The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army
— Gen. George Washington

There’s a simple truth that so many find uncomfortable. It and each of us will all end in the grave. Death is Life’s one constant. Embrace an old man’s wisdom; accept your death as a great gift and a guaranteed end of your sentence. 😉
Some may believe that Buddhism teaches that, “Your world is reborn each morning. And you are allowed to start over, at least in spirit.” I, on the other hand, think that Prometheus was far closer to right and truth. 😉
Barstool Philosophy Truer Than Derrida, Foucault, or Gramsci More Applicable Than Hegel or Kant
Tomatoes are fruit, rarely belong in a fruit salad, but is a Bloody Mary a smoothie? By far, this is better and more applicable philosophy than most of what came out of the 19th and 20th centuries.
