“La sabiduría de la vida consiste en la eliminación de lo no esencial. En reducir los problemas de la filosofía a unos pocos solamente: el goce del hogar, de la vida, de la naturaleza, de la cultura”.
Lin Yutang
Cervantes
Hoy es el día más hermoso de nuestra vida, querido Sancho; los obstáculos más grandes, nuestras propias indecisiones; nuestro enemigo más fuerte, el miedo al poderoso y a nosotros mismos; la cosa más fácil, equivocarnos; la más destructiva, la mentira y el egoísmo; la peor derrota, el desaliento; los defectos más peligrosos, la soberbia y el rencor; las sensaciones más gratas, la buena conciencia, el esfuerzo para ser mejores sin ser perfectos, y sobretodo, la disposición para hacer el bien y combatir la injusticia dondequiera que esté.

Saudi Arabia seeks to form coalition against Shia Muslims: Russian lawmaker

A Russian lawmaker says Saudi
Arabia’s execution of prominent Shia cleric Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr
indicates that Riyadh has been trying to launch a ‘coalition against
Shia Muslims.’
“The sensational execution in Saudi Arabia
has demonstrated that it is trying to create… an anti-Shia coalition,”
said head of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the lower house of
Russia’s Parliament, Alexei Pushkov.
On Saturday, the Saudi
Interior Ministry announced that Sheikh Nimr had been put to death along
with 46 others convicted of being involved in “terrorism.”
A Saudi court had sentenced him to death in 2014. Iran’s
President Hassan Rouhani, who condemned Saudi Arabia’s “non-Islamic and
inhuman” act of executing Sheikh Nimr, has said the move was in line
with Riyadh’s sectarian policies.
“Such a measure is in line with
sectarian policies and aims to spread terrorism and extremism in the
region and across the world, which have destabilized the region and
waged war and conflicts in recent years,” Rouhani said on Sunday.
Senior
Iranian cleric Ayatollah Nasser Makarem-Shirazi also said the Saudi
“crime” is in line with “creating a sectarian war between Sunnis and
Shias.”
The execution also saw condemnations from Iraq and the UN.
Muslims and human rights activists all over the world also protested
Nimr’s killing.
