"A human being is a part of the whole called by us,universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."

The US Senate approved new sanctions against Iran aimed at convincing the Islamic Republic to suspend its uranium enrichment, which western powers say is a cover for developing nuclear weapons.
The measure was approved unanimously ahead of talks Wednesday in Baghdad between Iran and representatives of the world’s main powers.
The bill allows President Barack Obama to impose sanctions on any country or company that enters joint ventures with Iran to develop its oil or uranium resource, or provides technology or resources to help Iran with such development.
It also includes measures against anyone who provides goods that “materially contribute to Iran’s proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) program or its terrorism-related activities.”
Iran insists its nuclear program is purely for civilian purposes.
“Both the White House and Congress are committed to preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons capability,” said Democratic Senator Robert Menendez, the bill’s chief architect.
Iran can either “come to Baghdad with a real plan” to end its nuclear program “or we’ll make our own plan — through sanctions or other necessary measures — to ensure that Iran fails to achieve its nuclear ambitions.”
“The Senate has worked hard to improve our sanctions toward Iran,” added Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, “and this effort, combined with the sanctions of the European Union, should strengthen the hand of our own negotiators.”
The bill must now be reconciled with sanctions approved by the US House of Representatives on December 14.
