It’s Hate Crime Awareness Week.

During the course of this week, along with partners our North East Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Team will be sharing information to raise awareness about Hate Crime and how these can be reported to the Police.
A Hate Crime is defined as: “any crime which is perceived by the victim or any other person as being motivated (wholly or partly) by malice and / or ill-will towards a social group.”
To put it simply, Hate Crime is a criminal act against a person or property and generally occurs as a result of an offender’s hostility or prejudice against someone’s:
• Age
• Disability (including physical and learning disabilities and mental health)
• Race (including refugees, asylum seekers and Gypsy Travellers)
• Religion
• S*xual Orientation
• Transgender Identity; and
• Variations in S*x Characteristics
Hate Crime can happen once, or many times and can include physical assault, damage to property, threats or verbal abuse, online abuse.

If you need to report a Hate Crime, but don’t feel comfortable coming to the Police directly, you can contact a Third Party Reporting Centre who will provide you with support to report this to the Police. You can find a list of Third Party Reporting Centres here:

Men, allowed to be sensitive, are beautiful. Vulnerability is the bravest strength.

Being simply rude, mean and unkind are not just rose from the ignorance, they are often initiated from a wounded and unloved self-esteem.

“I hope you heal from the things you don’t talk about.”

Hey you … as you might know me from different stages of my life, I have been an extroverted introvert, the person who is quite quiet, not competitive and is just smiling.

嘿～你所認識的我，可能是不同階段的我；漸漸的我找到了自己的人生方向，漸漸的我越來越了解自己。

These coming two weeks, I am raising fund for the first time in my life, and this boldness comes from the heart where my compassion and my love for humanity reside.

你可能在我人生的不同階段認識我，一直以來，我就是那個內向外向交錯、安靜不爭、總是微笑的人。這兩週，我人生第一次要來募款，這份勇敢 來自我對人性深深的關懷與愛。下週日我將為蘇格蘭高屏藍區的平等委員會公益競走

I am walking for Grampian Regional Equality Council (GREC) in the Kiltwalk in Aberdeen on Sunday, June 1st. Please cheer with me on supporting this world to be a lightly better place each day. Please sponsor me by clicking on the image below 🥰 Every little coin helps:

Attending to the individuals marginalised in the societies has always been where my heart sets its place since little. In the past seven years, being part of the volunteer counsellors for GREC, I have observed and appreciated how GREC cares and GREC's wholehearted committment in inclusion and equality to empower the marginalised societies and in accompanying them to find their voice. In the world filled with so much uncertainty, GREC strives to create spaces where hope can flourish and humanity can thrive - like the lotus flowers blooming in the muddy pond.

從小到大，如果你真的認識我，會注意到
我的心總是自然地靠近那些在社會中被邊緣化的人。這七年來，我在 GREC 擔任義工心理諮商師，深深看見也體會到 GREC 對包容與平等的堅持與真心。他們用心陪伴、賦能弱勢社群，幫助他們找回自己的聲音。

The whole amount of the funding raised are going towards the clients GREC helps, assists and supports. I am proud to raise fund for this organisation, and I hope you will join me to Kiltwalk for GREC, or donate a bit of coins to my page in supports of GREC. Let us embrace the humanity, compassions and human rights

Together, we can continue to make a difference, flourishing the plants of hope to the next generations.

在這個充滿不確定的世界裡，GREC 就像是污泥中的蓮花，努力創造希望的空間，讓人性與愛得以綻放。

這次募得的所有款項，將全數用於 GREC 幫助的個案與服務上。我很自豪能為這樣的組織募款，也希望你能加入我，不管是一起走 Kiltwalk、還是到我的募款頁面捐個小額支持，都是對 GREC 最溫暖的鼓勵。

