YOUR HEART ON THE LINE

“Ghosts aren’t real” it’s very fair and rational that you believe that

“Ghosts aren’t real anymore” I’m about to hear a poem or very sad story

Cicero for example. His whole thing was being really good at giving speeches and using rhetoric to talk people into a corner. He was also a really good lawyer. Basically every upper class citizen was expected to be a lawyer but he was particularly good at it.

Cato the elder ending all of his speeches with “Carthage must be destroyed” and doing his stunt with dropping figs out of his toga was probably also something like this. Did he actually hate Carthage that much? Maybe. More likely though was that he needed a gimmick.

Pompey’s thing was that he was stupidly good at military command. The guy couldn’t do the political game for shit but he had three triumphs which was basically unheard of.

Caesar’s thing was that he was flamboyant and was willing to spend a lot of money on people. He dressed weird and did stuff that the aristocracy didn’t like but he spent a lot on entertainment and road construction which meant that poor citizens loved him. That doesn’t mean that he liked poor people. It meant that he had a gimmick. His gimmick was that he was dramatic and would spend money on poor people.

Ramadan Mubarak.

What should be a time for the people in Palestine to spend joyfully with their families is still a nightmare. Resources like food, water, and medicine are still scarce and bombs are still falling on children in tents.

If you have the means, please consider donating to my friend Hamza during his and his family’s time of need. They have had such a rough go of life, and could use the help, especially during the holiday. If you can’t donate please consider reblogging — everything is helpful!!
