she’s about to risk it all

Wait no stop, this brings up a good question: HOW does Thor fit in within the christian worldview!?!?

Oh I think sister Marjorie can fit him in just fine

Someone said "Are you really so stupid to think that Africa has the same technological advances as us? If they did they would probably have clean water and not live in houses made of sticks and mud. Get over yourself and stop being so ignorant."..... Below is a tiny collection of images of the Africa they refuse to show you..

ches

I’m sorry you’ve been made to believe that the whole of Africa is poor, I really am..

Reblogging for those of you who think Africa is only what the media and movies portrays it to be

This fucks me up because it’s scary to think that we can be showed something all our lives and not even know it’s a lie

And that my friend is the power of propaganda, indoctrination, and media

Are these pictures of South Africa or of Africa as a whole? 

@the-collecting-turnip From top to bottom:

1. Port Elizabeth (South Africa)

2. Unknown

3. Nairobi (Kenya)

4. Pretoria (South Africa)

5. Aburi Botanical Gardens (Ghana)

6. Cape Town (South Africa)

7. Pretoria (South Africa)

8. Harare (Zimbabwe)

9. Windhoek (Namibia)

10. Windhoek (Namibia)

To @kushandwizdom this is a rather unfair portrayal of Africa as a whole since half of these are literally just South Africa.  So Instead to add to this post and better dispel the myth of Africa as the vast wasteland of poverty most people think, I found a much more mixed collection of pics from various countries.

Luanda, Angola

Agadir, Morocco

Lagos, Nigeria

Cairo, Egypt

Port Louis, Mauritius

Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire

Algiers, Algeria

Tripoli, Libya

Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

Tunis, Tunisia

So, there, a much better case demonstrating the various major cities around Africa showing it isn’t some technologically backwards continent, but actually pretty up-and-coming in the world of commerce.

these look so beautiful omg

Lets not forget the beauty that is Chefchaouen, Morocco;

Absolutely magical place. I visited there over 20 years ago and what was remarkable was how cool the blue walls were to the touch. And the Moroccan people are so friendly and hospitable.

@spacemonkeyg78 this is a shade lighter than the blue I was talking about last summer.

Africa is a whole damn continent and people still have the audacity to think those commercials of mud huts are actually the entire country. it’s not a shocker as Africa is a majority black country and you know how that’s received by white media.

People work hard in their own way

Some people work hard by taking time out of their busy and stressful, and hectic schedules to train - just showing up is a feat for them. This is how they work hard.

Some people push their bodies to the limit, they constantly try to execute a technique faster, more precise, more fluent; they push the warm-up and class fitness/agility training  -taxing their body is how they work hard.

Some people are interested in the history and philosophy of karate, they ask questions, read, do research, and fills their heads with karate - this is how they work hard.

Some people are persistent in learning all the Japanese terms, the katas, the moves, the stances - learning and paying attention is how they work hard.

Some people improve their character constantly, they strive to be more sociable, agreeable, following practice and tradition. Bows, respect, humility - perfection of character is how they work hard.

Some people never give up - they face constant hardship even just by coming to class. Perhaps low confidence and/or social anxiety. They strive to persist; in their Kata, their presence; performing might be a feat for them - this is how they work hard. Many people have different ways in which they apply themselves and work hard. It is not always evident, but with a bit of awareness one can see the work they put into karate. Each person works hard in their own way.

shocking

*ahem*

Latina Williams killed two others then self at Louisiana Technical College on February 8th, 2008

What’s most interesting though is that mainstream media doesn’t even mention female shooters when they claim to show the history of the crime — but I guess they’re going by high scores. While its true that most shooting sprees are committed by males, it is also truethat most child abuse, neglect, and murders are committed by females.

Women who killed or attempted to kill children in the news, past 30 days (US):

Women who killed or attempted to kill children in the news between January and April 2014 (US):

This is only mid-year and I didn’t even include the reports of mothers killing their children from previous years or other countries.”

The only thing “shocking” here is how far you’ve managed to cram your head up your own ass.

This post is disturbingly long.

REBLOG THE SHIT OF THIS. I AM SO FUCKING SICK OF PEOPLE TREATIG WOMEN LIKE INNOCENT GODDESS WHO NEVER DO ANYTHING WRONG WHILE THEY TREAT ALL MEN LIKE ANIMALS.

I debated on whether or not to reblog this but damn those sources are a fucking feat and pretending that they dont exist erases the victims.

once in a blue moon someone on tumblr will acknowledge anyone other than a man has done something wrong

What Did You Learn In Martial Arts Class Today? 

“Character” - 

Throughout the cycles we go through in our lives and our training, we can polish and refine our character: “who we are”, along with our skills. As we train and develop our physical and mental selves, over time this constant refining and balancing can help us to grow as a person and refine our character, regardless of how we grew up. What we’ve been through in life maybe defines, “how we are” but not “who we are”. It can be difficult, painful and a process of making mistake after mistake, but we can change and learn, if we eventually let go enough to “listen”.

When we have the seed planted in our “idea”, our “heart”, we train, we work on it, we can now understand it, we work on it more, refining body and mind together until it becomes habit, this habit becomes our characteristic, which can be seen in our expression of ourselves. We then come back to that “idea” and we realize that we only scratched the surface and it can go much deeper, as we can now see more than before. 

We repeat this process over and over through training, thus refining our physical skills, our mental skills, which combined help us to find a balance of refining our Character, helping us to grow and learn. We don’t need to try to get rid of that that little bit of craziness and the quirky parts that makes us the unique individual’s we are. We can never be perfect, too good, or too bad, as we experience life, we experience many things, but to look at both sides and choose to walk the middle road is most difficult, to be neutral. We are trying to find our natural balance, as we can always work to be better than we were yesterday. 

Through training we can not only develop our skills, our minds, and our behavior, but we can refine our Character - when the realization goes beyond the surface, beyond the superficial driven by outside desires and ego. When the realization touches the soul, touches our hearts in a way, that we want to grow and change, to better ourselves, this helps us to grow so that each cycle when we look at the “idea” again, we keep seeing deeper and deeper into our development. The refinement of body, mind and Character or “Spirit” is The Tao of Martial Arts, The Way…
