it’s called “life.” You walk to the store. Maybe you see someone you know on the way. You find a dollar on the ground. The sun shines on your face. You are participating in the world.
The Pope is a great example of the idea that cruelty is actually dumb and that kindness and openness come from intelligence. A great juxtaposition to the (techno)fascists of our time. It takes a mind to create a better world, it takes zero to destroy it.
here's the thing about DENR (& all politicians in general): they're not dumb for doing any of the evil things they do. they fully KNOW what they're doing but they do it anyway because it would lead to the accumulation of profit. they simply have no regard for people or the planet

Just live day by day. It's like driving at night. You only need to see as far as your headlights reach. You don't have to spot your final destination from the start. Keep going with what's lit in front of you, and the rest will come as you move. You're seriously underestimating the universe's ability to surprise you and turn things in your favor. But that only happens if you stop overwhelming yourself by trying to figure out your entire life all at once.

Watching these people review "chicken inasal" as experts, yet can't properly pronounce "paa". 🤷
Sorry, old pet peeve, and I really can't let go of this.
Its genuinely insane how many people from certain countries will be like "oh yeah we had our driver take us to the market" and "our maid got injured so we fired her" like its completely normal to have economic serfs do you bidding
i really do love complimenting ppl and i hope ppl are adult enough to know that every compliment isnt rooted in desire or lust like sometimes ppl just want to let you know youre beautiful and that be all
