Things are neither so grievous nor so difficult in themselves, but our weakness and cowardice make them so.
[Les choses ne sont pas si douloureuses, ny difficiles d’elles mesmes: mais nostre foiblesse & lascheté les fait telles.]Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist
Essays, Book 1, ch. 14 (1.14), “The Taste of Good and Bad Things Depends Mostly on the Opinion We Have of Them [Que le goust des biens et des maux despend en bonne partie de l’opinion que nous en avons]” (1572) [tr. Ives (1925)]More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/montaigne-michel-de/…

If we only wanted to be happy, it would be easy; but we want to be happier than other people, which is almost always difficult, since we think them happier than they are.
[Si on ne vouloit qu’être heureux, cela seroit bientôt fait; mais on veut être plus heureux que les autres; et cela est presque toujours difficile, parce que nous croyons les autres plus heureux qu’ils ne sont.]Charles-Lewis de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu (1689-1755) French political philosopher
Pensées Diverses [Assorted Thoughts], # 978 / 1003 (1720-1755)More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/montesquieu/2896/

The Irony of Being Single
Me: "I'm feeling sad and lonely that I'm single! No one wants me!"
Also, me:
Year 2013: Someone liked me, and friends helped her to let me know, but I rejected her.
Year 2019: Someone who had a crush on me sat beside me, but I left that place. Of course, she was hurt by this, which made her stop trying anymore.
Year 2020: I and someone were best friends; then she expressed her interest with more effort than past women who had a crush on me. But why did I frequently reject her and break up with her? It took me a lifetime to learn the lessons and feel the heartbreak because of my decisions.
Year 2020: But with a different partner: Instant online relationships. I felt like she had a crush on me earlier than I realised. But despite her sincere expressions of love towards me, why did I break up then decide to be together and break up again? Maybe I am afraid of closeness.
Another year 2020:
• Many online peers; some chose me as an option because their relationships were going to fail, but I didn't recognise the liking. She expressed: "You have me? What do you mean?" then she slowly faded from my sight.
• Gaming partners: There were three different partners who chose me to have fun together in different times. One of them I broke up with days later; she faded away from me slowly. Even though I saw her real Instagram account, which was very human. The second one I broke up with; she just disappeared and never messaged me again. The third one: a day after I broke up with her, she told her audience that I hurt her. Then, she just left the scene, and I haven't seen her in the video game again.Year 2022 (if this is correct): I had an instant attraction to someone, and I messaged her: "💖" — she was surprised. Many other group chat members seemed jealous and even created false stories that she cheated. I asked her: "Kau minat aku ke?" (Are you interested in me?) but received no clear, direct answer from her. She messaged me many times personally, but I didn't reply; I felt blurry or foggy at that time. Then I replied: "Kau sendiri tak cakap kau minat aku, dan agama kita tak sama." (You yourself didn't say you liked me, and our religions are different.) She told me to clarify: "Just because I didn't admit I like or am interested in you, it doesn't literally or truly mean I didn't like or am interested in you." Days later, she then found my mistakes online and used it to justify blocking me.
Pushing people away made me single, but reflecting on these patterns helps me learn and grow.

A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages. Yet he dismisses without notice his thought, because it is his.
In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts; they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty. Great works of art have no more affecting lesson for us than this. They teach us to abide by our spontaneous impression with good-humored inflexibility then most when the whole cry of voices is on the other side. Else to-morrow a stranger will say with masterly good sense precisely what we have thought and felt all the time, and we shall be forced to take with shame our own opinion from another.Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) American essayist, lecturer, poet

A quotation from Samuel Johnson
But when thoughts and words are collected and adjusted, and the whole composition at last concluded, it seldom gratifies the author, when he comes coolly and deliberately to review it, with the hopes which had been excited in the fury of the performance: novelty always captivates the mind; as our thoughts rise fresh upon us, we readily believe them just and original, which, when the pleasure of production is over, we find to be mean and common, or borrowed from the works of others, and supplied by memory rather than invention.
Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic

“We are hacking our own operating systems, and marketers have very quickly discovered how to exploit our impulsivity. Procrastination is on the rise because there’s a trillion-dollar industry to get us to indulge in these smaller sooner temptations at the cost of our larger later dreams.”

“It you have to trick someone into supporting progressive legislation that would benefit them because if you told them the truth outright they’d oppose it because they prefer to align themselves with politics, politicians, and ideologies that won’t necessarily benefit them but explicitly harm others…it’s proof that they are both a bigot and an idiot, which is a lethal combination.”

Why did I wake three hours before my alarm this morning?
Just spending the day being a total zombie. My brain is probably the consistency of a thick, lumpy soup judging by how bleeerrrrggghhhh I feel.
Should really go & get me back to bed for a couple of hours now that I'm full of lunch & slowly- rapidly winding down -

For the record, I voted for Harris.
I've voted dem my while life, which has been quite a while now. I've always wanted a more progressive party to vote for who had a chance but alas.
"I have a Glock." It was at this moment that my heart stopped. You can call it centrist but its hard for me to not see today's dem party as a traditional republican one. The people with (R) next to their names are extremists.
"The economy is great!" My family is 2 working professionals and very minimal expenses. We are barely living beyond check to check in the richest country in the world.
I've put 25 years into my current career and there is a pretty good chance it will evaporate some time not far off from now. Social work in this country is punishing already. With the chaos to come...

For the record, I voted for Harris.
Although I agree that there were many reasons Trump won, I do believe a big one is the general dissatisfaction that we collective have with our institutions. So it was natural for people to vote for the guy who said he was going to blow it up.
In my work I interface with a variety of govt agencies - federal, state, county, local - and while some are better than others, they all suck. Most of the people in these places serve the internal factors of their workplace and workplace personalities. To the point that they at times, literally working counter to the purpose of their agency. I do not blame (most of) them personally because they are doing what they are told and surviving the job they have.
The chaos to come will be a lot, massively worse but I get the desire to smash some shit up. You get mad, you punch the wall. Now you have a broken hand.

You spend 3 seasons building an ensemble cast.
By season 4's second episode you've dispensed with 7 of 10 central characters.
This drama isn't going to have a season 5, is it.
