Interesting how wars are usually named after the country being attacked: Vietnam War, Iraq War, Afghanistan War, Iran War…

Which is probably just good administrative housekeeping.

Because if they named wars after the attacker, modern history would become very hard to follow:

The US War
The US War II
The US War: Desert Edition
The US War: Mountain Terrain Expansion Pack
The US War: Now With Drones
The US War: Limited Engagement, Unlimited Budget
The US War: They Promise This One Is About Freedom
The US War: Director’s Cut, Classified Documents Pending

At some point, historians would stop writing books and just release software updates.

/ Swami Vivekananda /
"The world is a demon. It is a kingdom of which the puny ego is king. Put it away and stand firm."
"Vivekananda (born January 12, 1863, Calcutta [now Kolkata], India—died July 4, 1902, near Calcutta) was a Hindu monk, spiritual leader, preacher, and reformer in India and an activating force in the propagation of Vedanta philosophy in the United States and Britain. Vivekananda, who first gained national and global attention with his historic final speech at the World’s Parliament of Religions in Chicago in 1893, upheld the ideals of social work and humanitarianism as the highest virtues. Considered to be the chief disciple of the Hindu mystic Ramakrishna, he laid the foundation for twin spiritual organizations: Ramakrishna Math (“monastery”) and Ramakrishna Mission. He was addressed as Swami, a title given to Hindu ascetics.

Birth, family, and early life
Narendranath Datta was born into an upper-middle-class family of the Kayastha (scribes) caste in Bengal. His father, Vishwanath Datta, an attorney at the High Court in Calcutta (now Kolkata), was a well-read man of culture and a rationalist. Narendranath’s mother, Bhuvaneshwari Devi, was a homemaker and a deeply religious woman.

Narendranath was one of eight siblings and was affectionately addressed as Naren or Bilé by his loved ones. Biographies of the monk paint a picture of him as a boy: mischievous, bubbling with energy, daring, and possessed of an exceptional memory. After finishing his primary schooling, Narendranath enrolled in the Metropolitan Institute in 1871. He was involved in several extracurricular activities and sports such as wrestling and boxing. In 1879 he enrolled in Presidency College, Calcutta (now Presidency University, Kolkata)..." (Britannica)

"The Interpretation of Dreams" (Die Traumdeutung) is a seminal work by Sigmund Freud, published in 1899. This groundbreaking book is considered one of the foundational texts of psychoanalysis, where Freud introduces his theories regarding the unconscious mind and the significance of dreams.

Freud famously stated that "the interpretation of dreams is the royal road to a knowledge of the unconscious activities of the mind." He posits that dreams are not merely random images but rather meaningful reflections of our unconscious desires and thoughts. Freud argues that every dream has a connection to the dreamer's experiences, often drawing from events of the previous day, even if the connection is subtle.

In the book, Freud categorizes dreams into various types and discusses their sources, including repressed wishes and unresolved conflicts. He also introduces concepts such as dream symbolism and the Oedipus complex, which would later become central to his theories of human psychology.

Freud's exploration of dreams emphasizes their role in revealing hidden aspects of the psyche, suggesting that analyzing dreams can provide insights into an individual's emotional and psychological state. "The Interpretation of Dreams" remains a pivotal text in understanding not only Freud's theories but also the broader field of psychology and the study of human consciousness.
