The beautiful thing about dogs is if you give them love they will return it; their love is uncomplicated. But some humans withhold love out of their wickedness and need to control others. A dog can do wonders in this situation.

Saying "everyone hates their job" is playing around with a serious matter. And it's spreading cynical attitudes which do harm to other people. Gross.

When you see someone look at you compassionately, you learn to mirror that facial expression. You can then use it to soothe yourself when you see it in any reflective surface.

So many ills come from "heightened consciousness," as Dostoevsky put it. The moment I become conscious of swallowing, I choke on my food.

You don't have to be perfect to deserve love.
You deserve to be comforted in difficult moments.

Atheism is the will to mental disorder. Public atheism is teaching others to harm themselves. But don't look to religion for help; find the gods within yourself: take your dreams seriously. #philsky #psychscisky

Self-knowledge is really a series of ego-wounds, which is why the oracle also said "everything in moderation"

You so called "philosophers," is politics all you care about? Is that what they teach you? To be just as boring as everyone else? Have you nothing to say about reality? About what really matters? Or are you simply business people in disguise? Who can't stand to talk about work after hours? #philsky

We all have the potentiality to discover our own Gods. Socrates is the model. It will be your very own Rorschach test, and you may truly come to "know yourself."

Your anima has a need for spirituality that must be respected. If not, she will continually sabotage you, and happiness will elude you. Socrates was a spiritual man, if not a religious one. He took both dreams and oracles seriously. And so he was guided at the last by the "woman in white."

I went and got an I Ching reading, belief inventory, and tarot reading. After further thought, I discovered a big insight into my past. The collective unconscious has much to teach us about ourselves.

As a philosopher, I can confirm. This also happens across cultures. For example, much of Japanese Confucianism was this but for whatever emperor they claimed to support. And don’t even get me started on India.
This is painfully true. Every era elevates some numbnuts who insists our current system is simply the natural way of things. Easy money.

Wittgenstein was dying of cancer, and his friends (including GEM Anscombe) came too late to say goodbye as he had already fallen into a coma and died shortly after.
But he relayed this message to them, "Tell them I've had a wonderful life."

Yes, this is key. It’s also an attempt to control the definition, not ONLY in order to label any support of Palestinians as “antisemitic” but ALSO to EXCLUDE right wing antisemitism from that definition.
