“Letting go of anger is hard. Forgiveness is even harder” -No, I’m not a human

Anger, even virtuous, is a consuming fire. When it roars, can everything be forgiven? Unlikely, not everything can and should be forgiven. Yet letting go of the smaller trifles opens room for what's really important.

"Every failure is better than the last."

Just heard that one from Ambiguous Amphibian's lastest video. Worth sharing!

Taking life advices from tiny 2D-sprite people.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

Bro you can’t give up. You were born in a world that has onions AND garlic. You gotta hang in there it's worth it

Some people say, “living well is the best revenge.” But, it also happens to be a great way to not waste your time being concerned about getting revenge.

"What matters is the principle. The code you live by that defines who you are. It shows you the way home and puts you back together again", Silverhand, Cyberpunk 2077

Virtues like kindness or honesty can be used to guide our choices when in doubt! They are better used as ends rather than means.

"Of course, you are you, and no one else. We are defined not by the soul we are born with, but the path we walk." - Seto, Final Fantasy XIV

Existentialism in a nutshell! Despite our roots, we are (mostly) free to walk our desired direction. Free to choose that direction, let us make it for good! 😄

Speak up for those who can’t but want to.

Sometimes we may reduce ourselves sometimes to the issues we bring to our friends. Yet we are not a problem to be endured or solved, we are an entire being to be experienced.

You are more than your traumas.

"𝑉𝑎𝑙𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑖𝑠 𝑓𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑤𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑠 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑖𝑛𝑓𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑡, 𝑏𝑢𝑡 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑙𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑠 𝑦𝑜𝑢'𝑣𝑒 𝑏𝑒𝑡𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑑" - 𝑊𝑦𝑙𝑙, 𝐵𝑎𝑙𝑑𝑢𝑟'𝑠 𝐺𝑎𝑡𝑒 3

It's hard to stay good-hearted nowadays. Yet as those who do are rarer, we have to hold onto it. Doesn't have to be much too. Bettering other's lives can be done in small ways, like a smile! 😁

That moment you feel inspired to do something, but you are driving - and you know you won't inspired anymore when you get back home :D

"𝐵𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑒𝑣𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑖𝑛 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑓𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑒𝑚𝑏𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑏𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑒𝑓 𝑏𝑦 𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑔𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑓𝑎𝑖𝑙𝑢𝑟𝑒." - 𝐾𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝐼𝑔𝑜𝑠 𝑑𝑢 𝐼𝑘𝑎𝑛𝑎, 𝑀𝑎𝑗𝑜𝑟𝑎'𝑠 𝑀𝑎𝑠𝑘

Forgiving means travelling through anger and pain to extend love, trust to the one that hurt us. It is a concious yet complex choice to be made, freeing us from dwelling on the past.

We shouldn't wait to create an idea because we feel that less than perfect is not worth. Bringing any idea to life feeds our inspiration, makes us better at our craft!

By meeting others with the intend of learning from them, we challenge our worldviews. Each of us brings a new perspective, and considering others' may teach us something we never suspected about the world!

"𝑇ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑛𝑜 𝑐𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑛 ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑠. 𝐵𝑢𝑡 𝑖𝑡 𝑖𝑠 𝑖𝑚𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑡 ℎ𝑜𝑤 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑦 𝑏𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒 𝑑𝑖𝑟𝑡𝑦" - 𝑇𝑎𝑘𝑒𝑚𝑢𝑟𝑎, 𝐶𝑦𝑏𝑒𝑟𝑝𝑢𝑛𝑘 2077

All of us have committed some dubious acts. Yet sometimes we have to to uphold higher principles and virtues. Morality is really tricky! If you have to dirty your hands, do it for the good of others!

“𝐼𝑔𝑛𝑜𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑏𝑒𝑔𝑒𝑡𝑠 𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑓𝑒. 𝑈𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑏𝑒𝑔𝑒𝑡𝑠 𝑓𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑝.” - 𝐺𝑢𝑙𝑜𝑜𝑙 𝐽𝑎 𝐽𝑎, 𝐹𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝐹𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑠𝑦 𝑋𝐼𝑉 𝐷𝑎𝑤𝑛𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑖𝑙

Each of us has vivid inner world. And yet we tend to simplify others unconsciously. By keeping this complixity in mind when interacting with others, we make them feel understood, cared about!

"𝐹𝑜𝑟 𝑖𝑡 𝑖𝑠 𝑜𝑛𝑙𝑦 𝑏𝑦 𝑓𝑎𝑛𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑘 𝑜𝑓 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑑𝑒 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛 𝑢𝑠, 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑤𝑒 𝑐𝑎𝑛 ℎ𝑜𝑝𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑖𝑔𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑓𝑙𝑎𝑚𝑒𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑖𝑛 𝑎𝑛𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟" - 𝑀𝑢𝑘'𝑡𝑢𝑘, 𝑃𝑜𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑜𝑚𝑖𝑐𝑠

While Muk'tuk talks about art creation, this holds true for hope too! We need to cultivate inner hope so spread it! How? We'll seek together, in games! 😁
