The world is a fascinating place. It is full of so many beautiful things, from natural wonders to man-made designs, that it is hard to believe we ever get bored.
However, routines do often get the best of us and we forget what an interesting place we live in. The good thing is that there are people online that are ready to kindly remind us of the everyday delights that surround us. For example, the mildly interesting community on Reddit. They have over 22 million members who share their daily discoveries of things that are a little out of the ordinary, proving that one can find bliss in little things. Scroll down to see the collection of our recent favorites.

My Freelance Language-Teaching Job In Germany Does Not Allow Scientologists Or Scientology Teaching Methods
That's probably because Germany legally considers Scientology to be a business masquerading as a religion and considers its values to contradict certain provisions of the German constitution. So if this employer works with the government on any contract or with other religions (which unlike Scientology are tax exempt) it may need to cover its a*s and make sure it is not in any way associated with scientology.
And this 😅 https://www.welt.de/politik/article231667/Scientology-draengt-auf-den-Nachhilfemarkt.html
Load More Replies...Finally. A country that understands how screwed up Scientology is. If only the US was that smart.
You remember "Studienkreis"? 20 years ago it was discovered that the teachers were from Scientology and shoult try to get the kids into their "church"
No religious teaching methods should be allowed anywhere. No religions should be allowed anywhere.
Germans have learnt to recognise a dangerous cult when they see one.
Sad that they have that issue but even sadder that some people don't see it as an issue.
I’m all for freedom of religion, but I’m not all for scamming people. L. Ron Hubbard admitted in a letter to a friend that he made his comic series which would become the basis of Scientology a religion for financial gain. It’s been a while since I have read the exact details on that claim, but I will never forget it and I’m pretty sure the letter is linked somewhere on Wikipedia.
What do you think Catholicism is. All religion is scamming people and Scientology came from dianetics a self help book L. Ron Hubbard wrote which he later turned in to a religion
Load More Replies...I’m guessing that Germany would have a problem with any organization that’s cultish and fanatical.
I was wondering why Germany, of all countries, would be so careful about not letting Scientology grow there … but then I remembered … oh yeah the Nazi’s. And their current leader seems pretty similar to Hitler in terms of stature and god-like status amongst followers.
wouldn't pass first amendment muster at a public school in the states, but good on the germans for keeping this nut out of their schools.
Germany has religious freedom, too - only Scientology is not categorized as a religion/church here, but as a cult. I know the line from one to the other is fine with a lot of gray blurring the distinction, but luckily our jurisdiction so far is clear in putting Scientology firmly on the "cult" side.
Load More Replies...I believe Scientology is classed as a cult in Germany and therefore is 'banned'.
It's a cult. Germany wants no part of a cult moving into their country. Can't say I blame them.
My ex mated with a Scientologist who fathered twin boys, my son's half-brothers. When the State of California stepped in to get child support payments the Scientologist reported back that they paid him a mere $100. a month but supplied him with a home for him, his wife, and their 3 kids, they pay for groceries and sundries, and so he never paid a dime for his sons. He met them once. One graduated Valedictorian from Fresno State and was hired before he graduated by the National Football League in Manhattan, New York City. The other attended Cal Poly and graduated with a Landscape Architect degree and was hired before he graduated. Along with my son, three fine men.
As an existential nihilist, I don't think Scientology is any more whackadoodle than any of the so-called organized religions. When belief outweighs reality, it doesn't belong in any public forum where divergent views are held.
That's good. Should include all cults...but who decides if it's a cult...always the problem.
Reasonable, but is there a way of making sure the workers are telling the truth? I mean, there's no certificate or document that proves you aren't a member.
All religions are cults that feed on the stupid
Load More Replies...In Germany scientology has been deemed a cult and does not hold religious status.

For some people, putting on makeup could be a fun activity to incorporate in their day, but for others it’s a chore. Some might love trying out new recipes while they cook, while others might get too overwhelmed by that. Choose what suits your desires and schedule.
Once you know what lifts your mood, start incorporating small changes into your routine. Listen to new music when you can—it might help you discover an artist you like. Wear something different and bold. This could mean adding more color to your wardrobe or getting a few fun accessories to spice up your outfits.

If you’re interested in a more systematic approach to incorporating more fun into the everyday, you can take a closer look at your already established routines. Once you know what they are, you can try to make them a little more fun. That could be as simple as changing your route on the way to work—you never know what new discoveries you’ll make when you stroll down new streets.

When looking at your routines, you might find that there are things you do in your day that eats up your free time. This could be your phone, TV, or the lack of simple organization. Whatever it may be, once you eliminate it, you can use that time to do something you actually enjoy. So, instead of mindlessly watching the old familiar show because the TV is on, you might tune into a new one or catch up on your reading.

Adding more fun to your morning routine can improve the attitude for the rest of your day. Maybe that means turning on some music while you take a shower. Or, it could be doing some easy stretches when you step out of bed to get your blood flowing. Include an easy skincare routine, add a quick morning walk, try out journaling, or a dose of meditation and breathing exercises. Whatever makes you feel happy!

Changing up your surroundings can also bring more fun into your day. This could be putting up art or pictures on your walls, getting a new houseplant, or freshening it all up with a bouquet of flowers. You can also venture into more serious endeavors and rearrange the furniture in your space, but do so with caution—you do not want a little bit of fun to start causing you headaches.
