Accident claims specialist National Accident Helpline is linking in with National Hug Day(TM) to harness the power of hugs and help boost recovery for injury victims.

January 21st is National Hug Day, and Beth Powell, consumer director at National Accident Helpline, believes it?s the perfect opportunity to help injury victims recover from their injuries.

She said: ?the best way to get back on your feet after an injury is to follow expert medical advice, but at National Accident Helpline, we also think injury victims should do everything they can to speed up their recovery, and National Hug Day highlights the massive health benefits a hug can bring.?

Studies have shown that regular contact with other people increases the body’s production of the feelgood chemical ‘oxytocin’. ?It?s been called ?the love hormone? and its levels in our blood certainly increase when we hug’, clinical psychiatrist Dr Brenda Davies told the Daily Mail.

Oxytocin production in humans is known to improve a person?s mood and can potentially counteract the negative feelings associated with sustaining an injury.

According to the Daily Mail, in addition to its mood enhancing qualities, oxytocin has been shown to decrease blood pressure and reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol, which has been linked to a depressed immune system.

Inventor of National Hug Day, Kevin Zaborney, agrees that hugging can help victims of injuries make a speedy recovery.

?National Hugging Day is a great day to focus upon how hugging positively improves the entire human body,? he said.

?Positive human touch, such as hugging, increases self-esteem and value within a person. Without that important touch, humans become more sickly and isolated from one another.?

He added: ?For those with injury due to accidents, the touch of another hand does wonders for the person. We know that with a hug, the increase of one’s mood can only be that much greater.?

Last year?s National Hug Day was celebrated across the world, with major events including hug-a-thons and hugging chains. Become part of this special day and give someone you know who has been injured, a hug and help them on their way to recovery.

Lioness at the entrance to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial

It honors all of America’s federal, state and local law enforcers. Inscribed on the Memorial’s blue-gray marble walls are the names of more than 17,000 officers who have been killed in the line of duty, dating back to the first known death in 1792.

Designed by Washington, D.C. architect Davis Buckley, the Memorial sits on three acres of federal park land called Judiciary Square. The site has served for some 200 years as the seat of our nation’s judicial branch of government. A glance around the space finds plush carpets of grass, nearly 60,000 plants and 128 trees decorating the Memorial grounds. Each year, around the first of April, some 14,000 orange and yellow daffodils make the Memorial one of Washington’s most spectacular attractions.

Bordering the Memorial’s beautifully landscaped park are two tree-lined "pathways of remembrance" where the names of the fallen officers are engraved.

Each of the pathway entrances are adorned with a powerful statuary of an adult lion protecting its cubs. The bronze statues were sculpted by Raymond Kaskey. They symbolize the protective role of our law officers and convey the strength, courage and valor that are the hallmarks of those who serve the law enforcement profession.

An inscription on the Memorial’s east wall explains the uplifting spirit that is felt by every visitor to the Memorial:
"In Valor there is hope"

by Rabbi Gedalia Kauffman

www.aish.com/h/c/b/My_Big_Fat_Greek_War.html

When I was seven years old I was the only Jewish kid in my school. Yet you couldn’t tell by looking at me. I didn’t stand out in any way from the rest of the kids, and I didn’t really want to. But every year come
December, in the name of multi-culturalism, I would find myself thrust into the limelight. As the only available representative of the Chosen People, my teachers would assign to me the responsibility of educating the class about Chanukah.

I pictured the tall, muscular Maccabees, shields emblazoned with the Star of David.

I took my role as scholar-in-residence quite seriously, and I would arrive at school looking very solemn, carrying my jumbo-sized book about Judah the Maccabee and a piping hot platter of homemade latkes and applesauce. All the kids would sit in a big circle and I would proudly show them the pictures of the tall, muscular Maccabees, swords glistening and shields emblazoned with the Star of David. I would read to my class the story of how this fierce and mighty band of Jewish warriors fought valiantly to defeat the Syrian-Greek army of the evil King Antiochus. I recounted how they recaptured our Holy Temple in Jerusalem and kindled the menorah which burned miraculously for eight days. My classmates and I would then conclude the celebration of Jewish military prowess by devouring the entire platter of latkes.

Like so many stories told to children, this one turned out to be distorted, inaccurate and greatly oversimplified. My book never explained what exactly all the fighting was about. It neglected to mention the fact that the Jewish people were irreconcilably divided, locked in a bitter struggle over the very definition of what it meant to be a Jew. It left out the terrible pain and suffering that resulted from assimilated Jews joining forces with the enemy to destroy Judaism, and the senseless tragedy of brother fighting brother. This was a Jewish civil war and – like most civil wars – there was nothing civil about it.

