We are all trained in this from childhood! Like when my mom told me not to come back from the US, not to marry this girl ,' I can find you many more beautiful girls'...

Oooh, I didn't know there was a name for that.
I approve. It takes considerable skill and forcefulness to do such things.
I read a book once called "Cultivating stillness". It touched tangentially on this: the position of accepting the situation as it is.
I cannot say I have always been able to act accordingly. But I have tried.

You have to turn English subtitles on. I can't tell you how many times I gasped and almost screamed watching this since I'm afraid of heights.

The zebras' picture is unbelievable.

Sorry, but that hiking path doesn't look particularly scary at all. Although in Switzerland for such a route you'd have some chains to hold on just in case.

Forgot to turn the volume off on my laptop and the room was just filled with the sound of breaking glass from the Christmas tree lights at the top of the screen, which caused momentary panic here in the gallery. :D

My kids have measles, there are no toys on the shelves, and I can't afford a steak. But at least there's no sign language interpreter at White House press briefings now.

I can't afford steak and my kids have been home all week after they closed the school because of a measles outbreak. But at least now there's nobody kneeling at the beginning of the football games that I don't watch.
