Kwotz Conteenewed


If you say what you shouldn't say. Don't be surprised when you hear what you shouldn't hear.


Normality is merely a matter of consensus, that is, a lot of people think something is right, and so that thing becomes right.


Diplomacy is the art of postponing decisions until the problems resolve themselves.


Be like the fountain that overflows, not like the cistern that merely contains.


The danger of an adventure is worth a thousand days of ease and comfort.


The only cure to bitterness is the awareness of life and the medication is the awareness of death. Because the awareness of death encourages us to live more intensely.


We don't spontaneously learn that we don't learn that we don't learn.


Those who wish to sing, always find a song.


The tragedy of life is not that man loses, but that he almost wins.


A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.


The mind acts and regrets, the heart acts and forgives.


Don't do something permanently stupid just because you are temporarily frustrated and angry.


Real difficulties can be overcome, imaginary ones are unconquerable.


The state of your life is nothing more than a reflection of your state of mind.


We always feel bad that good things happen only to others; but we always forget that we are others for someone else.


Miss the one who is ready to miss anything for you.


We're all wannabes. Imagine if we didn't wanna be; we'd never end up becoming anything.


It's always too early to quit and never too late to start or try again.


People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.


It is because of it's emptiness that the cup is useful.


If you have nothing, you have nothing to lose.


Desire to not desire, learn to unlearn.


It is said that the path into light is dark. That the path forward is backward. That true power seems weak, that true purity seems tarnished, that true resolve seems changeable, that true clarity obscure. The greatest art is unsophisticated, the greatest love indifferent, the greatest wisdom childish.


The mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work unless it's open.


Knowledge talks, wisdom listens.


The quote, "I love you too much to let you go" does not ring true.
For the meaning of the truest love lies in the willingness to let go, with no hope or future expectations from your love.
The ability to let go,
The ability to enforce change,
Lies but in the hearts of the BRAVE.

For people who believe strongly in the illusiveness of life, to doubt would be more correct than to bear full conviction about anything at all. But then again that questions their primary belief in illusions. - Aditi A world without faith in a higher power or a god is a better world where we can be responsible for our own actions; where we can be kind to one another because we want to and because it is the right thing to do instead of being frightened into behaving by the threat of divine punishment. Many events may have defied your ability to explain, events that seem like miracles, but if you are convinced that you failed to understand them because you're still woefully ignorant about the universe and the learning will never stop, then, you cannot and will not believe that a deity altered the workings of nature. Don't ignore reality in order to comfort yourself, for once you do, you make it easy for others to deceive you. Understanding breeds empathy. We do not writ...

ChAI

I used AI to make my chai this morning.   Why? Because I wanted to see if I’d still get that dopamine hit from something I didn’t even make.   I wanted to know if, by outsourcing an experience whose only purpose was my own consumption, it would take away from it.   By removing the act of boiling water, steeping tea—by only keeping the intent to make it—would I still feel the satisfaction when I took the first sip?   I read somewhere that you should aim to do hard things. That when you push yourself, when you fight resistance, and break through the boundaries of what you thought you could do, the dopamine hit is bigger.   But what happens when everything can be done by AI?   What happens when AI whispers, "I got you," and we stop doing anything at all?   The dopamine hit then wouldn’t come from the effort, but from the discovery that AI can do more, so we do less.   But here’s the catch—AI will do more, and w...

Kept / Wept / Slept

For a while now, I've been wearing house slippers that are way too big for me. Firsthand experiencing the dangers of seeking (and knowing) too much, and finding out, rudely, unceremoniously, curiosity can kill more than just the cat. While exciting to taste the fruity slurps of seemingly full-knowledge, the satisfying crunch of acknowledgement, like punching holes through a thick stack of warm copy paper, the thrill of cliff jumps can culminate into bum-first crashing into the deceptive deep. Nobody warns you. That the water is always shallower; swallowing life too fragile to keep. No one explains that the depth is a trick. That the more that you dig, the less it will stick. Hunger loud from the tum; buns left in the breadbasket: none. And thread count of those slightly expensive sheets? No reliable guarantee of sleep. Long story short, if worry is the thief of joy; self awareness is the enemy of miracles. And so the slippers go into that unopened shoe cupboard, unused, where their...
