Oct.26, 2018: Mount Precipice, also known as Mount of Precipitation, Mount of the Leap of the Lord and Mount Kedumim is located just outside the southern edge of Nazareth, 2.0 km southwest of the modern city center.
It is believed by some to be the site of the Rejection of Jesus described in the Gospel of Luke.: ..."Then He said, "Assuredly, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own country. But I tell you truly, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, and there was a great famine throughout all the land; but to none of them was Elijah sent except to Zarephath, in the region of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian." So all those in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, and rose up and thrust Him out of the city; and they led Him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw Him down over the cliff. Then passing through the midst of them, He went His way. (Luke 4:14-30)
Do yourself finally realizing that something isn't meant to be? You tried to be the best player on the team yet someone else has always shined brighter.
The door doesn't have to shut completely, just enough to let it be known you have left reservation. No need for some tearful scene. Good old-fashion silence works best here. It's time to exist like a lady. You stay on his mind longer

Saw this while walking nearby the drain, and saw this on the drain pipe... interesting... wonder if that person committed suicide after writing this....??
Scary thought...
Hearing the word No is not a Rejection of who you are - No… The Concept No… The Word No… The Idea ‘No’ sting; and for many viscerally. Rejection does not feel good, and many have abandoned Prospecting for new business, because they heard a few forceful… Read more: bit.ly/VLQURW

Verdict 2009: Is It a Rejection of the Left Agenda? .
In India, in the recent Lok Sabha elections, the CPI-CPI(M)-led Left Front faced a severe and unprecedented debacle reduced from 60-plus seats to 24 seats in parliament and receiving a severe drubbing in West Bengal where they had enjoyed unchallenged dominance for 32 years. The entire ruling class and their array of appendages from the liquor-barons like Vijay Mallya to corporate media mandarins are using the CPI-CPI(M) debacle in the elections as an opportunity to ridicule and discredit the entire Left and even the pro-people agenda of Indian politics. In particular, they claim that the opposition of the Left to policies of liberalization and US imperialism are outdated and anachronistic. Are they right? Have Indian people really dealt a blow to Left ideology in these elections? Is India an exception to the international phenomenon where, in the wake of the massive crisis in the capitalist economy, there is a renewed interest in Marxism? .
A closer look at the facts reveals that the corporate media is clearly distorting or evading facts in its self-serving bid to rubbish the Left ideology and agenda. Interestingly but quite unfortunately a powerful section of the CPI-CPI(M) too is lending legitimacy to such distortions. .
First, let us take the case of West Bengal. Was the CPI-CPI(M) and its state government here rejected by the people after 32 years because it opposed US imperialism, the Nuke Deal, or policies of liberalization? On the contrary, is it not obvious that the people punished CPI-CPI(M) for their own betrayal of Left principles by arrogantly promoting corporate land grab and SEZs by Tatas, Jindals and MNCs, and crushing the peasant resistance through massacres and state repression? The CPI-CPI(M) state government aroused the peoples anger by its ruthless willingness to shed the blood of the very peasants who had been its most loyal supporters in order to implement the very policies and benefit the very corporates which it claimed to have opposed all along! And the CPI(M) central leaderships stubborn defence of such policies and even of the worst of the massacres and the repression further discredited the party all over the country, especially among students and youth. Clearly the West Bengal result in itself cannot be seen as a rejection of the Left and resurgence of the Right. It is significant that the issues of land, livelihood and liberty central to any meaningful Left agenda have figured most prominently in West Bengal. While the ruling Left Front aggressively defended a right-wing pro-corporate agenda and state repression, the forces of the Right shrewdly adopted a largely Left posture, pretension and rhetoric to cash on the rising mass resentment among the peasants and poor of West Bengal. .
Take the example of Kerala next. Kerala is the state which has the proud legacy of the first ever elected communist government in the world. What, then, turned the people of this state against the CPI(M) in the last election? .
The CPI(M)-led LDF here did not lose ground because it was loyal to Left values and principles, but rather because of the growing trends of corporatisation and corruption which are at odds with communist values. .
From encouraging aid by imperialist agencies like World Bank and ADB to promoting corporate lobbies and large-scale corporate ventures like the Smart City IT project at Kochi, to the party itself emerging as a major corporate business house worth Rs. 4000 crore owning enterprises ranging from a water park with a Rs. 300 entrance fee, five-star tourism resorts, super speciality hospitals, TV channels etc. .
This pro-corporate trend, though more pronounced and blatant now, was present even in the very first CPI(M)-led state government in the state which gave the Birlas land for its Grasim pulp factory at Re 1 per acre, heavily subsidised power, millions of litres of free water and tens of thousands of tonnes of softwood from Keralas forests (at prices that were a fraction of what tribals who depended on the forest had to pay). Today, again, when the tribals and dalits asserted their rightful claim over forest land illegally occupied by corporations and plantation lobbies in Chengara, the CPI(M) sought to crush them through terror tactics and unholy alliances with right-wing forces. .
In the last Lok Sabha polls in Kerala, the CPI(M)s response to the corruption charges in the Lavalin case against its state secretary Pinarayi Vijayan also contributed to alienating people from it. Vijayan, well-known as an aggressive promoter of pro-corporate policies, is the first Left leader in the country to be charge-sheeted by the CBI -a serious cause for concern for all on the Left, which has hitherto enjoyed the well-deserved credibility of being free of the rampant corruption that grips most other parties. The CPI(M) could have redeemed its credibility by answering the corruption charges and initiating disciplinary action against the accused; instead it chose to celebrate it with a public .

It is believed by some to be the site of the Rejection of Jesus described in the Gospel of Luke.: ..."Then He said, "Assuredly, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own country. But I tell you truly, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, and there was a great famine throughout all the land; but to none of them was Elijah sent except to Zarephath, in the region of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian." So all those in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, and rose up and thrust Him out of the city; and they led Him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw Him down over the cliff. Then passing through the midst of them, He went His way. (Luke 4:14-30)
