Mh370 Quotes

We dedicate this book to the 239 people who lost their lives on MH370 on March 8, 2014, on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. One of our purposes in writing the book was, in some small way to convey the human stories from the tragedy. We hope we have done this without adding upset to the terrible toll relatives and friends are already facing. Our other, more important task was to pursue the truth about what exactly happened. That is one small contribution we feel we can make to this whole terrible affair.

The Taking of MH370.

Family ties become stronger because they are invested in rather than by making demands out of a sense of entitlement.

I was most pleasantly surprised, with this chart, to see a Yod pointing at the Moon. After all, what other planet influences changeable behaviour and creates a strong magnetic pull? I am tempted to say that the problem of the Bermuda Triangle has been solved: it was the Moon all along! But it is obviously more complicated than that. For one thing, there is a theory that there is an energy vortex operating through the earth, with a corresponding ‘problem’ area on the other side of the world, based near the west coast of Australia in the Indian Ocean. I noticed when I was looking at my Atlas that these trouble spots are on, or near, the Tropic of Cancer in the north, and the Tropic of Capricorn in the south. Being that these circles are the northern-most and southern-most positions of the Sun as it passes over the earth at the summer and winter solstices, there must be a residue of magnetic energy along those lines. To create a vortex, another energy line must be intersecting each tropical line at a right angle (90°). We can see this energy line on the chart: the Pluto-Midheaven opposition would be operating at full strength, as the critical degree is within 45’ of true (meaning, that the difference between the position of Pluto and the Midheaven, directly overhead, is almost exactly 180°). Because Mars is conjunct to Pluto, also opposite to the Midheaven, stormy weather, previously noted in this book, was raging: a potent combination.

Memory, then, is a companion (or a crutch) that keeps alive the notion of the erstwhile unity or wholeness till I discover a new location to re-anchor myself, a new relationship with memory itself, with all people and things.

(C)elebration and mourning were essentially two sides of the same coin.... mourning is a collective process that celebrates the life of one who has gone, and gives a vocabulary to the legacy that lives on. In this process, there is sadness, joy, and celebration, all in good measure.

(T)here are compensations: that something comes to life even as we lose known part of our aliveness, and that gifts unacknowledged or not graced thus far, will emerge to take the place of those that have become inaccessible.

One must find solace and make one’s peace in solitude.

Nursing anger over a prolonged period ultimately corrodes the soul.

Every retelling of a story is never the same since the storyteller seldom remains frozen or impervious to new facts and frames. What remains an exciting prospect is revisiting this story once again after some time has elapsed, through the refreshed lens of a “newer” me, who, in a paradoxical twist, will be an “older” me. Recall Carl Jung, who said: ‘The past is as uncertain as the future’.

In life, some gifts come a little ahead of time, tantalizing with promise. The recipient clings on to them lest they be lost or taken away, a sterile possessiveness when there is no real readiness or wherewithal to savor them.

In a relationship, there is union and unanimity. There is also a tautness and tension that is creative and energizing, where one remains a foil for the other as a way to uncover common ground or an expanded set of perspectives (and choices). Space is experienced in both, but differently. When this tension is taken away, something within collapses. There is only the experience of a void, an emptiness. Filling it up feels phony, and letting it remain is excruciating.

2. El aumento de la ignorancia en la web Así como la gente no puede diferenciar a una persona de un perro en internet, así tampoco sabe discernir siempre la verdad. Los teóricos de las conspiraciones popularizan sus opiniones infundadas en cuestión de día y aun de horas,390 como hemos visto hace poco con el accidente del vuelo MH370 de la compañía Malaysia Airlines. Pensemos que tres de cada diez estadounidenses creen hoy que los seres humanos han existido desde el principio de los tiempos.391 Y pese a la aplastante evidencia científica de que las emisiones de carbono amenazan la vida en la Tierra, aquellos que tienen intereses a corto plazo han denigrado eficazmente la ciencia e impedido un debate inteligente, y no digamos planes de acción. Las personas que usan la red para promover la ignorancia y el negacionismo están ganándoles la batalla a los científicos y racionalistas. Países represivos como Irán y Corea del Norte están creando versiones privadas y restringidas de internet para sus ciudadanos, con lo que convierten la web en una herramienta aún más poderosa para hacer que la ideología triunfe sobre el racionalismo.

Nolan asked, “What’s your real mission? We both know it doesn’t have anything to do with MH370.” “My assignment now is to stay with you until you’re dead. If someone else doesn’t kill you, then I will,” Kaili said.

It is not really letting go of the past that is the problem. It is the coming to terms with letting go of a possible future that will never be. That is the struggle. ..... To let go of the past, you must let go of the future and live in the present.
