G7 governments could argue that they no longer have the financial means to meet their climate pledges in full, in the wake of the very costly COVID pandemic. But this argument does not hold when we consider that in 2022 the US committed $370 billion over the next ten years for its green energy subsidies, the EU committed €750 billion on its post-COVID, green energy recovery through to 2027; Germany found an additional €200 billion for its own national adjustment to higher energy costs after the invasion of Ukraine, plus a commitment of €100 billion extra for its defence budget over the next five years; and the US and Europe between them provided just under $100 billion for the Ukrainians to defend their country in 2022–23 alone.12 Rather than treating the climate emergency as an opportunity for collective action, countries in the Global South see it as another example of the Global North’s attitude of ‘us first’, despite being the instigators of the planet’s changing climate.
Bu mezar taşını okumak için de üzerine yapışmış sedir yapraklarını temizlemesi gerekiyordu, bu harflerin de elinin altında belirişini izlerken yaprakların orada nasıl asılı kalabildiklerine, haşin ve amansız tehditten nasıl yanıp kül olmadıklarına şaştı:
Judith Coldfield Sutpen. Ellen Coldfield'ın kızı. 3 Ekim 1841'de doğdu. Bu Dünyanın Eziyetine Meşakkatine 42 yıl 4 ay 9 Gün Katlandı ve en Nihayet 12 Şubat 1884'te Huzura Kavuştu. Dur ey Fani; Kibri, Budalalığı Hatırla ve Sakın.
Quentin düşünüyordu. "Evet..."
He had to brush the clinging cedar needles from this one also to read it; watching these letters also emerge beneath his hand, wondering quietly how they could have clunged there, not have been blistered to ashes at the instant of contact with the harsh and unforgiving threat:
Judith Coldfield Sutpen. Daughter of Ellen Coldfield. Born October 3, 1841. Suffered the Indignities and Travails of this World for 42 Years, 4 Months, 9 Days, and went to Rest at Last February 12, 1884. Pause, Mortal; Remember Vanity and Folly and Beware. Thinking (Quentin). "Yes..."

Asa: The class president was jealous of me too. It must be like that for everyone. Everyone's jealous of somebody. Maybe I could have had friends or even a boyfriend. I wish I'd tried living just a little more selfishly.
Efendim astrolog Jane Bowles meditations for Woman who spend too much( çok harcayan kadınlar için meditasyon) adlı kitabında burçların alışveriş alışkanlıklarını inceliyormuş. Yazıda 12 burca mensup olanların alışkanlıkları yer alıyor. işte Bunlardan bazıları: Koç: Spor arabalardan spa üyeliklerine, Pahalı olan her şey koç burcunun ilgisini çeker. güzellik salonlarına üyelikler, sanat eserleri, spor ve şık giyim, seyahat paketleri. Koç burcu alışverişte sınır tanımaz Bowles nasihat ediyor: bütçenizi iyi hesaplayın, altından kalkamayacağınız borçlara girmeyin.
Ne nasihat ama! Burçların hepsini saymaya yerimiz yok. Görüldüğü üzere Sayın Bowles pahalı ürünleri burclara göre dağıtıvermiş. araya ufak ayrıntılar koymuş, Aman fazla harcamayın demiş. Yahu bunu bir parkta "Hanımm, uzat elini de bir falına bakayım" diyen şalvarlı,Roman kardeşimiz de söyler yani, hem de süsleyerek. Ayrıca şurası garip değil mi?
Dünyada her ferdin bir burcu var ama Yozgat'ın Şefaatli ilçesinin bir köyündeki Koç burcuna dahil kadınımız hangi AVM'ye gidip antika seçecek, işte burası meçhul Aslında pek de meçhul değil. Bu sayfanın Hedef kitlesi malum. Zaten sayfanın altında bir AVM'nin ilanı var: "Yıldızlar" kesişiyor! "Burcunuza göre alışveriş rehberi" diyor. Anlayın artık.
Eskiler bu fal merakını boşa çıkarmak için harika bir söz üretmiş "fala inanma, falsız kalma." Sıfıra sıfır elde var sıfır.
Order is not enough. You can’t just be stable, and secure, and unchanging, because there are still vital and important new things to be learned. Nonetheless, chaos can be too much. You can’t long tolerate being swamped and overwhelmed beyond your capacity to cope while you are learning what you still need to know. Thus, you need to place one foot in what you have mastered and understood and the other in what you are currently exploring and mastering.
Then you have positioned yourself where the terror of existence is under control and you are secure, but where you are also alert and engaged. That is where there is something new to master and some way that you can be improved. That is where meaning is to be found.

Naive, harmless people usually guide their perceptions and actions with a few simple axioms: people are basically good; no one really wants to hurt anyone else; the threat (and, certainly, the use) of force, physical or otherwise, is wrong.
These axioms collapse, or worse, in the presence of individuals who are genuinely malevolent.27 Worse means that naive beliefs can become a positive invitation to abuse, because those who aim to harm have become specialized to prey on people who think precisely such things. Under such conditions, the axioms of harmlessness must be retooled. In my clinical practice I often draw the attention of my clients who think that good people never become angry to the stark realities of their own resentments.

“In my kingdom,” as the Red Queen tells Alice in Wonderland, “you have to run as fast as you can just to stay in the same place.” No one standing still can triumph, no matter how well constituted.

Mark Twain once said, “It’s not what we don’t know that gets us in trouble. It’s what we know for sure that just ain’t so.”

We require rules, standards, values—alone and together. We’re pack animals, beasts of burden. We must bear a load, to justify our miserable existence. We require routine and tradition. That’s order. Order can become excessive, and that’s not good, but chaos can swamp us, so we drown—and that is also not good. We need to stay on the straight and narrow path.
