“The greatest crimes in the world are not committed by people breaking the rules but by people following the rules. It’s people who follow orders that drop bombs and massacre villages.”
-Banksy
Also this appears to be more like quote of day, not thought of the day.
“You cannot have a positive life and a negative mind.”
Joyce Meyer
One cannot help but be in awe when contemplating the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of mystery everyday.
The important thing is not to stop questioning; never lose a holy curiosity.
-Albert Einstein, Life magazine
The golden rule:
What is hateful to you, do to no one. (Treat your neighbor as yourself.)
Once you remove the position of “the ruler”, most of our struggles with ethics and morality collapse into the golden rule.
-Paul Rosenberg
Thought of the day:
Merging threads?
I’ve been thinking about frogs, lately.
In English we say that frogs say “ribbit ribbit” and ducks say “quack quack”. In Croatian we say frogs say: “kre kre” and ducks say “kva kva”. In Russian, however, the situation is reversed and we say that frogs say “kva kva”, but ducks say “kre kre”.
In the Middle Egyptian, a classical literary language used throughout Ancient Egyptian history from about 2000 B.C. to about 300 A.D., the word for frog was qrr (probably pronounced qurar or qarar), which is an example of onomatopoeia.
In reality, however, Frogs have a very wide range of vocalisations: they can trill, chirp, scream, bark, grunt, peep, beep, cluck, croak, quack, whistle, bellow, and hoot, depending what they are trying to communicate in a particular situation. Male frogs typically have vocal sacs. They close their nostrils and mouth and exhale through the larynx to inflate and vibrate the elastic membrane of their vocal sac, which creates a loud sound. This is done to attract female frogs.
The order Anura contains some 7600 species, each one has unique vocalisations. Most species of frogs have very good hearing. Many species have large, external eardrums, called tympani:

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.
If I was a horse and I threw off a rider, and he got right back on again, I’d throw him right back off again.

My thought of the day is that I’m an idiot and you are obviously Croatian (I had thought this at first and then jumped to the obviously incorrect conclusion that you were a Croatian-American descended from a person or persons born in the former Yugoslavia).
Yeah, I’m Croatian. But why would you be an idiot for thinking that I’m not?
I ignored the KISS doctrine basically.

NIGHT THOUGHTS
Thank God, or Someone,
I am not in pain.
As far as I know,
I am in good health.
There is no war.
Tonight, no bombers will come.
Tomorrow will bring no invader.
We are at peace.
The bed is comfortable.
I am warm.
The Rain will fall on the roof,
Not on me.
The cold ground is far below.
The wind blows, the curtains stirs,
I do not feel it.
If frost comes, it will be outside.
Inside, the room is warm.
I am not hungry.
I am not thirsty.
There is no drought.
I am not alone,
I can hear breathing.
I can see.
I can hear.
I can walk.
And I can sleep.
One day, one night,
Death will come,
but not just yet.
For the time being,
All is well.
From page 75 in Raymond Briggs book: Time for lights out
Fear is the mother of morality
Glass frogs make their skin transparent by hiding red blood cells in their livers. 
In order to protect themselves from predators while sleeping on leaves, these tiny frogs make their skin nearly transparent by packing their red blood cells into their livers. Since nearly 90% of their blood cells are collected in one place, the rest of the body appears virtually invisible.
