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
We are no longer seen as human beings with free spirits and creative thought, who love, work and build. We are now data. Statistics. Graphs. Pie charts. Profit margins. Experiments. Reports. Markets. Files.
one of the quotes i find most inspiring on a hard day:
"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom"
Ecclesiastes 9:10
When I say modern-day dating has become miserable and is more of a humiliation ritual than love, this is what I mean.
Look at her texts and the misery in her life. she tried to put in her best effort and wanted to talk to him, but instead, she became meme material on the internet because he wanted some likes and validation.
