#Knowledge is not attained without #hardship, and #wealth is not gathered without #toil. The name of the #noble cannot be earned by the #stingy, nor can one be called #brave without long and arduous #struggle. Were it not for #difficulty, all people would be leaders; for #generosity brings poverty, and relentless #ambition is a fierce battle. (From “Al-Yāqūta” by Ibn al-Jawzi)

Stinginess is not just about money.
A person who withholds their time, love, knowledge, or appreciation is just as stingy.

A friend of mine in his fifties is very #stingy.
He succeed on #DatingApps
He offers to meet and invite tapas to his new dates, but he only pays attention if the woman orders the most expensive tapas in chart and eats too much in his opinion.

Opinion | Dating Apps Like Hinge, Tinder and Bumble Are Getting Worse

Hinge, Tinder, Bumble: They used to be free and maybe too good to be true. Now paid versions and fatigue are making dating apps worse — and expensive.

I think this is Doratifera quadriguttata a different spitfire caterpillar to the last one I tooted. These are the ones that used to sting us (or we'd use to sting others) as we played in the bush of the lower #BlueMountains. 😂

Bare skin brushing against the stingers (retracted in picture) results in a painful burning sensation. They don't actually spit venom or bite.
