Quote Of The Day

Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Tennyson

 
There is a Languor of the Life
More imminent than Pain
'Tis Pain's Successor, When the Soul
Has suffered all it can

E Dickinson

I'm selfish,impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle.

But if you can't handle me at my worst ,then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."

I could quote this entire short essay, but I'll choose this excerpt and see if it piques your interest into reading the entire work (15 pages in my edition):

"Why does God afflict the best men with bad health, or grief, or other misfortunes? Because in the army the bravest men are ordered to carry out dangerous missions: it is the picked soldiers whom a general sends to take the enemy by surprise in an attack at night, or to reconnoitre a route, or to force a garrison to yield their position. Not one of them says, 'the general has done me a bad turn,' but rather, 'this is a sign of his favour'. The same should be said by men who are ordered to undergo trials that would make the faint-hearted and cowards weep: 'God has judged us worthy instruments of his purpose to ascertain how much human nature can bear.'"

-Seneca, On Providence, Davie translation.

Yes, it piques my interest. But could I possibly subscribe to such eternal optimism? I'm sure I could not, so no need to test me further.

If it even stirs a little emotion in your heart, I'd definitely recommend spending the time to read it in its entirety. It's gotten me out of deep pits of despair. Another good one to read is Seneca's On the Shortness of Life.

He's one of my favorite philosophers of all time. Very easy to read and practical despite being nearly 2000 years old. Seneca even admits that he can't go without certain luxuries but that doesn't detract from the ideal.

  18. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: whereas if I use fiat to buy something the money is green anyway. Monero does this really well. Anyway rant over, you can DM me if you'd like to talk more about cryptos.
  19. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: I don't really think that people understand the whole point of cryptos in the first place anymore. BTC just won't be adopted by governments because the transactions are too public and what's worse, money that is freshly minted is better than money that has been used. Like if my btc was used for something that was illegal does that mean the money is "poisoned"?
  20. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: @xenxra Yeah, Like I said I've never really been that fond of btc, it isn't used as a currency, just as a place for people to invest money in, even though the whole purpose of btc was to be a currency. If it doesn't fulfill that role, what does? Monero certainly does.
