A quotation from Ingersoll, Robert Green:
«
I had rather live and love where death is king, than have eternal life where love is not. Another life is nought, unless we know and love again the ones who love us here.

A quotation from Vonnegut, Kurt, Jr.:
«
I told her that what made being alive almost worthwhile for me was all the saints I met almost anywhere, people who were behaving decently in an indecent society.

Everyone #talks about using time travel to go back and #eliminate Hitler before he could start #WWII.
Surely we have more creativity, to suggest other #worthwhile efforts once we gain causality-violation powers?
How about going back and stopping Lennart Poettering from starting #systemd?

“All I ask is that my results should convince seekers after truth that there is beyond doubt something worth while seeking, attainable by methods more or less like mine.”

Dear Friends of #New,🫠
I #notice social media #changes my mind, #buddhas and sole [yum] eg:
- I have little time or interest in North America
- Little Britannia is melting, just like in #OZ
- Click bait #= Social Media, #tsk #tsk
And in that sprat/#Spirit we went for a #walk in the #Urban #freeze. I really #enjoyed that #worthwhile time. I must conclude after #meditating, #contemplating and #exercising my noodle, that being #free is an #internal/eternal and unsocial madia is just #recycling opinions …🫠
“I admit that my visions can never mean to other men as much as they do to me. I do not regret this. All I ask is that my results should convince seekers after truth that there is beyond doubt something worth while seeking, attainable by methods more or less like mine. I do not want to father a flock, to be the fetish of fools and fanatics, or the founder of a faith whose followers are content to echo my opinions. I want each man to cut his own way through the jungle.”
A quotation from Miller, Joaquin:
«
Is it worthwhile that we jostle a brother,
Bearing his load on the rough road of life?
Is it worthwhile that we jeer at each other,
In blackness of heart? — that we war to the knife?
God pity us all in our pitiful strife.

A quotation from Euripides:
«
It is not worth living,
when we see bad men unjustly honored.

Story of Jose Hernandez, Astronaut
His journey is an awesome story. And I'm talking about the the part before his trip aboard the shuttle.
A quotation from Pratchett, Terry:
«««««
“I meant,” said Ipslore bitterly, “what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?”
Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually, CATS ARE NICE.

#REVIEW - FOR THE DREAM (Documentary)
I've never been on a surfboard, or even a skateboard, but I find myself inexplicably drawn to the sea.
Ben Gravy is one of the original #surfing Youtubers. He's not a competitive surfer, but his positivity and will to inspire people has led him to become a "semi-pro surfer." He got sober in 2015, and FOR THE DREAM chronicles his attempt to surf in all 50 states. Ben's flaws and insecurities are on full display. #Fun #Serious #Wholesome #Worthwhile #Joyful
Nature always wins one way or another: "As Marcia Bjornerud, a geologist at Lawrence University, has written, the irony of our oversized impact on the Earth is that we have “put Nature firmly back in charge, with a still-unpublished set of rules we will simply have to guess at.” #NewYorker #climatecrisis #climate #longread #worthwhile https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/11/28/climate-change-from-a-to-z
