Everybody wants to be enlightened, nobody wants to do the fucking dishes. the highest thing you can be as a human being is not the thing you understood, it's the thing you did. some guy who can't spell his own name right but built a house with his two hands that actually stands is closer to God than any man who read a thousand books and never moved his thumb for anyone else. not because he prayed because he made a thing exist that didn't exist before, and that's what God did, and that's all anybody is asking you to do
The world is getting worse and i don't think it's going to stop. and the honest truth is, most people who tell you to fight back are also losing. the only person i've ever watched actually keep their mind through something terrible was a quiet woman who never talked about strength once. she just did normal things with frightening consistency. she waked up early, she made food, she cleaned her place, she talked to people like they mattered, even when she knew how bad it was. maybe especially because she knew how bad it was. and it shamed me, because i was out there talking about the darkness, thinking that made me useful. and she was just quietly not letting it into her kitchen
Men used to make vows. they promised to love someone until death and meant it. they named children after gods they hoped the child would live to honor. they stood at graves and swore revenge over sacred bread. at some point the vow died. we all decided quietly that meaning what you say was too much to ask
So many people don’t want to have kids. Do you know how much you have to abuse a mammal to the point it doesn’t want to reproduce? Never happens in Nature.
@c0mpmilano He literally walked while being subbed off in a crucial game while we were losing and people still protect him. It's ok to have a bad match, It's never ok to have this type of behaviour.
I used to know the name of every player, in every team. Now, on the rare occasion I watch CL football, I know hardly anyone. I never thought I'd get this old/uninterested in football.
Me: Don't jump in the hole.
Wife: I'm jumping in the hole.
Me: Don't jump in the hole.
[Jumps into hole]
Wife: Oh no! I'm in a hole.
Me: I told you not to jump in the hole.
Wife: Why can't you just be empathetic and listen to me vent while I'm going through this hardship?
The sacred is not in the mountain it is in the woman who packed your lunch every day for twelve years without once calling it love but it was it was always it was so fiercely love that no language could carry it without breaking and she knew that so she put it in bread instead and you ate it and now its inside you forever doing its work in the dark where no priest can reach it and no prayer can name it and that is why it survived because the things that survive are the things that hid themselves in love so ordinary that nobody thought to worship it and so nobody thought to destroy it
