> During the weekend, only on Saturday and Sunday, there were 230 traffic violations, plus 200+ other (various) law violations in our city. That's 430+ registered violations in two days. Add to it some 100 unregistered violations and then you have chaos. Too much for such a small city.

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

 

Macbeth Act 5, Scene 5

So you can look through it before opening the door? To let some light in?

What happened to the first two lines from Macbeth? 🙂

 

She should have died hereafter.

It is a peep hole to look at peeple. As for why it is heart shaped I'm pretty sure we all know what is going on behind that closed door.

What am I thinking?! I think I'm very tired of this life. I even had a renewed desire to commit suicide. I probably need to go on some kind of trip, but I can’t do that at the moment for a number of reasons. Also, I'm a little confused with my desires. I seem to want to see the person I love very much, but at the same moment I know that nothing good will come from this meeting. Too many years have passed, although both of us have hardly changed in our standards of life, he still sleeps with everyone... which naturally again will not be very pleasant for me. Listening to lies about her feelings for me and pretending that I believe. For what?! It is probably better to love quietly and alone than to be humiliated by lies. It’s better to just remember your love for him and sometimes smile at some pleasant memories for me.

Not a clue to be honest. I came across the quote somewhere on my travels and it piqued my interest. Shakespeare's not my thing, I know him mostly via Hermetic philosophy and Sufism.

 

When I saw "Act 5, Scene 5" my immediate reaction was to add a mental "(AET) Game has gone to penalties." 🙄

[Grey Cloud]

Ontology.

 

To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, ’tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there’s the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there’s the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law’s delay,
The insolence of office and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover’d country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action.–Soft you now!
The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my sins remember’d.

Big win for the Acts.

 

 

The Four Noble Truths:

 

dukkha ('not being at ease', "suffering," from dush-stha, "standing unstable," is an innate characteristic of the perpetual cycle (samsara, lit. 'wandering') of grasping at things, ideas and habits

 

samudaya (origin, arising, combination; "cause"): there is dukkha (unease, disbalance) when there is, or it arises simultaneously with, taṇhā ("craving," "desire" or "attachment," lit. 'thirst').

 

nirodha (cessation, ending, confinement): dukkha can be ended or contained by the confinement or letting go of this taṇhā

 

marga (path, Noble Eightfold Path) is the path leading to the confinement of tanha and dukkha.

This is a decorative piece not meant for real use. Probably a parade item meant for Decoration/Display only. If it were real, it would be a bit larger and have a Crescent moon cut in the door and it definitely would not have been moved around after usage.

Oh and the heart shaped hole is to throw matches in before or after the fact...

> Please don't do anything foolish/rash.. You'll give the devil an easy win if you do this! Each of us has lost a loved one in some way. Think that your life is meaningful to someone, that you can make good use of it!

 

There are so many options to find the meaning of life again.. Have you ever thought about doing charity work for a municipal social welfare center or animal shelter as a volunteer?

Spoiler

Who knows, maybe that's where you'll meet your other half.

Tomorrow is Fat Thursday, which I call the Day of the Glutton.. Have some doughnuts, drink coffee and think seriously about what I've said you here. 

 

P.S.
My apologize to everyone that despite saying goodbye, my fingers gave a show in this thread again.

It's mostly a thought I have when I notice that I'm the only single adult at family gatherings. Every relative in my age group is married and having kids except for me, so I tend to get in my own head about it. A few of my friends are single too, though, so I try not to worry about it too much. I usually give people a "don't worry about it" or "when I feel like it" type of response when people ask.

Also, I haven't actually bought myself a Valentine's Day candy assortment in years because it's too much sugar lol. I can't even eat sweets anymore, really. I always feel like puking afterwards. Also, I'm in my gym bro era, so that kinda shit just fucks with my goals anyway.

 

Giga based. I'm a workout nut myself so i totally get the mindset (calisthenics with some weight stuff on the side). I don't have much of a sweet tooth either so i also start feeling kinda sick when i eat more than 2 or 3 really sweet things. Usually not a problem if there's an additional flavor to it like honey tho. Good luck on the training bruh.
