I started listening to World Vision podcasts this week. First of all, the stories are amazing. The reasons kids, especially girls can't go to school are unbelievable. But the most moving stories were those where moms/dads did whatever they could to make their children's lives better even as they remained deprived. That is perhaps the most human of all things.
We have a better life than our parents because they wanted us to do better and spent most of their adult life making that possible. It is now our turn.

Managing email notifications in Facebook sucks
So I want to shut facebook from sending me emails.
The link in the footer of each email send me to a page which has a single checkbox - checked - enabling all notifications from facebook. Click on it and submit, the page just refreshes with the check box enabled again. Wonderful.
Fuming, I go to the page that manages all notifications, there are a 100 checkboxes for each event in Facebook, and not a single button to enable/disable them at once.

Harder than life
It was truly moving to watch a person decide to end his life consciously. Most people take objection to assisted suicide for religion. Some go as far as to say its "not being brave", as they did in the case of Craig Ewert (see the comments).
While they are entitled to their opinion they are being callous in judging Craig. To me he is braver than anyone else; more than a terminally ill person who chooses to live through the pain. Death leaves deep scars on the living. It is hard enough having to live without someone loved, I cannot imagine how much more harder it would be to have watched them die after prolonged suffering.
I did not hear about this man before today. However, even I am able to appreciate his life because he did not let his death mar its memory.
I am immensely grateful to his family for sharing his story.
