You know there’s a problem when you start seeing too many social media accounts teaching young men and women about ‘game’. You always feel your heart sink into your gut after seeing what they write.
Do you really think your grandparents needed this so-called advice?
This is how far our society has fallen
No one trusts love – real love – anymore
We are broken people in broken societies
Craving what is real and natural
But unable to accept and trust it
Because we choose not to trust ourselves
Only the wounded play and are played by games
Healthy, well-adjusted women lead with their heart
She offers it trustfully to a man who genuinely cares for her
There is no need to demand obedience or the brutality of command
When she knows her heart is met by the grounding of a good man
His certainty, understanding, and patience softens her
As men need our certainty, understanding, and patience to strengthen
This is all as simple as listening to your heart
Not listening to somebody else who is too afraid to love.

Biosecurity for Air Transport
A Roadmap for Restarting Aviation
Passenger contact tracing
We foresee the need to collect more detailed passenger contact information which can be used for tracing purposes.
Where possible, the data should be collected in electronic form, and in advance of the passenger arriving at the airport including through eVisa and electronic travel authorization platforms.
IATA strongly recommends that states set up government internet portals in order to collect the required passenger data. Using internet-based technology would allow the use of a wide range of devices for the data capture (computers, laptops, tablets, mobile phones, etc.).
Immunity passports: In principle, we believe that immunity passports could play an important role in further facilitating the restart of air travel. If a passenger could be documented as having recovered from COVID-19 and thus as being immune, they would not need protective measures

“If you trust in Nature, in the small things that hardly anyone sees and that can so suddenly become huge,
immeasurable;
if you have this love for what is humble and try very simply, as someone who serves, to win the confidence of what seems poor:
then everything will become easier for you, more coherent and somehow more reconciling, not in your conscious mind perhaps, which stays behind, astonished, but in your innermost awareness, awakeness, and knowledge.”
Rainer Maria Rilke
