These kinds of ppl were and are still lacking in wisdom, abundant in slander.

certain people rly know how to flip the narrative best. A so-called “civilization” built on a pseudo-barbaric foundation, and they think they have the right to dictate history. If it weren’t for their toxic influence corrupting local and global cultures, Ziwei wouldn’t have

Heaven meant her as a symbol—restoring what she and those she represents were always owed, but stripped away by that ignorant + malevolent force. Not even all of them combined could compensate for one of hers

Yueh 閱 is “composed of the door 門 from which things issue forth 兑; it means to witness, inspect, or survey the coming out process of things.” This door is the Tao, which here mirrors Janus in Ovid’s Fasti—he who the ancients called chaos, double-faced lord of the threshold.

“Death was not part of nature; it became part of nature. God did not decree death from the beginning; he prescribed it as a remedy. Human life, because of sin ... began to experience the burden of wretchedness in unremitting labour and unbearable sorrow. There had to be a limit to its evils; death had to restore what life had forfeited. Without the assistance of grace, immortality is more of a burden than a blessing”
- Saint Ambrose of Milan, De excessu fratris sui Satyri, II, 47: CSEL 73, 274
