The Welsh language has such a peculiar hissing sound, i love it. Welsh is one of very few Celtic survivors in today’s world. It is also the inspiration for Tolkien’s Sindarin Elvish language

When a slave was freed in Anglo-Saxon England, the legal ritual often involved placing a weapon, frequently a seax or a spear, into their hands.
By physically giving them the blade, they were being handed their status as a free person under the law.
Do you understand yet?
Balzac was right when he said: When women love us, they forgive us everything, even our crimes.
When they do not love us, they give us credit for nothing, not even our virtues.
You must mythologize yourself and everything in your life.
See your struggles as heroic trials, your victories as divine rewards, your path as a sacred quest.
Turn the ordinary into the extraordinary.
Every man that tries to figure out the world entirely on his own ends up building a small, stupid god to replace the one he rejected. it never fails. he drops God, picks up science or stoicism or some guy on the internet who read enough books to pass for a prophet, and within six months he's talking about cold showers and circadian rhythms with the same exact tone a priest uses on sunday. the need to worship doesn't go anywhere just because you decided you're too smart for it. it just finds smaller things to attach to, and smaller gods make smaller people. nobody quits God. they trade down.
I have never seen an animal commit suicide.
I find it interesting that animals, especially apex predators, don't appear to conceptualize “hopelessness” the way humans do.
Even at the brink of death, they fight, bite, claw, and persist without turning their suffering into despair.