The Background*

In the third century BCE, Alexander the Great exploded onto the world scene. By age 30 he had created one of the largest empires the ancient world had ever seen. Tiny Israel was incorporated into his massive empire, and the Jews suddenly found themselves exposed to all the beauty and splendor Greek culture. Greek values presented a grave threat to the traditional Jewish way of life. Its beliefs were antithetical to the Torah, but its attraction was almost irresistible.

Jews began to assimilate at an alarming rate. They learned the Greek language, studied Greek philosophy and played Greek sports. Many took Greek names. The Greek view that circumcision was a desecration of the body led some Jews to go so far as to undergo a painful procedure to have their Brit Milah surgically reversed.

Greek styles and values dominated Jewish society.

The majority of Jews remained true to the Torah way of life, but wealthy and upper class Jews, enamored of Greek culture, became largely Hellenized. Many no longer saw themselves as members of a Holy
People with a unique covenant with God. Instead they became members of a modern, cosmopolitan elite that strongly identified with Greek culture and political rule. Greek became the spoken language of the upper class and Greek manners, styles and values came to dominate much of Jewish society. Embarrassed by their “backward” Torah-observant brothers, they were determined to “modernize” Jewish society and to do whatever necessary to Hellenize their Jewish brothers.

With the political and military support of their Syrian-Greek allies, a campaign was begun to forcefully eradicate Jewish belief and practice. A reign of terror began against observant Jews and the Jewish way of life. Circumcision and Sabbath observance were banned. Kashrut and marital purity laws were outlawed. All Torah books were ordered to be confiscated and burned. The study of Torah was forbidden. Altars to Greek gods were built throughout the land of Israel. In Jerusalem, in the Holy Temple itself, an idol was erected where pigs were sacrificed daily to the Greek gods.

In short, Jewish practice and Torah observance was forbidden upon pain of death. Women who allowed their sons to be circumcised were killed with their sons tied around their necks. Jews who refused to eat pork or sacrifice pigs were tortured to death. Torah scholars were hunted down and brutally murdered.

In 166 BCE the smoldering tensions erupted into open conflict when Matityahu and his five sons – “the Maccabees” – began an armed rebellion. The Hellenized Jews brought in the forces of their Greek masters as reinforcements. A massive Greek army of 50,000 men deployed against the Jews. The superpower of the ancient world, they were highly skilled and trained professionals. They had the latest weaponry and armor. They rode into battle on elephants, the tanks of antiquity. The Maccabees were able to patch together a guerilla army of a mere 6,000 men.

How Did They Win?

In the Chanukah prayers we say: “You delivered the strong into the hands of the weak, the many into the hands of the few, the impure into the hands of the pure…”

Thinking back, the greatest distortion of truth in my childhood Chanukah book came not from the words, but rather from the pictures. There were dramatic drawings of the fierce warrior-Jews in magnificent battle gear. In reality, the Maccabees were not warriors at all. They were kohanim – priests of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. Their followers were rabbis and yeshiva students. They were most probably physically weak and unimpressive. They had no experience or training. They fought with primitive weapons, sometimes with their bare hands. They fought because they had no choice. They fought because their spiritual existence was threatened. The odds of victory were impossible.

And they won.

There is a Jewish concept known as mesirat nefesh. It means self-sacrifice. It means doing the right thing no matter what the personal cost. It means doing what you need to do even though you don’t see how it can possibly work out.

When done for the sake of Jewish spiritual existence, mesirat nefesh elicits a direct response from God. It creates miracles.

The Maccabees’ victory had nothing to do with military skill and was completely unrelated to physical strength. Chanukah represents this victory of mesirat nefesh. The conflict was ultimately a spiritual one and therefore it was not the sword, but the spirit, that conquered. The Maccabees fought with raw will and brutal determination. Their secret weapon was a self-sacrifice that stemmed from clarity of purpose. Their victory came from their willingness to fight against elephants with their bare hands. It was the victory of spirit over might.

Today

Today the overwhelming majority of Jews are free to study and observeTorah if they choose to do so. I know of no place where Jews today are being tortured to prevent their eating kosher. Yet most Jews do not keep kosher. Mothers who circumcise their sons are not murdered, yet a growing number of mothers choose not do Brit Milah.

Surely the Jewish people have enemies, many who want to physically annihilate us. But we don’t find them trying to uproot our traditional way of life. That we are doing to ourselves.

We have no enemy to blame, making this all the more painful.

Assimilation and intermarriage are rampant. Jewish values are deteriorating daily. Jewish life is under siege. Yet we have no enemy to blame. We are simply falling apart from within. The wound is self-inflicted, and for those who care about Jewish identity, this only makes the suffering all the more painful.

