"When gold and jade fill your hall,
You will not be able to keep them safe." - #LaoTzu
»Die schwedische Staatsanwaltschaft hat nun Anklage gegen einen externen #IT-Berater des Gesundheitsamts erhoben. Dieser soll seine Schweigepflicht verletzt und vorsätzlich personenbezogene #Daten preisgegeben haben, zu deren #Geheimhaltung er verpflichtet gewesen sei.«
The #Paradox of #Purpose in #Life
It is not possible to describe the #Tao, as #LaoTzu Tzu put it. You should probably contact Monty Python if you’re looking for an explanation of life’s purpose.
"Weapons are inauspicious instruments, not the tools of the enlightened. When there is no choice but to use them, it is best to be calm and free from greed, and not celebrate victory. Those who celebrate victory are bloodthirsty, and the bloodthirsty cannot have their way with the world."
Born, raised, lived in California over 50 years. I am leftist politically, Vegan because I feel it is wrong for me to exist by the harming of other sentient beings (positive side effect, a smaller carbon & water footprint). I am demisexual & dislike sexual references I filter NSFW, Kink & Lewd + (if I understand them). I read a lot & play board & table top roleplaying games. I am ASD, physical & mental health issues. Apatheist/Taoist, cPTSD
Added: I do not identify as transgender because in my life my gender has never changed, only my sex has changed. I was a girl when I was little and became a woman upon turning 18. I was forced to pretend to be male by society but I never have been.
"To be nobody-but-yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody but yourself - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight - and never stop fighting." - E. E. Cummings
“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.” ― Dwight D. Eisenhower
"A strong military, a tool of misfortune
All things detest it" - Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching, chapter 31
