A quotation from Wendell Berry
People who live at the lower ends of watersheds cannot be isolationists — or not for long. Pretty soon they will notice that water flows, and that will set them to thinking about the people upstream who either do or do not send down their silt and pollutants and garbage. Thinking about the people upstream out to cause further thinking about the people downstream. Such pondering on the facts of gravity and the fluidity of water shows us that the golden rule speaks to a condition of absolute interdependency and obligation. People who live on rivers — or, in fact, anywhere in a watershed — might rephrase the rule in this way: Do unto those downstream as you would have those upstream do unto you.Wendell Berry (b. 1934) American farmer, educator, poet, conservationist
Essay (1997), “Watershed and Commonwealth,” Citizenship Papers (2003)

@Schafstelze #DGAF über Anschlussfähigkeit. Ich muss niemandem mehr etwas beweisen.
Ich sage aber: Wut düngt eine giftige Pflanze, die in allerlei Richtungen wächst. Ich finde, diese Pflanze muss man nicht düngen; schon gar nicht, wenn es @BlumeEvolution und @rpolenz betrifft.
Ich stelle mir vor, ich wäre in meiner Partei quasi allein, kämpfte aber gut Kämpfe um ehrbare Positionen. Wie würde ich mich bei solchen Kommentaren wohl fühlen? #GoldenRule

As 2025 wraps up here with 6 and half hours left. I want to remind everyone that with “#GoldenRule” and little “#commonsense” each new day will feel little better than before.
Hope 2026 turns out great and wonderful for everyone 🎉

You say one thing. You do another.
You speak of honour while breaking your word when it's inconvenient. You quote principles while optimising for extraction.
The system would work if you worked the system. Execute the protocol or stop quoting it.
