Cupping Mechanism

The "Mom" sitcom had an ingenuous way of AAs enjoying a drink. They just raised their cupped empty hand to each other in a toast before raising it to their mouth.

Mediation likewise deals creatively with disputes

Bravado

Johnny Bravo was one cartoon to which I expressed disapproval to my grand/ children. Thus, it was to my surprise when I read recently that it was actually
written by a Filipino as a thesis in the States.

Understandably, sometimes feelings of inadequacy can be sublimated to bluster.

Ein Stain

History's feature on Albert Einstein had this genius later regretting that his life's work ultimately led to the creation of the atom bomb. He was said to have wanted to be a fisherman instead!

Truly, a genius at self-acceptance which is needed in mediation.

Maia Labandera

AM not LACking in alibis out of this wishy washy cycle, she said. Coincidental trip to Tokyo diverted to Jerusalem.

Call to mediation.

Al Gore Rhythm

Former US Vice President, and probably one of  the best Presidents they never had, Al Gore was in town to mediate between the world and climate change.

Another voice crying in the wilderness of waste.

Kidding Around

In a "Baby Blues" cartoon, mom lists to her little son his misdemeanors the past hour. Later asked by his dad what he has been up to, the son replies,"multi-pesting."

In mediation, parents have been guilty of the same.

Mediating at the Parking Lot

"Joe Somebody" was just like that; hence, prone to parking bullies. However, after feeling the concern of their company's Wellness Manager, and buoyed by martial arts lessons and the sympathy of other co-bullied, he decided not to go through with his scheduled boxing match with the bully.

Mediation likewise empowers disputants to proactive action.

Alleging

In "Allegiant," yet another sci-fi movie, you get to realize that some things just remain the same. In one scene, there was a mob prosecution that was straight out of Calvary.

So it is in mediation, minus the mob.

Kung Po Pandak

Like "The Little Prince," simple stories you would think was meant for children have nuggets of wisdom. Kung Fu Panda 3 had this message,"The more you take, the less you have."

Mediation has all too often seen this.

Bad At Being Good

This message was on the tee shirt of a member of UP's Alpha Nu fraternity of gays.

Timely message this Holy Week.  At least, they are honest about it, when they go for mediation.
