: Mawlana Sultan Muhammad Shah's "Philosophy of Happiness:" "Learn to desire the thing that happens, and not try to mould events to their desires."] ARTICLE: One way to read The Odyssey is as a story of human perseverance but another way illustrates the exact opposite. Odysseus says he wants to get back to Ithaca, and then proceeds to constantly undermine himself. It's only towards the end, when he finally stops and actually listens to the gods that he quickly makes any real progress. Seneca and Epictetus spoke often about surrendering to fate--understanding that we are not in control. It seems like resignation but the concept of Amor Fati is quite paradoxical. It's acceptance fused with determination. It's the ability to go along and make the best of something even if ...

VIDEO: Why does Mawlana Hazar Imam insist we make value judgements? | Ignition Proposal
PART 1 -- In our previous presentation on cosmopolitan ethics and pluralism (part 0), we cited extensive guidance from Mawlana Hazar Imam to explain why, on the one hand, he insists we embrace pluralism, and on the other, insists on firm moral boundaries which reject values not aligned with ours. In this follow-up two-part series we ask, "Are your values aligned with Hazar Imam's?" by looking at what are and are not our values. In Part 1, using a First Principles approach, we look at a fatal misunderstanding about value judgments that prevents us from setting boundaries Hazar Imam insists we set to delineate what are and what are not our values. In Part 2 we will look at why just one notion, relativism, triggers most questions about values today, and why Hazar Imam rejects relativism in one word.

Think of Ismaili Digest as the Front Page of all the best Ismaili websites! 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. |
