A quotation from Bertrand Russell
The happy life is to an extraordinary extent the same as the good life. Professional moralists have made too much of self-denial, and in so doing have put the emphasis in the wrong place. Conscious self-denial leaves a man self-absorbed and vividly aware of what he has sacrificed; in consequence it fails often of its immediate object and almost always of its ultimate purpose. What is needed is not self-denial, but that kind of direction of interest outward which will lead spontaneously and naturally to the same acts that a person absorbed in the pursuit of his own virtue could only perform by means of conscious self-denial.
Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Conquest of Happiness, Part 2, ch. 17 “The Happy Man” (1930)More about this quote: wist.info/russell-bertrand/818…

Hey #makeup, #skincare, and #candy companies, how about you make some #LentCalendars instead of #AdventCalendars? Since #lent is more about #asceticism, the calendars could have some restraint to them, making them less indulgent than #advent. Like the products might be #vegan, #sugarfree, #fairtrade, #fragrancefree, etc. I've always felt there's an uneven emphasis on #advent and #christmas than #lent and #easter. This could make the demand more bearable! Think about it.

Cafh: Let’s work deliberately, methodically, and persistently on unfolding to expand our state of consciousness, through asceticism.
Trabajemos en forma deliberada, metódica y persistente en desarrollar nuestro estado de conciencia; ese trabajo se llama ascética.

The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection, that one is sometimes willing to commit sins for the sake of loyalty, that one does not push asceticism to the point where it makes friendly intercourse impossible, and that one is prepared in the end to be defeated and broken up by life, which is the inevitable price of fastening one’s love upon other human individuals. No doubt alcohol, tobacco and so forth are things that a saint must avoid, but sainthood is also a thing that human beings must avoid.
George Orwell (1903-1950) English writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]

William Burkitt, #Anglican, on bible story of Lazarus (Lk 16). The rich man is “censured” in hell not for his wealth, but his senuality, forgetting to feed the hungry man with superfluities from his table.
Are the “censures” that would come today, more likely to be for the crime of criticizing the rich?
How can you remember to feed the hungry with your superfluities?

Archaeologists in Jerusalem have uncovered the remains of a Byzantine female nun.
"She was found bound with 12 to 14 iron rings around her arms or hands, four around her neck, and at least 10 around her legs. Additional iron plates were attached to her torso, giving her the appearance of wearing armor."
A marvelous find that sheds light on Byzantine ascetic practices.

Part of my #Trump plans, though I would have been just to change lifeways anytime in this capitalist mess. I am withdrawing to every reasonable degree. No dining out. I lunch at the grocery store (unless they start demanding 30% tips at checkout, of course.) Carry peanut better. Cans of fish. No restaurants. Picnic instead. Any savings go into our modest house, not into the financial system. Fix old things, spend down resources. Minimize. #asceticism Feed the monster as little as possible.

Great write-up on using a #Thinkpad x61 in 2024.
I have an x61 but it's a bit small for long writing sessions. I prefer my T61 for regular use. If I need something more beefy, it works great as a remote terminal for another machine. I get to keep using the great keyboard and smooth plastics.

@KimPerales I'ma add, economic #asceticism reduce reuse repair postpone anything except the necessary. Savings is going to be critical to a new inflationary period. A barer life is #resistance paying off debt is #resistance if you are in too deep (and who is not?) consider #bankruptcy in the next few years. A period of deep decline is a great time for a fresh debt-free start. You can count on those laws changing to be less favorable to debtors! And libraries and parks are great, wonderful life!

Riddle:
In brightly-colored clothes I went
About till my imprisonment
And subsequent recovery.
A crumbling house bequeathed to me
Along with a small plot of earth
Became my home. All things of worth
And fancy raiment cast aside,
Fair Poverty became my bride.Who am I?
