Will enjoy all the fireworks this evening from the window

Sounds dangerous to let them off from the window.

Happy Diwali!

I was looking for a relevant film clip but got lost in Bollywood....

We all need a bit of that at the moment.

There is no good and bad, just doesn't exist. All we know is we exist and then we will die. As will the Earth and Sun and everything we think we know. All that that exists is current emotion, everything else is the unchangeable past or featureless future.

Cheerful.

Also - the special font even applies to the raw URL in the address bar. Not seen that done before.

Oh a bit dismal as life opinion, I'm happy to believe in the wisdom , kindness and love of humanity and sadly the inverse. Some supreme being not so much, unless they have a very sick sense of humour.

Stick to Marcus Aurelius and "live a good life"

If you thought that then you wouldn’t have bothered with the original post.

Have you actually read MA in depth?

I was more aiming at pointless wokeism which will fix nothing but chew itself up in the gnashing of self.

Sadly no, just really like that quote. It is a nice maxim to live by. He shared a few.

Abstractions and only apply to higher sentient entities that have the capacity to invent them, driven by evolutionary desires to expand. I mean, what is wisdom? Sometimes you guess right? And how come you believe in them, is there some written dogma that has been written that I'm unaware of? Does love of humanity extend to those who kill, those who rape? Where is the limit or the line, or is it moveable depending on experience and prejudice. You see it is all bulltulip, the person who wishes you well would the next day feck you over.

Laws are an abstract, does the Lion or the Gorilla live by law. Does a Gorilla who kills another go to prison, does a Lion who kills the offspring of the previous male go to hell?
