Belief in freedom of will is a primary error committed by everything organic, as old as the impulse to the logical itself; belief in unconditioned substances and in identical things is likewise a primary, ancient error committed by everything organic. Insofar, however, as all metaphysics has had principally to do with substance and freedom of will, one may designate it the science that treats of the fundamental errors of mankind — but does so as though they were fundamental truths.

Friedrich Nietzsche, Human, All Too Human, 18

Attending SF Pride in the ‘80’s and ‘90’s was like accidentally walking into a huge room where the best party was happening; there was no need to show ID, or a membership card, and everyone in every shape, size or format was welcomed. It was the closest I came to experiencing a community of joy in a city with all the barriers removed.

No thing can be destroyed except through an external cause.

from Ethics by Benedict Spinoza

I love you enormously. I’m spending a little time away from you—quite absurd and contingent. I would so like to see you, my stubborn little thing, and tell you my stories and hold your hand. You are my love, you good little being. Far from you I measure the nothingness of the flesh, and I am not having much fun.

Hard work does pay off. But what I didn't realize is that you need balance, and you cannot make your happiness contingent on work, or on anything outside of you, for that matter, right? At the risk of sounding cheesy, it's gotta be a more spiritual thing.
