The Courtyard of a House in Delft - Pieter de Hooch

Check your ego at the door. The ego can be the great success inhibitor. It can kill opportunities, and it can kill success.

Silence

the dark loneliness
the empty feeling
the pain
the suffering
wanting to say bye
but not being able to
the silence of death would suck

Conspiracy theories can be dangerous

Conspiracy theories often target or discriminate against an entire group perceived as the enemy behind a real or imagined threat. They polarise society and fuel violent extremism. While most people who spread conspiracy theories genuinely believe in them, others deploy them cynically to achieve these effects.

🎨✨ Art has the power to transcend boundaries and speak to the soul. Whether it’s a vibrant painting or a delicate sculpture, each piece tells a unique story waiting to be discovered. Embrace creativity and let it inspire your journey! #ArtLife #CreativityUnleashed

Writing well: the perfect ending

• Give as much thought to choosing your last sentence as you did to your first.


• Bring the story full circle: strike an echo of a note that was sounded at the beginning.


• The perfect ending should take your readers slightly by surprise and yet seem exactly right.


• Don’t sell past the close. When you’re ready to stop, stop.

Hey diddle diddle, hes on the fiddle

Hey diddle diddle,
the Cats on the fiddle,
that Cow must be wired to the moon.
The little Dog barfed,
as we all had fun
and the Dish got clubbed with a Spoon...

Why Avoid Social Media

Many of these platforms can be avoided if you are a student or a working professional. Rich Johnson’s book The Power of Focus emphasises the importance of avoiding such social media sites in order to develop concentration and focus in your life and career. According to research, social media causes anxiety, tension, and makes life more difficult at times. Relating oneself to someone one will never become makes life difficult.

Wishes To Late

I wish that you could hold me in your arms.  
Hold me close to you where I can escape from the pain.
I wish that you could comfort me and make me feel at ease.  
I wish that you were here now.  You did this to me.  
Why won’t you fix it? I wish you would fix it.  
I wish you would mend my broken heart.  
Just put the pieces back together.  
I wish I knew what you’re thinking. How you’re feeling.  
I wish you were here to talk to me.  To give me advice and listen.
I wish I could pour my heart out to you. I wish I could cry on you shoulder and not have to fight the tears back.
Knowing that you won’t attempt to dry them at all.
That you would let them all slip from my soul until I drowned.
I wish that you could make me stop crying or at least try.
I wish you never made me cry in the first place.  
I wish that I could feel your heart beating.
Your head resting on mine. Your arms tightly holding onto me as if you never want me to leave.
I wish I could have that feeling back one more time.  
Just one more time with you to show you how I feel.
To have that feeling that words can’t even come close to describing.
I think I love you but it is too late.  
You’re gone and now I want you more than ever.  
I wish you were mine to hold.  I wish that you knew.

The age of enlightenment - Rene Magritte

Old Age Despair

OLD AGE DESPAIR

What good the golden hoard, the noble fame
Of heroes or the praise of younger Man?
The hand of Death makes Man but a mere name
And none may linger longer than the span
Of years which fickle Fate allots.

We start to die when we begin to live.
The ages pass and we and all our kin
Are dead and those who died can only give
Scant recompense for all we did. Oh! What a sin
To live at all. Our whole life rots!

Is there a God who looks upon our toil?
Does He not watch our progress and approve
Our every act? Are we but soil
That lie beneath this Earth never to move?
Man dies when he is dead and ties the knots
Around him in the silent graveyard plots.

                                                                              Hugh L.M.Wyles 2003

2. Anonymity

The less personal information an account gives, the more likely it is to be a Bot. 

The only unique feature is a link to a US-based political action committee:

Blackmantrump gives no personal information at all. There is thus no indication of what person lies behind the account.

If tomarow never comes

What if tomorrow never comes will we miss what we did yesterday how bout what we did last . if tomorrow never comes will we forget the things we did in the past , will we forget the ones we love . if tomorrow never comes what will happen with to day will our memories fade away out of those who we care so much about .

what will happen with the world as we know it should it crumble and fall beneath us if tomorrow never comes . Shall all we fought so hard to protect die without us if tomorrow never comes.will we still be happy when were dead will we still be around in some way shape or form if tomorrow never comes...........
