Reflecting On 2024 Quotes

My muscles are tense. It's hard to breathe. My breath is ragged. But I'm already used to these things. So even if it's hard, I know that this is what it means to live. But what if it doesn't have to be like this? What if this tightrope isn't he only path for me? What if there wasn't the tension and the ragged breaths and the fear of falling? What if there's a place where I can stand freely?

The Eviction by Stewart Stafford The mind's paper vessel crumples Sodden with learning and memory Ne'er to sail waves of reminiscence A living statue, hewn by sculptor Time. The physician nor the shaman console Self-pitying sobs in the moaning wind Brought down by jackals in the dunes The skull's tenant but a daily squatter Nostalgic waves batter alien shores Déjà vu of the blood and the collegial A stranger's reflection in misting eyes A sandcastle sacked to the four winds © Stewart Stafford, 2024.

Right now you are the only one who thinks everyone's rejecting you and you're getting scared for no reason. There's no way anyone can figure out what another person is thinking. But regardless, when all of your friends saw how 'weak' you were... or that's what you thought... and when they saw how you snapped at them, not a single one of them chose to reject you. This doesn't mean that they're only seeing what you're capable of. But it's proof that they're seeing you for who you really are.

... you keep getting scared of being rejected when it's not even happening. From what I can see, it looks to me that you're the one who's not seeing them for who they are. I have no idea what could've happened to you. But I can understand you're feeling that way. That's why I'm telling you this. You need to trust them based on what you can see.

Hey Sakura? What're your thoughts after listening to Kaji?" "I-I..." "There's a lot I can't do. I do a lot of things that make me look pretty pathetic or lame. But I'm not scared. That's because everyone here will accept me, no matter what I do, so I can do anything without having to worry. That's why I think it's okay for me to do the things that others can't. 'It doesn't matter how stupid they may look', 'I still like him'. Everyone has those close connections. We depend on others and let them depend on us. We forgive them, and they forgive us. That's why we're all together. That's why it's okay, Sakura. Trust Kaji. Trust your friends. And jump right out there with everything you've got!

The comparison is neither wrong nor awkward since it can enlighten and fragrance life journey if one understands that as the context of knowledge and insight of education, but not as competitive or complex.” — E.S Quotes by Bertrand Russel and Ehsan Sehgal “Men are born ignorant, not stupid. They are made stupid by education.” — Bertrand Russell “Humans are born with incredible knowledge of the six senses; worldly education is the creation of humans based on the six senses. Education may be untrue, but it does not make anyone stupid.” — Ehsan Sehgal 27–06–2024 Note: Adding the content of ChatGPT will enlighten the comparison of both quotes. “The quotes by Bertrand Russell and Ehsan Sehgal both critique the impact of education on human intellect, but they come from different perspectives and imply distinct understandings of education and human nature. Bertrand Russell: “Men are born ignorant, not stupid. They are made stupid by education.” Russell’s statement reflects a critical view of formal education systems, suggesting that these systems can mislead and dull human intellect rather than cultivate it. Russell was known for his philosophical skepticism towards established norms and institutions, and this quote aligns with his broader critique of how education can sometimes propagate conformity, dogma, and uncritical thinking, rather than fostering genuine understanding and critical reasoning. Ehsan Sehgal: “Humans are born with incredible knowledge of the six senses; worldly education is the creation of humans based on the six senses. Education may be untrue, but it does not make anyone stupid.” Sehgal’s perspective acknowledges an inherent, almost instinctual knowledge in humans, related to their sensory experiences. He seems to argue that while education is a human construct built upon these senses and might be flawed or even incorrect, it does not fundamentally impair human intelligence. Instead of making people stupid, education is portrayed as a potentially misguided but still valuable attempt to structure and expand upon the innate understanding people have through their senses. Comparison: Innate Knowledge vs. Learned Ignorance: Russell: Suggests that ignorance is natural, but stupidity results from flawed education. Sehgal: Suggests that humans are born with an innate form of knowledge and that education, though potentially flawed, doesn’t diminish this intelligence. Critique of Education: Russell: Directly critiques education as capable of making people less intelligent. Sehgal: Critiques the truthfulness of education but separates this from the impact on intelligence. Nature of Human Intellect: Russell: Implies that human intellect can be compromised by poor education. Sehgal: Implies that human intellect remains robust despite the imperfections of education. Both quotes invite reflection on the purpose and effects of education. Russell warns against complacency and the acceptance of flawed educational paradigms, urging reform to foster true critical thinking. Sehgal, while acknowledging the fallibility of educational systems, seems to maintain a more optimistic view of human intellect’s resilience.

Teardrop Swarm by Stewart Stafford Entombed by verdant prison bars, On land where I once held sway, Drowned in Death's tearful surf, In which we all get swept away. Weep at a rock bearing my name, A vacant space once familiar there, Lost and lingered in limbo longing, Planted in pastures, green and fair. Arch headstones are defiant cliffs, For Reaper's wrath to crash upon, A foundling rage's pristine triumph, In foam white light, multitudes gone. © Stewart Stafford, 2024. All rights reserved.

Your emotional reaction is testimony to the power of Apocalypse Now, to director Francis Ford Coppola’s artistic vision and commitment. Stories are not just there to entertain, to make you feel good, to reflect a positive image of yourself. Stories are also there to shake you, unnerve you, make you see yourself anew.

