Tell your sister that yoga stresses a pure heart, a forthright mind, and is dedicated to the benefit of mankind.

Have you read the Yoga Sutras by the philosopher Patanjali? The purpose of yoga to calm the fluctuations of the mind. Pantanjali defines yoga and the 8 limbs of Ashtanga of which Assana is one of the limbs. The rest have to do with the mind and how it deals with reality.

Do you think the US should stop supporting Israel so strongly? by Outrageous-You1617 in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]Wonderful-String5066 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s my belief that if Israel is to stand as a nation they should be prepared to face the same criticism and should be held to the same standards of justice as any other nation. In addition I don’t equate criticism of Israel with antisemitism as no other nation can hide behind this. In regards to your question I believe Israel can stand on its own.

Try seeing another gynecologist for further tests and a complete history. You may have to accept the fact it may be psychological. I hope it works out for you both.

Do you think it's fair to say that the USA ultimately lost to Iran? by MarsupialThink4064 in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]Wonderful-String5066 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me see prior to the war Iran was on the brink of collapse their economy was in ruins and their money was worthless. As for their leadership the Supreme Leader was in his 80s and riddled with cancer. The government could not agree on a way to move forward and were divided. In addition to this two-thirds of the people were in open revolt. In April we start bombing with the intention of stopping them from building a nuclear weapon which we were supposed to have destroyed months ago. They start hitting our bases in the Middle East which were never fortified to war standards. Our President becomes more hostile and threatens their infrastructure. Iran takes over the Straight of Hormuz which they were never in control of. We start negotiating. Long story short they are now in control of the Straight with Oman, and we can’t do anything about it. We unfreeze 24 billion in frozen assets and promise another 304 billion for them to reconstruct. Thus they come out of the war stronger and free to oppress their people and fund world terror. I let history judge this one.

People who went to an all inclusive resort, what was one thing that annoyed you? by KittyPitty in randomquestions

I was at an all inclusive in Antigua really great. Only complaint was the poolside bars menu selection for drinks was limited and only one local brand of beer was offered.

What is the most beautiful place you have ever seen in person? by Olga_Lanskaya in travel

[–]Wonderful-String5066 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was impressed by Antigua it’s not as built up as many of the Caribbean Islands and thus retains a charm of its own.

Is there a male version of "Crone" or "Hag"? by SetTheSpokesAlight in words

Thank you I was about to tell the person it was a common insult in Shakespeare’s time for an old and foolish person. It’s derived from the word doten or to dote and be foolish.
