I get it. re-orient, focus on what's important. wear many hats and you'll do many things. just don't forget to sleep every once in a while. the more you can do in a life the more valued it becomes, so do the right thing and keep getting better. human lives are measured not in bodyweight, but in mystery. The divine can't understand benevolence, nor can the devils understand the desire to inflict suffering. So they ponder and pontificate as they watch humans wander and magnificate. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────┘ --- #6 fediverse/2090 --- ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────── don't feed bread to birds, it absorbs their stomach acid and expands in their tummy and makes them feel full when they're not.
