A quotation from Francis Bacon
Men of age object too much, consult too long, adventure too little, repent too soon, and seldom drive business home to the full period, but content themselves with a mediocrity of success.
Francis Bacon (1561-1626) English philosopher, scientist, author, statesman
Essay (1625 ed.), “Of Youth and Age”More about this quote: wist.info/bacon-francis/85350/

APPARENTLY, I DON’T
HAVE TO FIX EVERYTHING 💎I used to think maturity meant having better thoughts, more spiritually evolved thoughts.
Calmer thoughts. Perhaps even thoughts wearing sensible shoes.
Now I think maturity is realising that most of my thoughts do not require my participation.
A thought appears. The body reacts. The mind begins preparing a full report.
...And I say:
"No comment."
Not because the thought is wrong. It may return. Mine are persistent little buggers.
But every time I consciously stop explaining, defending, predicting, and arguing with what is already happening, peace returns.
That return is a little celebration. The office closes. The body softens.
Nothing outside me may have changed, but the whole world feels different because I am no longer in the battle. I'm no longer fighting with life.
That is the miracle. Not that thought never returns. Just that I can decline the invitation and watch peace return instead.
Again.
And again.
Reality does not need my constant interpretation.
A great relief, really.
I was never particularly good at it anyway.

DEMEA: No one has ever plotted out his life’s plan so successfully that he never faces
New challenges and discoveries brought about by circumstances, the passing of time,
Or experience itself. Inevitably, you discover you don’t know what you thought you did,
And the principles we first formed don’t hold up in the face of everyday practice.
[Nunquam ita quisquam bene subducta ratione ad vitam fuit
Quia res, Ætas usus semper aliquid apportet novi
Aliquid moneat, ut illa, quæ te scire credas, nescias
Et, quæ tibi putaris prima, in experiundo ut repudies.]Terence (186?-159 BC) African-Roman dramatist [Publius Terentius Afer]

RE: https://indieweb.social/@RFPatterson/116909467625611545
Dr #Singh continues:
'...The mid-1970s marked a milestone in the #maturity of our democracy. #Parliament moved away from old #colonial definitions of who “belonged” and established a simple, #fair principle that has stood unchallenged for over 50 years: if you live here permanently, pay #taxes, and contribute to our community for a year, you earn a stake in the democracy.'Before 1975, voting was tied to #archaic #imperial rules requiring you to be a “#British subject.” The 1975 law scrapped this, recognising that long-term residents are a core part of the #Kiwi fabric. By targeting this five-decade-old consensus, NZ First isn’t protecting tradition; they are actively rolling the clock back half a century to shrink our voter base to their advantage. '

Don’t abandon old friends,
because newer ones are not their equals.
New friends are like new wine;
when wine ages,
you will drink it with good cheer.

@neil with so much of it going on there should be at least a couple legit ideas generated, there is a continuum of slop, it is not there yet but it keeps improving, that is the real story and the rate of improvement is a further indictment - local open source ai in particular should help smb sector #maturity

Tón: : mierne negatívny

A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson
To know what you like is the beginning of wisdom and of old age. Youth is wholly experimental. The essence and charm of that unquiet and delightful epoch is ignorance of self as well as ignorance of life. These two unknowns the young man brings together again and again, now in the airiest touch, now with a bitter hug; now with exquisite pleasure, now with cutting pain; but never with indifference, to which he is a total stranger, and never with that near kinsman of indifference, contentment.
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
Essay (1888-09), “A Letter to a Young Gentleman who Proposes to Embrace the Career of Art,” Scribner’s Magazine, Vol. 4, No. 3More about this quote: wist.info/stevenson-robert-lou…

by Kiyoshi Awazu
for me the eye at the top sets this up as maybe some kind of representation of mind or witnessing of something. I like the layers of color, I associate those with layers in the earth's crust, or those geodes that look like that. Steady rhythmic repetition but also flow of wind or water. Lots of different things that happen all at once with this image for me. Solid and stable and aware. I could have this on the wall reminding me how to be. haha

How to (Finally) Grow the F*ck Up
Are people more #immature today than ever before? Is there more #selfishness, #stupidity and #babyrage than prior generations?
In this video, we are going to take a look at how we develop and #mature, what can get in the way of that #maturity, and whether or not there is widespread #narcissistic #childishness happening in #society today.
