My whole wretched life swam before my weary eyes, and I realized no matter what you do it’s bound to be a waste of time in the end so you might as well go mad.

Egyptian protesters at a rally against Israel’s ongoing airstrikes in Gaza that have left 27 Palestinians dead and hundreds wounded.
“We’re here today to say to Israel: Go to Hell,” Cairo protester Mustafa Kamel told USA Today. “Muslims are strong. In Egypt, we refuse Israel and the politics of America.”
Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others; to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can.

Seen from Earth on April 30–May 1, 1006, “a brilliant star gleamed forth,” as described by Benedictine monks in Italy.
That star is known as SN 1006 today. The explosion was the result of a cosmic merger between two white dwarfs the size of the sun. It’s no wonder the explosion lit up Earth’s skies for months.
Egyptian physician and astronomer Ali ibn Ridwan calculated the supernova’s brightness to be three times more than that of Venus.
Modern astronomers believe Native Americans documented the cosmic event with carvings in a rock found in Arizona. (Source)