讓我們一起擁抱人性、同理心與人權的價值，
攜手為下一代種下希望的種子，讓它開花結果🌱💛

馬斯洛的層次結構並沒有止於自我實現──

亞伯拉罕·馬斯洛在去世前不久 又增加了一個層次。

他著名的需求層次理論長期以來一直是心理學的基石，它概述了人類動機從基本生存到自我實現的各個階段。

然而，在晚年，
馬斯洛引入了一個額外的、最後的階段：
自我超越。

這個終極層次超越了個人成就感，
敦促個人去認知到身為人 與人類整體的聯繫。

透過將焦點 從個人成功轉向集體福祉，
自我超越挑戰我們優先考慮整個人類的生存和繁榮，而不僅僅是實現個人目標。

在當今世界，全球危機需要群體慈善意識。我們面臨的最大障礙不是技術上的，而是心理上的──要求我們超越自我。

馬斯洛認為，正念和心流等實踐可以促進自我超越，可以作為培養共同目標感的重要工具。如果人類希望解決最大的挑戰，擁抱這種心態可能是長期生存和全球和諧的關鍵。

Maslow’s hierarchy didn’t stop at self-actualization — he added one more level shortly before he died.

Abraham Maslow’s famous hierarchy of needs has long been a cornerstone of psychology, outlining the stages of human motivation from basic survival to self-actualization.

However, in his later years, Maslow introduced an additional and final stage: self-transcendence.

This ultimate tier goes beyond personal fulfillment, urging individuals to recognize their connection to a larger whole. By shifting focus from personal success to collective well-being, self-transcendence challenges us to prioritize the survival and prosperity of humanity as a whole, rather than merely achieving individual goals.

In today’s world, where global crises demand unified action, Maslow’s final insight feels more relevant than ever. The biggest obstacles we face are not technical but psychological — requiring us to look beyond ourselves.

Practices like mindfulness and flow, which Maslow believed foster self-transcendence, could serve as essential tools for cultivating a sense of shared purpose. If humanity hopes to solve its greatest challenges, embracing this mindset may be the key to long-term survival and global harmony.

With what have been occurring in the States, it ruffled the feathers of the trust many have in the nature of the world. Been thinking of the ways to settle my inner trust in the world and the humanity, the universe brought this sound track to my world. It calms and breathes the peace into the uncertainty, the uneasiness and the sadness. Sharing with all of you, the kind hearted, hypersensitive and empathic individuals 🙏. Let us stay true, unwavered with faith in humanity.

美國現任總統 所激亂的變相，激怒了些許人對世界本質的信任。就在我一直思考著 如何安頓我自己內心對世界、對人性的信任，宇宙 今天 把這首音軌帶到了我的世界。這是我第一次接觸到心經，心經是母親年輕時就歸尋的安定。這首心經音軌將我內心的那份對世界的不確定性、不安和悲傷輕輕地消化了下來 並帶來了平靜。與你們 分享，善良、敏感和富有同情心的人🙏。讓我們保持真實，對人性充滿信心與愛。愛。愛必勝。

大s真的是愛自己，也愛身邊人。 她非常坦然接受別人對自己的愛，也很坦然地去給予愛。 她並不擔心富養的孩子太嬌慣，愛溢出來就去表達。 愛的富養，也會給孩子最堅固的堡壘。

#謝謝妳來到世上

大S的育兒觀“老娘就是要富養”
在《我們是朋友》這檔綜藝節目中，大S的育兒理念就是女兒想要的東西，幾乎是要什麼買什麼。 小s說，女兒們長的快，所以不給她們買1000塊以上的東西，然後大S立馬說，“我買給她”。
⭐️
富養不只是物質，也包括精神上。
當媽媽後，大S說過：“我以前為了變美做的那些努力跟改變，現在為了孩子，我可以乘以100。 “ 她每天都要以講秘密的口吻跟孩子講”我愛你“。

Today, I encountered an inspiring young adult who came to conduct a documentary styled interview with us at Grampian Regional Equality Council, as part of their YPI project. Hopeful for their project to gain GREC CYP Counselling Funding; for them, it’s not just part of their school work, but something I can sense for their mission and project in life. The encounter with this young adult has really enshrined me with the faith and hope for the future humanity. This message is for me, Vivian, that the future of humanity is bright.
