This is Manolo. His family wanted to give him the best last day, so they took him to the park with a sign inviting strangers to give him treats. His human said, "This was such a perfect way to celebrate the life of a dog who truly loved spending time with people and their dogs. Run free and fast forever, Manolo. I will never stop missing you." 14/10 for all

Politics aside-REALLY honored to receive this personal note from @POTUS sharing his appreciation and compassion for the loss of our beloved Ben.
I can only hope that Ben knows how many people he touched.

[Kirk Herbstreit @KirkHerbstreit]

Thank you again for all the outpouring of love for our Ben. I can’t tell you how much it means to me and my family.

He wasn’t just my best friend – he was America’s best friend ❤️

All Football Guys go to Heaven RIP Ben the Dog

[Kirk Herbstreit @KirkHerbstreit]

This is really hard to write but so many of you have loved and cared about Ben that I wanted to let you know. We found out today the cancer had spread throughout Bens organs and there was nothing left we could do-we had to let him go. I’ve had dogs my whole life but Ben was 1 on 1. He was smart-loving-gentle-patient-inquisitive-and welcoming to all. Always a big smile and a soft tail wag. He and I could communicate..he and I understood each other and had each others backs. He was with me more than anyone at home and traveling with me for work. Such an easy going companion. Hard day-but he will live within all of us forever. God please bless his majestic soul and thank you for putting him in my life for the last 10 years-a true blessing.
Love you Ben. 🙏🏼

[The Culturist @the_culturist_]

Marcus Aurelius' meditations are among the most influential words ever written.

Two millennia ago, the world's most powerful man spent his evenings alone, journalling his thoughts. He never even meant to publish them, but they're still so relevant:

1. “Think of yourself as dead. You have lived your life. Now take what's left and live it properly.”

2. “Today I escaped from anxiety. Or no, I discarded it, because it was within me, in my own perceptions - not outside.”

3. “Everything that happens is either endurable or not. If it's endurable, then endure it. Stop complaining.”

4. “You don't have to turn this into something. It doesn't have to upset you. Things can't shape our decisions by themselves.”

5. “If it isn't ceasing to live that you're afraid of but never beginning to live properly... then you'll be worthy of the world that made you.”

6. “Stop talking about what the good man is like, and just be one.”

7. “You can also commit injustice by doing nothing.”

8. “The things you think about determine the quality of your mind. Your soul takes on the color of your thoughts.”

9. “Watch the courses of the stars as if you revolved with them. Keep constantly in mind how the elements alter into one another. Thoughts like this wash off the mud of life below.”

10. “At dawn, when you have trouble getting out of bed, tell yourself: "I have to go to work - as a human being. What do I have to complain of, if I'm going to do what I was born for - the things I was brought into the world to do? Or is this what I was created for? To huddle under the blankets and stay warm?"
- But it's nicer here...
So you were born to feel "nice"? Instead of doing things and experiencing them? Don't you see the plants, the birds, the ants and spiders and bees going about their individual tasks, putting the world in order, as best they can? And you're not willing to do your job as a human being? Why aren't you running to do what your nature demands?”

Dearest mother —
I hope my appearance on the magical, moving picture box filled you with joy. As you could see, my resolve has never been more robust. Squirrel oil and your peppered chipmunk feet have kept me sturdy. Life is splendid. Give the cows my best. I love you.

'It is in a man's mind and not his money chest, where he truly becomes rich. Your coffers might be overflowing but as long as I see your soul is empty, I shall never consider you wealthy.'

[Historic Vids @historyinmemes]

Diogenes, the ancient Greek philosopher, was renowned for mocking people. He once sat next to an archer who repeatedly missed the target, claiming it was the safest place to sit. On another occasion, he advised the son of a prostitute, "Careful son, don't hit your father," when the boy threw rocks at a crowd.

When asked for spare change, Diogenes replied, "If I could have persuaded you, I would have persuaded you to hang yourself." He also disliked Socrates and Plato, disrupting their lectures by eating loudly.

Alexander the Great asked Diogenes why he was sifting through garbage, to which he responded, "I am looking for the bones of your father, but I cannot distinguish them from the bones of his slaves."

Diogenes preferred the company of dogs and embraced the label "Diogenes the dog." He stated, "I nuzzle the kind, I bark at the greedy, and I bite the scoundrels," despising human superficiality and hypocrisy.
