“I wish to suggest that a man may be very industrious, and yet not spend his time well. There is no more fatal blunderer than he who consumes the greater part of his life getting his living.”
— Henry David Thoreau, “Life Without Principle”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations (tr. Martin Hammond)
I like to feel the esence of the world through the contains of reality.

A poetry comic for a rainy Saturday from my book THE SHAPE OF IDEAS 🌨
How small a part of the boundless and unfathomable time is assigned to every man, for it is very soon swallowed up in the eternal! And how small a part of the whole substance; and how small a part of the Universal Soul; and on what a small clod of the whole earth you creep! Reflecting on all this, consider nothing to be great, except to act as your nature leads you, and to endure that which the Common Nature brings.
—Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 12.32

Reflections on Seneca
We thrive in the company of our fellows, and we wither away when we are locked into separate boxes. . . .
" ... for we do not need many words, but, rather, effective words. "
This is how it feels to write a first draft.
Sayings of Ramakrishna 283
A kite with a fish in its beak was followed by a host of crows and other kites, which were screeching and pecking at it, and were trying to snatch the fish away.
In whatever direction it went the crowd of kites and crows followed it, screeching and cawing.
Getting tired of this annoyance, the kite let go the fish, when it was instantly caught by another kite, and at once the crowd of kites and crows transferred their kind attentions to the new owner of the fish.
The first kite was left unmolested, and sat calmly on the branch of a tree.
Seeing this quiet and tranquil state of the bird, the Avadhûta, saluting it, said, "You are my Guru, O Kite; for you have taught me that so long as man does not throw off the burden of the worldly desires he carries, he cannot be undisturbed and at peace with himself."
Do you threaten me with death, which is separating me from mankind? Or with exile, which is removing me from the wicked? Death is dreadfu
The only way to avoid being haunted by the Furies is to radically reform our own hearts and minds. . . .
Therefore, as no man can be happy if he is wicked, foolish, or indolent, so no man can be wretched if he is virtuous, brave, and wise.
Reflections on Seneca
How sad to find a lawyer who has never reflected on justice, or a businessman who has never trained for temperance, or a priest who has never practiced piety. . . .
"In other words, if I wish to be myself, and not what others expect me to be, I must be prepared to stand on my own—and that is precisely as it was meant to be. "
"Perhaps humans
also become Pricks
to ward off other
humans because
they’ve met too many
human essencivores."

"If you “change” into something else (like a butterfly), you are just taking on a new fluid form. Perhaps with the ability to freely fly."

"I want to live. I want to make beautiful things of questionable economic value. I want to sleep well every night."

Reflections on Seneca
And now try sleeping at night when you remember how many people you abused, betrayed, and abandoned during your glorious journey. . . .
"The tree is content to grow in its spot of soil and to taste of the sun, simply being a tree. The bird is content to live in the branches of the tree and to nibble on some of its fruit, simply being a bird.
And a man feels the need to cut down all the trees and to hunt down all the birds, because he has not yet learned to be content with simply being a man."
...
A Stoic Breviary
Ask yourself what sort of “gentleman” you really want to be. . . .
And before that:
"It would be a better world if the fancy folks could bring themselves to follow such basic rules of decency."
