What are you proud of?

Rojie asks:

What are you proud of?

What am I proud of, huh? What about that whole pride going before a fall thing? I might not be full of faith, but I can make up for it in superstition. So if not what I’m proud of, then what do I talk about now?

The things I’m not proud of? No, too easy.

I’ve known some prideful and boastful people in my life and you know what? I don’t know that any of them were overly interesting people. Or caring and compassionate people. How can you be a caring person if all you talk about is yourself? I think we’re all somewhat guilty of talking about ourselves though. It’s natural, it’s what we know well, and it’s also a pretty safe topic if you’re not a great conversationalist, but at some point doesn’t the other person, the other half of the conversation sitting over there, become interested in something else?

Wouldn’t conversations be a lot simpler if we all had telepathy and could just read other’s thoughts instead of talking to them?

I found three old flash drives today and spent some time looking at stuff I had saved. I was surprised to find a folder filled with a bunch of things I’d written going back to 2010. There was a story I’d written about my grandfather who died when he was 78-years-old and that was sad. I also found a lot of poems I’d written and one of them was a poem I wrote on my birthday. I remember sharing it at the time in an online writing group and I remember everyone telling me – very nicely, all of them – how it didn’t make sense and it was confusing and other stuff I didn’t care to read. It made sense to me back then and it still made sense to me today but I can see why it failed. I’m thinking with some work I can maybe make it make sense to others? We’ll see.

I also found a bunch of pictures on one of the flash drives and that was pretty cool. I’ve really changed a lot in the last 16 years. I wonder what I’ll look like at 78?

"There is a simple way to become a #Buddha: When you refrain from unwholesome actions, are not attached to birth and death, and are #compassionate toward all sentient beings, respectful to seniors and kind to juniors, not excluding or desiring anything, with no thoughts or worries, you will be called a Buddha. Seek nothing else."

Jesus: “Be you #compassionate as your Creator in heaven is compassionate.” Science is rediscovering mystics' wisdom on the priority of #compassion & #interdependence. Hildegard: “Everything in the heavens, on the earth, & under the earth is penetrated w/connectedness (&) relatedness.” https://bit.ly/4agB15U

It hits me time after time that probably the most #thoughtful, #compassionate and #sane #socialmedia threads can be found in the #youtube commentaries under #music clips.

The experience is definitly bether when using #newpipe app as a youtube player though.

An english translation of the commentary in the picture can be found as alttext. Original is en #castellano

I am saddened to learn that #YES! Media is closing operations next month, ending 30 years of inspiring people to build a more just, #sustainable, and #compassionate world with "rigorous reporting on the positive ways communities are responding to social problems and insightful commentary that sparks constructive discourse". They will be missed.

#Americans still believe they live in a #compassionate country, report shows

𝗪𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 #𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 - not sensation, not emotionalism, but the feeling of being really #kind, of being really #gentle, #compassionate. Do we know what it is to be really compassionate - not in order to get to heaven, but compassionate in the sense of not wanting anything for oneself?
