Ist Freundschaft nicht eine vollwertige Beziehung, bloß ohne das körperliche halt, oder gibt es da einfach Abstufungen? Ist es ein fluides Spektrum irgendwo zwischen zufälligem Treffen, Bekanntschaft und bestem Freund dem ich meine dunkelsten Geheimnisse anvertraue? Natürlich ist es das. Freundschaften muss man gar nicht unbedingt genau definieren, entweder sie gibt einem ein positives […]

All the bad things that happen are everyone’s fault.

The consequences are distributed unevenly.

People wielding power tend to hoard the the larger evils: betrayal, cruelty, greed, abuse.

The weak gather smaller ones: foolishness, vanity, laziness.

The strange part: when people in the first group hold #power, just being useless starts to look like the morally correct position.

A quotation from Montaigne

We readily acknowledge in others an advantage in courage, in bodily strength, in experience, in agility, in beauty; but an advantage in judgment we yield to no one. And the arguments that come from simple natural reasoning in others, we think we would have found if we had merely glanced in that direction.
 
[Nous reconnoissons aysément és autres, l’advantage du courage, de la force corporelle, de l’experience, de la disposition, de la beauté: mais l’advantage du jugement; nous ne le cedons à personne: Et les raisons qui partent du simple discours naturel en autruy, il nous semble qu’il n’a tenu qu’à regarder de ce costé-là, que nous ne les ayons trouvees.]

Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist
Essays, Book 2, ch. 17 (2.17), “Of Presumption [De la Presomption]” (1578) [tr. Frame (1943)]

A quotation from Montaigne

A man must not always tell all, for that were folly: but what a man says should be what he thinks, otherwise ’tis knavery.

@JoanBuades «que el menjar era, com les altres drogues, contra la malaltia de la fam»

Malaltia que comparteixen tots els éssers vius i que remou la vida.

Sens dubte li cridem constantment a la natura que nosaltres no som d'aquest mon.
