Never allow your mind to dwell on your own misconduct: that is ruin. The conscience has morbid sensibilities; it must be employed but not indulged, like the imagination or the stomach.
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
Essay (1880-01/02?), “Reflections and Remarks on Human Life,” § 7.1 “Discipline of Conscience”More about this quote: wist.info/stevenson-robert-lou…

"Details emerge about #horses killed in Russian attack on #Kyiv"
3 #Shahed #drones, aimed on purpose at an #equestrian facility
I've seen the pictures. Heartbreaking. I will spare you
Why kill horses?
#Ukraine aims at oil pipelines and refineries
#Russia aims at hospitals and apartments. And horses
To break Ukraine's will
To spread #despondency, #hopelessness, #cynicism
To aim for the heart
Russia doesn't understand how it backfires