We are in a world that assaults the Jew, pulls him away from his values, and undermines his very sense of self as a Jew.

Chanukah is the holiday of mesirat nefesh. The message of Chanukah is that no matter how impossible it looks, we need to fight off the forces that seek our spiritual destruction. And if today those forces are coming from within, then from within must come our absolute clarity of purpose. We need to know what it means to be Jewish. We need to understand who we are, what we stand for, and why it matters. This is a battle that can only be won with mesirat nefesh, the single-minded determination and self-sacrifice that opens the floodgates of blessing and elicits Divine assistance. This is our greatest strength and the only path to victory.

Only one question remains: Who will join the fight? Who will go down in history as the heroes who saved our people?

*(The historical background is drawn primarily from Rabbi Berel Wein’s book “Echoes of Glory” an excellent resource for further reading on Chanukah)

The Other Side cont.


Image by 顔なし
I was gonna upload some more Tori Amos pictures but this whole Decemberist thing kinda threw me off balance, so if you’re looking for them come back tomorrow and they’ll be here…

So:

I’ve started noticing people on the bus. Not in the, hey I’m not the only one who uses public transportation sort of way, more the, hey I recognize your face and see you everyday on this bus kind of way.

Which leads me to think, am I one of those people to? Do they also recognize me? And if they do is that a fortunate sign? Is it good to be "one of the regulars" a recognizable face in the crowd? Is it an unfortunate sign? I’m not sure. What does it mean to be able to pick out a few random faces that have no names or identities just on the fact that we ride the same bus day in, day out?

I wonder, do they have fictitious back stories for me, like I have for them? How do random strangers who only notice me for the mere fact that we spend 17 minutes sitting or standing near each other everday perceive me?

I mean, I know how I percieve them. I know the varied and ludcrious biographies I’ve made up for them. The different names. The different occupations and love lives. It’s sometimes none too flattering or gracious. Who am I to them? Other than the fat balding guy with glasses who always has a book.

Who am I to myself really? Which is where I’m going with this whole thing, trying to tie it back in with the Mask post.

Who am I to myself. What is my relationship between personal identity and the person I actually am.

I wasn’t really clear the other day with the whole Mask thing. While I am interested in perception and the subjectivity of perception and the philosophical and neurological ramifications of the discussion I wasn’t really getting at that. While it’s a perfectly legit interpretation of what I was talking about, and while I do think about perception more than the next guy, I was more getting towards the existential doubt of idenity.

Now I’m not talking about the Who am I, why am I here, what are my goals, how do I become succesful Tony Robbins self help bent on existentialism, I’m more talking about the What am I, What is my relationship between my "conciousness" and my physical body and brain, What is the physical universe Rene Descartes kind of existential bent.

A few years ago I was under a lot of stress and such things that will be better documented in a private post later, but anyway I was in a mental place where I was questioning the nature of reality a lot.

I’ve read Descarte’s Meditations. That seemed to work well for him, so I sat down one day and tried to go through an equivalent line of reasoning. First I had to prove to myself that I existed.

Rene Descarte got through it pretty easily.

I on the other hand to this day have not gotten past step one in any form of satisfying manner. I’m still not clear on what epistomological or emprical proofs there are that show that I exist.

But anyway for practical purposes I moved on. I allowed myself to accept for the time being that being able to form the mere question of existence proved I existed.

My second step, prove to myself that a physical universe outside my own "mind" existed. Prove there were other "existing" and "concious" things, i.e. people. Again I hit a roadblock which I am faced to this day. But again, practical purposes lead me to move on.

And that’s basically what it boiled down to up into this point. Practicallity. I enjoy being alive. I enjoy whatever "existence" and "conciousness" are. Even if other people aren’t real I generally enjoy most of them. Sensorarly pleasure are still pleasant regardless of what it is and what my relationship to it is.
So for practical purposes I must except this state of doubt to:

What I am.
What the world I percieve is.
What the world I don’t percieve is.
What the other so-assumed concious people are.
and so on.

What the really strange this is is that as I type this I feel this rising panic in me. Some kind of profound anxienty rising up in my trying to prevent me from typing this or continuing this line of reasoning. As if something in me or something external to me is trying to stop me.
I’ve paced around the apartment ten or fifteen times. Drunk countless cups of water. Done all kinds of nervous habitual things to keep myself busy. Some kind of strange euphoria washing over inside me.

What if this is all there is? That’s the happiest and saddest thought to me. This is it. Liberating and confining. If you’ve guessed yet, I’m not a dualist, but that’s for another time.

with love,
TN