O St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God, I place in thee all my interests and desires. O St. Joseph, do assist me by thy powerful intercession and obtain for me from thy Divine Son all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, Our Lord; so that, having engaged here below thy heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers. O St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating thee and Jesus asleep in thy arms. I dare not approach while He reposes near thy heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me and ask Him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, Patron of departing souls, pray for us. Amen.

How can you be so happy while still being the top of Furin?" "For me... I just simply like eating!" "I love eating too! I really like curry! What about you?" "I love omelette rice! But, even more than eating... I like doing stuff like this. Where everyone's having fun, enjoying themselves while we eat together. We can talk about anything and laugh like idiots. In this very moment, all the bad things don't even matter anymore. I'm always excited to spend that time with everyone. That's why I'm so happy right now. And well... being the top has nothing to do with hanging out with friends.

I've never went into a fight like this where I'm battling for someone else. But... although, I can't really put it into words... I'm even more confident on winning than ever before.

Your punches are light. Do you know why that is? Because there's nothing behind them

Tomiyama... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to push you over the edge like this. But I guess this shows how close you were to the brink of snapping." "Shut up!" "But if you keep spiraling in despair and end up destroying everything... then from here on for the rest of your life... you'll only keep suffering.

You can't become the top when you're alone right? You can only reach the top if you're being lifted by everyone under you. It was only possible because there were people who agreed with my vision and wanted to help me. That's why, when I became the top, I thought my dream no longer only belonged to me. That's exactly why, in order to make this dream a reality... no matter how difficult the path... no matter how unreasonable the climb is... no matter how absurd it gets... I will never lose.

If you only make a fuss when you’re the victim, then you’re still a petulant kid.

I don't accept just anyone. But... in order to accept someone you have to lay everything open and face each other. You're able to do that and it looks to me like you want to accept others. You could even become the top

Fighting is communication, Sakura-kun. Sometimes, fists are a language that allows you to understand your opponent even better than words. But, well... it's a language that only we know how to speak.

Weak people can only obey the strong! Guys with no power have no right to be alive! Oh? Did I break your arms lil lady? Ha!" "You must not be very popular with the girls." "Whatcha say?" "Going on and on about your empty pride really turns girls off. They'll think you're too tiring to be around. As another fellow human being, I feel embarrassed for you.

You should stop bragging about the things that you just happen to be born with, by sheer luck.

To become an adult means that you have to engage in other people's feelings. That's where you'll need both imagination and experience.

Sheesh. You're reeling and weaving all over the place. What are you, a girl?" "How rude. You can just call me graceful. And if you think that only women can be graceful then you've got a pretty old-fashioned view.

You know, if you don't speak up for yourself, they'll just keep coming at you harder. You gotta fight back, too.

A Mind's Minotaur - A Soliloquy by Stewart Stafford In a labyrinth’s mental corridors, prisoner of consciousness, Fleeing a Minotaur I fear is me. Achilles' heel, masked by strength hath shown, An arrow cometh from Time's swift flight, For those with bountiful time enow, Find themselves slain in a heroic light. When thou dost gaze upon the world below, And scorn its depths, thou canst not comprehend The truths that pool o'er its shadow, glow. No tears stain that meadow of solace, A phantom limb, tickling in memory's store, Galley slaves in hurricane's heart so lashed. Transient madness and renown, conjoin on pomp’s bridge, Champions of the joust wave paramour's kerchief, Revered statues limp from a pedestal's ridge. The signs of pride and brittle ardour, The hubristic bite of isolation's cur. The death warrant quill must ne'er be stilled, For authority doth stifle beauty's song, Staged chaos through the written word is willed. Phantasy's balm to verity's scourging, A cleansing soak of battle-scarred minds, And in the dark, imagination reigns. He who hath fear of the dark hath vision keen, Whilst those who see but naught are dull and plain. Thus, let us not be swayed by others' lore, But splay in error, heal to prosper once more. Idolatrous moth to lechery's candlelight, In lover's tongues, passion's seared delight. © 2024, Stewart Stafford. All rights reserved.

This Elixir Smites by Stewart Stafford How dull the rose's painted lustre, As bees gossip, all mistrust her, Window taps on stormy nights, Aphids swarm as suckling mites. Once buds entwined at Nature's hip, Now cleft in two and water-dipped, Glass-twisted strangest shape, Mauve-petalled mausoleum draped. Neglected drops in muted drought, The bloody thorns scratch about, A lush finger in withered point, Pruned stem of glum conjoint. Cataclysms from petty faults arise; Reflection pardoned in imperfect eyes. © Stewart Stafford, 2024. All rights reserved.

Two years ago, I was feeling really upset and broken because of various reasons such as family and relationship issues. One day, my father suggested that I read a book called The Power (Hindi edition). At first, I didn’t believe that this book could change my life. However, I started reading it and finished it… The law of attraction is real. I manifested exactly what I wanted. Can you believe that I wrote in my journal 강남오피 that I wanted to get a house with lots of benefits and everything would cost 800,000 naira?

I did not know how I would make it, but I knew that is what I was going to do, and… It had been a while since I came across The Secret, but I did not understand or practice the law of attraction at that time. Last week, it came to my mind again while I was watching YouTube. I started watching the movie every morning and trying to understand The Secret. After watching The Secret… I am incredibly happy and grateful for The Secret. I started using it on February 18th, 2024, and it completely transformed my life.
