Things to do today...

By Vichara

It’s truly amazing with the millions of neurons in the brain and the mind numbing speed in which things get processed that there are some who still cannot grasp the concepts of compassion, empathy and genuine simple kindness. Where is that cell, switch, piece of grey matter that triggers that elusive impulse for those humanoids. Perhaps it’s up to us that have been touched by these concepts to act as a catalyst to those that have not. This harkens back to something I presented here before, “3 Things To Do Today”. Do one simple act of Love, Patience or Compassion today. That could be the spark some have been waiting for. You could be the catalyst for someone’s change.

Did you know?
"Wangle," a verb of uncertain origin, has been used in its newest sense, "to obtain by sly methods," since at least the early 20th century. Occasionally, one sees "wrangle" used similarly, as in "wrangle a huge salary," but more typically it means "to argue or engage in controversy." Did the "obtain" sense of "wrangle" evolve through confusion with "wangle"? Not exactly. "Wrangle" was used with the meaning "to obtain by arguing or bargaining" as early as 1624, long before "wangle" appeared in the language. The sense had all but disappeared until recent decades, however, and its revival may very well have been influenced by "wangle." The "obtain" sense of "wangle" is currently more common than that of "wrangle," but both are considered standard.
