It is within the unknown that discovery is born. Every great civilization once stood where you stand now, uncertain of tomorrow yet full of possibility.
Those who fear the unknown become prisoners of the familiar.
Pregnancy is a strange prophecy.
You spend nine months wondering who is coming and eventually discover that the mysterious creature has been living inside you all along.
They call it a miracle.
I call it the longest surprise party ever planned and you’re the venue.
@AntiWokeMemes "Dogs are loyal companions to ward off spirits. An angel is a very dangerous creature. With blinding radiance and unwilling obedience."
So, technically it's correct. Just from a different point of view.
@elonmusk Of all the places I've been nobody ever asked me to tick a representation box. Though, to be fair, I've been bisexual before breakfast at least three times. So, I'm thinking where can I put a gay character in. It already has one. His name: The editor.
People see a pale face, a shiny head, and suddenly I'm a ghost, a vampire, or something that crawled out of a crypt. Honestly, I've visited Somalian warlords where there is the most heartless of brutal people reside and they were far less judgmental.
I've escaped African stampedes, carnivorous apes, and once spent three weeks arguing with a kettle. Buried alive? I'd like to say that's new but I've dug up archaeological remains of myself. Unsettling but also cool. It even has the same dent in my regio carpalis sinistra.
@WhiteHouse@VP This is a betrayal of the national community and should be punished severely. Lets all take property from political opponents, draw out immigrants bank accounts, loot from Mexico and Canada and put forced labour to advance America. Anything less is weakness and deception.
Money is obedient. It sits where you leave it. Influence however is far less civilized. It wanders into rooms before you do, shakes hands in your name, and convinces strangers they arrived at your conclusion on their own.
If being a mogul means gathering wealth, then gather it wisely. If it means gathering power, remember power is only borrowed. But if it means gathering people who trust you... now that's the rarest fortune in the universe.
People ask me what I do for a living. An odd question. I've lived long enough to discover that a living is something one does regardless of employment.
I've been a shepherd, a librarian, a lighthouse keeper, a janitor, a Queen for eleven minutes one time.
Humans are extraordinary, you know. You'll cross galaxies to find adventure in a television program then spend forty years clocking in and out of the same building. Not because you lack imagination but because someone has to keep the lights on, bake the bread and drive the buses.
I played the most strangest card stacker game that was about my exact circumstances and how I ended up exactly where I am today. It was strangely accurate. Now it's been de-listed and no longer available. Strange.
