Forko

Divider of Truth from Falsehood

[Forko @VForko]

The past is gone, and the future will never arrive.

Right now,
Right here,
In this very moment is all that counts.

[Forko @VForko]

@L17932 People confuse
“this position can worsen certain conditions” with “this position is bad.”

There is no universally bad sleeping position.

Side or back sleeping generally work best for most people.

Back sleeper? Pillow under the knees.

Side sleeper? Pillow between the knees.

@T_Gofficial01 Be careful not to reduce every relationship to an exchange of interests.

Some of the greatest bonds are revealed when there is nothing left to gain from one another.

But he is right about this:

Love people deeply without demanding permanence from them.

[Forko @VForko]

@ML_Philosophy No.

Knowing that death awaits me is useful.

Knowing WHEN would only tempt me to count the days instead of live them.

@PleasantAndEvil Some lessons are understood only after life makes you their subject.

[Forko @VForko]

Go alone and you may move faster.

Go together and you may move further.

[Forko @VForko]

@Naturalphilosy Perhaps every man dreams of power.

Intelligence is realizing that ruling others is the lesser conquest.

The harder empire to govern is oneself.

[Forko @VForko]

@Whohewas0 Perhaps it is your loss.

A long list of virtues does not make one incapable of being wrong.

Beware when self-respect becomes a shield against self-reflection.

[Forko @VForko]

@DearS_o_n Poverty attacks a man’s circumstances.

A bad wife attacks his peace.

A man can endure an empty house far longer than a home he dreads returning to.

[Forko @VForko]

@theralkia The opiate of the masses is no longer one belief or substance.

It is distraction.

An endless supply of things that make a man comfortable enough to tolerate a life he would otherwise be compelled to change.

[Forko @VForko]

@Dearme2_ Silence alone is not wisdom.

Wisdom is knowing when your words serve a purpose vs when they merely serve your ego.

[Forko @VForko]

@_theorycel The great mind does not require the world to arrange itself around his appetites.

If desire can pull you from your purpose, perhaps desire is your master.

[Forko @VForko]

@WordsnWisdom26 No man can diminish you by his words.

If what he says is false, it changes nothing.

If it is true, you have been given something to correct.

[Forko @VForko]

@young_naeto A wise man has no need to correct another’s estimation of him.

Let them underestimate you.

Your concern is what you are, not what they believe you to be.

[Forko @VForko]

The pleasure that drugs, alcohol, and other vices give us today is not without its cost.

It is borrowed from tomorrow.

…and tomorrow always collects its debts.

Every moment of borrowed peace leaves something behind to be paid in emptiness, anguish, or regret.

There are no free pleasures.

Only debts whose prices have not yet been revealed.

So then choose which pain you would rather endure:

The discipline of refusal,
or the suffering of repayment?

[Forko @VForko]

Build your life.
Master yourself.
Guard your family.

Friends may share your path, but 1 by 1 the road takes them elsewhere.
Do not resent their departure.

Know where you are going, and company becomes a gift - not a necessity.

Let no mans absence become a barrier to your path.

[Forko @VForko]

The World After You:

1 Hour: Those you loved feel your absence.
1 Day: Life carries on.
1 Week: The work you began continues.
1 Month: What you owned serves another.
1 Year: What you gave remains in others.

Nothing was yours to keep.
Only yours to care for while you were here.

[Forko @VForko]

Take care of what is small while it is still small.

Clutter. Debt. Illness.

What is neglected rarely remains unchanged. Time enlarges what we refuse to address.

Do not postpone what can be resolved.
