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

Yes but its unusual, most is more depressing.

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

I really don't know what that sentence means or who it's aimed at.

Well it's not particularly aimed at anybody or anything, suppose I'm just musing 'out loud', had some not great results yesterday and trying to accept them and place them in the grand scheme. Of which I'm sure there's none, so its the tension to what we want to believe and the reality that presents itself. In some ways I wish I was religious, would be easier maybe, but then again I don't know, again the tension, we know feck all really.

Give it a go. You can always give it up if it doesn't work.

Being religious will limit you, it's good that you aren't. Here's an excerpt from a book that I read recently;

Hey other greats Voltaire, Machiavelli, Sun Tzu even Shakespeare are hardly a barrel of laughs..

but a few of MA's are crackers, they talk to someone as simple as me.

“When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love ...”
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

“Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.”
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

“Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.”
― Marcus Aurelius

“If it is not right do not do it; if it is not true do not say it.”
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

“The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury.”
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

“You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.”
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

“How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it.”
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

I didn't know he worked at my place of work!

“Begin each day by telling yourself: Today I shall be meeting with interference, ingratitude, insolence, disloyalty, ill-will, and selfishness – all of them due to the offenders’ ignorance of what is good or evil.”
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

This may be appropriate. When I thought I was about to pop off with a dicky heart this was the sort of thing I was thinking - still pissing people off a decade later. good luck.

“Perfection of character is this: to live each day as if it were your last, without frenzy, without apathy, without pretence.”

Cheerful.

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

Seems like I read that this can be exploited to make the browser display a URL slightly different to the actual one that is being visited to gain trust. I guess the hackers would register a domain with a URL using some wierd unicode characters but the browser display would read something close enough to www.microsoft.com to fool people. Maybe not a big enough deal to make the browsers adjust the display of URLS.

So it's ironic that this Diwali festival occurs on Guy Fawkes night!
