I'm convinced that everyone should take a big swing at some point in your life and experience what it's like to truly go all in on a meaningful pursuit otherwise they grow bitter with age.
i have read this letter about a hundred times and i have sobbed every single time. love is all there is, all that matters, all that you are supposed to live for and if need be, die for.
The dawn of our post-literate world portends a descent into barbarism. There is no way the short attention spans of shallow morons can sustain complex civilization. Turns out the depth of thought enabled by the privacy of reading is a load-bearing component of society.
I’ve done this drive maybe 20 times, and used to think this very thing. Around the 6th time I was driving north of Oakley Kansas and saw the setting of the sun against the rising of the moon at dusk and was overwhelmed by the beauty. I thought of this line from Blood Meridian (of all things):
“The jagged mountains were pure blue in the dawn and everywhere birds twittered and the sun when it rose caught the moon in the west so that they lay opposed to each other across the earth, the sun whitehot and the moon a pale replica, as if they were the ends of a common bore beyond whose terminal burned worlds past all reckoning”
I’ve since come to realize that there is not a speck of dust on this earth that is not glorious and beautiful, and that all things denote there is a God in heaven.
@lfcclick127@Blahovic Btw what I meant was the mechanism to seek engagement using a tweet online - you can’t monetize that in real life, not the prevalence of ill will. Good day !
With respect to property taxes, it getes worse.
Seniors today are responsible for allowing the cost explosion of education and everything else rolled into property taxes. Now that its expensive, they want to opt out. But it became expensive because their failed stewardship.
🚨NEW: Netherlands manager Ronald Koeman said Arsenal wouldn’t have won the EPL without corners
"That is how Arsenal became champions. Without the corners, they wouldn't have made it."
property tax should be waived for young parents with children and should be doubled for seniors to pay for the schools for the children of those young parents. This is a moderate political position
To understand them better you must know that when our seniors were Zoomer-aged they were actually the richest age demographic in the nation.
Now that they are all retirees they are still the richest age demographic in the nation.
