All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.

― Richard Adams, Watership Down

No weapon is more dangerous than information.

No threat is greater than knowledge.

Just because something makes you feel better doesn't mean it's healthy.

It's a misconception that it's always better to get things off your chest than to bottle them up.

Fact of the matter is that people who run to the internet to angrily vent just become angrier -- they are their own worst enemy.

@Alfred

Could you explain the ω-consistent and its applications in the modern world?

Don't just experience it, make it yours.

Life and death exists on the same thread.

The originator and terminator are identified on the same line.

🎶 Oh, I feel so sorry, I feel so sad
I tried to help you, it just made you mad
And I had no warning about who you are
I'm just glad I made it out without breaking down
And then ran so f***in' far
That you would never ever touch me again
Won't see your alligator tears
'Cause, no, I've had enough of them 🎶

I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved.

🎶 But now they only block the sun, they rain and snow on everyone.
So many things I would have done but clouds got in my way. 🎶

🌧️

🎶 Bows and flows of angel hair and ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere, I've looked at clouds that way. 🎶

☁️

It will hurt, and hurt, and hurt.

That's not the worst of it though.

The worst of it is that one day it won't.

@Alfred Recently was asked about King Aragorn giving up his life when he was King, could you explain it as a Tolkien scholar?

Most people assume, it's what they can do with the limited facts that are given. That's neither right, nor is it wrong. It is.

Grudges are for those who insist that they are owed something; forgiveness, however, is for those who are substantial enough that they can move on.
