Nature does not ask your permission, she has nothing to do with your wishes, and whether you like her laws or dislike them, you are bound to accept her as she is, and consequently all her conclusions. A wall, you see, is a wall ...

With people who know how to revenge themselves and to stand up for themselves in general, how is it done? Why, when they are possessed, let us suppose, by the feeling of revenge, then for the time there is nothing else but that feeling left in their whole being.

@Mwaniki7525 it gets better.
hang in son!

[Opia @tastefulArbor]

I know better than anyone that by all this I am only injuring myself and no one else. But still, if I don’t consult a doctor it is from spite. My liver is bad, well—let it get worse!

I have been going on like that for a long time—twenty years. Now I am forty.

[Opia @tastefulArbor]

I am a sick man.... I am a spiteful man. I am an unattractive man. I believe my liver is diseased. However, I know nothing at all about my disease, and do not know for certain what ails me. I don’t consult a doctor for it, and never have, though I have a respect for medicine

Open the museums at night and serve wine, play classical and jazz music and let the adults to have a night out that isn’t in a club.

Somewhere between the exhale and the next thought, I realize the saddest part isn’t the pain. It’s how familiar it has become. I am not broken tonight. I am simply… tired of pretending I am whole.

Thus it can easily happen that, many years or generations afterwards, old ideas or methods are revived under a new form and with new means and appliances. Each era has its own style of waging war.

[Opia @tastefulArbor]

New ideas are born, new methods invented and new resources discovered whilst the old ones fall away, generally slowly but sometimes quite quickly, into the limbo of the past.

Nothing on earth is stable; everything is in a state of constant flux. All theories, systems and techniques, even life itself, are being continually subjected to modifying influences.

When someone says “that’s not the person I know,” they’re often describing a real difference in experienced reality, not just being dramatic.
The person can be consistent. The observers rarely are.That’s the Rashomon effect in the wild.

[Opia @tastefulArbor]

This reaction is a perfect real-time example of the Rashomon effect.

The Rashomon effect (named after Kurosawa’s film) is when different people experience or describe the same person or event in contradictory ways & all of them are being sincere. Same human. Different versions

Results za polling station zimepatana na za constituency na ni kama kuna disrespancy🤣

[Opia @tastefulArbor]

The internal model each of us builds is another. Classic Rashomon territory: Same events, same individual, multiple coherent but conflicting narratives depending on the observer’s position, history, and filters.
