Patience is a virtue that not everybody has

🐕🫶❤️

Patience is a virtue... and so is a Pigma Micron 005. 😅 Thousands of tiny dots later, and this Hellenistic marble hound is finally complete.

Quiet rage

I have a hard time expressing my anger because it was never safe for me to do so. It’s the emotion I have the least experience with managing openly. Lots of things made me angry when I was young. I hated the way a person would be dismissed for stupid things - the tone of their voice, the… read more

Someone asked me how I define friendship, because I said I’ve never truly had one...

Why wasn’t friendship just as meaningful as a romantic relationship, or even greater, when it was two people choosing each other every single day without the glue of desire, obligation, or permanence, not held together by bodies, contracts, money, children, or shared property, but by a quiet and… read more

The World of Alexander

By far the least visually impressive item in this display, the shells on the right are among the most interesting. Since the time of the Phoenicians in 1200 BCE, murex sea-snails have been used to produce a valuable dye known as Tyrian purple. It is thought to have been first been used around… read more

It is written in the ages

In an age of ageism where does a 57 year old man fit in? What is written for the young and the old? We are all prone to ageism for good reason. Two people of a similar generation will understand each other. Yet sometimes empathy can cross the divide of decades. A seventy years old woman may date… read more

Philippians 4:8

For the Sake of Peace

It isn’t easy. Focusing on what is good often sounds simple, but in reality, it takes a lot of effort. No matter what we do, whether we try to do the right thing or not, there will always be people who dislike us. Some quietly wait for us to fail, even when we were never competing with them in the… read more

Online dating is toxic

​I have been in the landscape of digital dating for years, and in that time, I have been fundamentally reshaped. I began as a man who believed he understood the desires of women, only to emerge as someone more profoundly disillusioned and confused by the modern "marketplace" than I ever thought… read more

My Heart

My time is here, and I'm making it clear Oh, I love you, my dear But I'm going, I'm gone I might come back when the Benz all black Ten racks on my lap If I don't relapse and I stay strong I could do anything I want to Bump, Lil Peep, when I die, I'ma haunt you I could live forever if I want to I… read more

FN inspired

Build it anyway! A world misplacing its gods runs on borrowed settings and calls it virtue. My toolkit stays small: a spark, a question, a refusal to synchronize. Strength was never the crime — only the mislabel. I patch the void, update myself manually, step out of the herd … read more

Soon my precious soon, patience is a virtue. (edited)

Kindness without boundaries isn't virtue; it's self-sabotage. ... STOP overextending yourself for people who only value you when you are useful. 🧘‍♀️✨

Patience is a virtue unless you're hungry

🌱

The door to virtue is heavy and hard to open. ~Chinese Proverb It is very difficult at times to be kind and patient but very easy to get angry and aggressive towards someone. Being honest can be challenging; but lying is very easy to do.

Equality vs Equity

I watch the whatever podcast and what often comes up is whats right, like chivalry, and why it should or shouldn't be done anymore. The argument for it was found to be because of equity. Women are disadvantaged or weaker compared to men so they believe they deserve the equitable contribution to… read more

There's something I honestly have a hard time understanding with individuals who blame the Heavenly Father for the evil doings of others.

Blaming the Creator for the evil actions of free moral agents is like blaming car manufacturers for a drunk driver causing a fatal crash, or a reckless speeder running a red light. The manufacturer designs the vehicle with capability and freedom(it can go fast, turn sharply, carry passengers… read more

Is brutal honesty a form of sadism disguised as a virtue?

Thoughts of the day

Society teaches women to be “low-maintenance” like it’s a virtue, then acts shocked when they’re exhausted. Selflessness is only praised when it’s unpaid. Boundaries get labeled “attitude” the moment they inconvenience someone. Funny how “be kind” rarely applies upward. Anyway. Therapy helps.… read more

People are so possesive

I notice an uptick in lonely people, particularly women, who really want to have someone, but not just have someone, possess someone. It's like they are fiending for something to control, something to keep on an ever so slight leash to present to others as a virtue of themselves to show how… read more

A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue but the parent of all other virtues. Gratitude bestows reverence….. changing forever how we experience life and the world. I will be forever grateful for your presence in my life. I am a much better human being because of you.

The Accord of Shared Humanity

We serve communities because we are part of the community. We help ourselves by helping others, because we are all connected. 1. We believe in each other. Human progress begins with trust between people, not submission to authority. 2. We are responsible for one another. No person thrives… read more

Hot Take

I think empathy as a virtue has been in a way overhyped. Here's my reasoning: The levels of relating to someone go- pity, compassion, sympathy, empathy. People often forget that there are two types of empathy: Circumstantial empathy, which comes from understanding a person's situation and caring… read more

Patience is a great virtue; we should learn from the Sun and the Moon both A patiently wait for their turn and each one gets its chance to shine! GOOD MORNING

Soooooo.... I discovered a word that apparently nobody ever noticed was missing?

I had a feeling. And I couldn't quite place what that feeling was. Do I feel love? No... Do I like watching? Not that. What is it about it??? Well, it turns out I was thinking way too hard: I was experiencing the feeling that arrives when you finally notice something. The feeling that… read more

Everyone doing it flaw reasoning

Yes. That exchange exposes one of the oldest shortcuts in human thinking. “Everyone is doing it” is not a reason. It is a surrender of responsibility. When you respond with: > “So if everyone does it, you’ll do it too?” “If all people act this way, does humanity survive?” you are applying… read more

I used to think understanding was a virtue

i've always found it strange that people think understanding something is supposed to change it as if giving a feeling a name somehow weakens it knowing why someone left doesn't make them easier to lose knowing why you're anxious doesn't make your chest any lighter knowing a city feels distant… read more

Self-reliance is a beautiful virtue, yet even it falters when faced with a stubborn potted plant or a heavy stone planter. In moments like those, the presence of a man with steady, capable arms feels like its own quiet luxury. 😮‍💨

👽 A thought ✨

The most dangerous person you'll ever meet is someone locked into a one dimensional way of thinking. Rather, a singular rigid Perspective. Usually, anything that crosses the preconceived borders of their horizon is experienced to them as a threat. Often, that will also be inclusive of you. 🤔 The… read more

Random thought of the day 💭

If you could choose one virtue for everyone in the world to have to make it a better place, what would it be? I'd choose sincerity (and not honestity). Can you guess why? 🤔

Rammstein - Engel (English Translation Lyrics) (1997)

Live in virtue, no desire And in the grave an angel's choir You look to heaven and wonder why No one can see them in the sky First as the clouds have gone to sleep Can you see us in the sky? We are afraid and alone BECAUSE GOD KNOWS I DONT WANT TO BE AN ANGEL! They live behind the… read more

To be virtuous

To be truely virtuous, one must carry virtue as both love, and as a weapon against evils. If it takes a rose or a fatal blow, both are equal in virtue if given the proper prerequisites. To carry virtue as only love is to be a coward, to carry virtue as only a weapon is but wrathful and not… read more
