@JoshuaLisec Watch out! If you share the taxidermists' secrets they might taxidermize you.

Stoner by John Williams was a masterpiece. Every sentence reads like it was crafted with care and skill. It tells the story of an ordinary man, but pulls you into his story so deeply that every minor thing that happens in his life seems extraordinary. I came away from the book with a reverence and awe for the beauty of an ordinary life.

@BowTiedBull Wait, you're saying that every single piece of advice posted online isn't meant specifically for me? Crazy.

@creation247 Imagine being so dead inside that, not only do you genetically test and execute your child, but then proceed to post about it for engagement.

@Pat_Stedman 100 years ago it was fashionable for women to become 'flappers'. Then we had the Great Depression, then WWII. History doesn't repeat but it rhymes.

I wanted a thousand things in my life, and most of them i didn't get. and i looked at myself the way this post is asking me to, and thought i wasn't smart enough. but years passed, and i started seeing what each of those things would have done to me if i had gotten them, and every single one would have destroyed me - some fast and some slow. everything i didn't get turned out to be the smartest thing that happened to me, but it was not my smartness. it was something else deciding on my behalf, because i was not smart enough to decide for myself. sometimes not getting what you want is the only proof that something out there loves you more than you were ever capable of loving yourself

Hot take: If you're not getting what you want, you're not as smart as you think you are.

@creation247 Live in the real world, not a simulated one. I've enjoyed gaming in the past, but they don't hook me like they used to. The most popular games manipulate your dopamine system to trick you into thinking you're having fun. You should get dopamine from actual accomplishments.

@sola_chad This world is so evil. I've seen what they celebrate. I don't want their applause. If I have recognition and approval from the world, I am doing something wrong.

@Cernovich Who would want to be in this world forever? Look at the 90-year-olds in Congress, what's the point of trying to run the country when you're at death's door? People trying to live forever sometimes know what they have in store and don't want it. I don't blame them.

@texasrunnerDFW @CryptoMikli One of them became the fastest over-50 marathoner in the world. Ken Rideout's book was great.

@writeawareness The hardest lesson is that comfort and happiness are not the same thing. A comfortable life can still leave a man empty, while suffering can become the very thing God uses to make him whole.

There was a 40 year period in history when samurai, pirates, and cowboys all technically existed at the same time.

@TimelessTrvlr Indeed. "Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." - James 1:2-4

I chased everything the world promised would lead to happiness. Wealth, success, pleasure. The more I pursued it, the less I had. Then I opened The Confessions of Saint Augustine, and one quote shattered my view of happiness:

@creation247 Been reading Nichomachean Ethics lately. Aristotle's systematic, logical way of thinking is astounding. I'm learning a lot so far.

@njissawrites Facts are interesting, but stories reach into your mind and rewire your subconscious. They are an opportunity to see the world from another point of view. Tolstoy had some great short stories, like 'The Three Questions'. I won't spoil it, just read it!
