I've lost my margles

I need to smell fresh herbs and citruses

"God made the people, the people made life" -some 5yo just now

this little girl would tell me all the time about the things her mother would teach her about Hinduism. It was always really lovely and nuanced and profound and to think of the profound impact it could have on someone to be raised with such beautiful, poetic, sustaining perspectives with guiding information and answers. I imagine it would instill such a sense of inner calm in a child. I think religion is good for raising kids............. and by good I mean effective. Or maybe just the word consistent would do. Inconsistency derails kids. But here I am, raised without religion, having many unique consequences of my perspective, both in and out of my perception or awareness, and I think many valuable and in some way good. But I am jealous of religious cultures which offer robust guidance and consistency and answers and a sense of love in the world.

I'm sorry but this out of context conversation is phenomenal it demands to be seen

it’s been said before and it’s not even close to the worst thing but it sucks how our current robber barons are such philistines. like these guys aren’t even building libraries or concert halls. they can’t even pretend to enjoy art, and they don’t see any value in signaling that they appreciate art

this current batch of the fithy-rich is BORING. They're BORING. Oh you have a yacht that's bigger than anybody else's yacht but functionally no different from one of your fancy houses? BORING. You have yet another fast car? YAWN. You ate a burger but like, a special burger? whatever. FUND AN OPERA ABOUT ANOTHER RICH GUY YOU HATE, DIPSHITS. How about you put a concert hall with your name on it in every city in the US and fund their operations for the next decade, if you're so rich????? unless you're too poor to afford that????? How many people do you, personally, directly employ, and what are their salaries? Do you pay well enough to command the loyalty and willing service of any masters of their craft? It would be so easy to win the absolute love and adoration of the masses in this climate but no, they wanna build bunkers and play politics in order to save a few more miserable nickles.
