PREFACE The study of social hygiene means the study of those things which concern the welfare of human beings living in societies. There can, therefore, be no study more widely important or more generally interesting. I fear, however, that by many persons social hygiene is vaguely regarded either as a mere extension of sanitary science, or else as an effort to set up an intolerable bureaucracy to... more...

A while ago I came across a newspaper clipping—a recipe written by a Baltimore lady—that had long lain dormant in my desk. It ran as follows: “A great many husbands are spoiled by mismanagement. Some women go about it as if their husbands were bladders, and blow them up; others keep them constantly in hot water; others let them freeze, by their carelessness and indifference. Some keep them in a... more...

MARRIAGE AND LOVE The popular notion about marriage and love is that they are synonymous, that they spring from the same motives, and cover the same human needs. Like most popular notions this also rests not on actual facts, but on superstition. Marriage and love have nothing in common; they are as far apart as the poles; are, in fact, antagonistic to each other. No doubt some marriages have been the... more...

INTRODUCTION I have called this little collection of articles which I have written “THREE THINGS” because to me there seem to be just three essentials to strive after in life. Truth—Common Sense and Happiness. To be able to see the first enables us to employ the second, and so realise the third. And in these papers I have tried to suggest some points which may be of use to others who, like... more...

Wenn du sagst, dass alles, was geschieht, Gerechtigkeit ist, wirst du keine Fragen mehr haben. Dennoch sind die Menschen auf der Suche nach Gerechtigkeit und wünschen sich gleichzeitig die Befreiung. Das ist widersprüchlich. Du kannst nicht beides haben. Wo Fragen aufhören beginnt die Befreiung. In dieser unserer Wissenschaft, genannt Akram Vignan (das stufenlose Wissen des Selbst), bleiben keine... more...

Die Zusammenstöße im Alltag müssen gelöst werden. Warum wollen wir alles durch Konflikte verderben? Das passt einfach nicht zu uns. Menschen befolgen die Verkehrsregeln, die sehr strenge Vorschriften geben. Sie fahren nicht nach ihren eigenen Interpretationen, nicht wahr? Weil sie die Verkehrsregeln befolgen, bleiben sie vor Unfällen verschont. Genau so musst du in deinem Alltag die Regeln... more...

"CATCHING COLDS" Mothers frequently wonder where their children get colds. Briefly we will point out some of the sources from which these apparently inexplicable colds may come. A. Sitting on the Floor.—Children should not be allowed to sit or crawl upon the floor at any season of the year, but especially during the winter months. There is always a draught of cold air near the floor. It is a... more...

1. The Maternal Instinct A man's women folk, whatever their outward show of respect for his merit and authority, always regard him secretly as an ass, and with something akin to pity. His most gaudy sayings and doings seldom deceive them; they see the actual man within, and know him for a shallow and pathetic fellow. In this fact, perhaps, lies one of the best proofs of feminine intelligence, or,... more...

INTRODUCTION. The "Woman Question" will not be put to silence. It demands an answer of Western legislators. It besets college faculties. It pursues veteran politicians to the fastnesses of so-called National Conventions. Under the sacred sounding-boards of New England pulpits has its voice been heard, and its unexpected ally, the London Saturday Review, introduces it to the good society of... more...

Beschweren wir uns, wenn eine Kloake stinkt? Genauso sind Menschen, die unangenehm und negativ sind: wie Kloaken. Alles, was unangenehm riecht, nennen wir eine Kloake, und alles, was angenehm riecht, nennen wir eine Blume. Passe dich beiden an. Beide Situationen sagen dir: “Werde durch uns Vitarag (jenseits von Anhaftung und Abneigung oder ohne Anhaftung).“ Wir alle haben uns viele Male in unserem... more...
