EN: While the great ones of the Earth build themselves ‘thrones’ for their own power, God chooses an uncomfortable throne, the cross, from which to reign by giving his life. PT: Enquanto os grandes da Terra constroem "tronos" para o próprio poder, Deus escolhe um trono incômodo, a cruz, a partir do qual reinar dando a vida. ES: Mientras los grandes de la Tierra construyen «tronos» para su propio poder, Dios elige un trono incómodo, la cruz, desde donde reinar dando la vida. IT: Mentre i grandi della Terra si costruiscono “troni” per il proprio potere, Dio sceglie un trono scomodo, la croce, dal quale regnare dando la vita. FR: Alors que les grands de la Terre se construisent des «trônes» pour leur pouvoir, Dieu choisit un trône inconfortable, la croix, de laquelle il règne en donnant la vie. DE: Während die Großen der Erde sich „Throne“ für ihre eigene Macht aufbauen, wählt Gott einen unbequemen Thron, das Kreuz, von dem aus er herrscht und Leben schenkt. PL: Podczas gdy wielcy tego świata stawiają sobie “trony” dla sprawowania władzy, Bóg wybiera tron niewygodny, krzyż, z którego króluje, ofiarując życie. #christtheking #cristorey #cristore

 ~ Papa Francisco ~


"My friends and my road-fellows, pity the nation that is full of beliefs and empty of religion. Pity the nation that wears a cloth it does not weave, eats a bread it does not harvest, and drinks a wine that flows not from its own winepress. Pity the nation that acclaims the bully as hero, and that deems the glittering conqueror bountiful. Pity the nation that raises not its voice save when it walks in a funeral, boasts not except among its ruins, and will rebel not save when its neck is laid between the sword and the block. Pity the nation whose statesman is a fox, whose philosopher is a juggler, and whose art is the art of patching and mimicking. Pity the nation that welcomes its new ruler with trumpetings, and farewells him with hootings, only to welcome another with trumpetings again. Pity the nation divided into fragments, each fragment deeming itself a nation." - Khalil Gibran in The Garden of the Prophet (1933)

When the supervisor is an algorithm

"The battle to beat the quota also transformed a monotonous, soul-crushing job into an exciting outlet for workers to exercise their creativity, speed and skill. Workers attached notions of status and prestige to their output, and the game presented them with a series of choices throughout the day, affording them a sense of relative autonomy and control. It tapped into a worker’s desire for self-determination and self-expression. Then, it directed that desire towards the production of profit for their employer."  in HIGH SCORE, LOW PAY: WHY THE GIG ECONOMY LOVES GAMIFICATION (cool essay)
