Thy light is an eminence unto thee
And thou art upheld by the pillars of thy strength.
Thy power is a foundation for the worlds:
They are builded thereon as upon a lofty rock
Whereto no enemy hath access.
Thou puttest forth thy rays, and they hold the sky
As in the hollow of an immense hand.
Thou erectest thy light as four walls
And a roof with many beams and pillars.
Thy flame is a stronghold based as a mountain:
Its bastions are tall, and firm like stone.
The worlds are bound with the ropes of thy will,
Like steeds are they stayed and constrained
By the reins of invisible lightnings.
With bands that are stouter than iron manifold,
And stronger than the cords of the gulfs,
Thou withholdest them from the brink
Of outward and perilous deeps,
Lest they perish in the desolations of the night,
Or be stricken of strange suns;
Lest they be caught in the pitfalls of the abyss,
Or fall into the furnace of Arcturus.
Thy law is as a shore unto them,
And they are restrained thereby as the sea.
Thou art food and drink to the worlds:
Yea, by the sustenance are they sustained,
That they falter not upon the road of space
Whose goal is Hercules.
When thy pillars of force are withdrawn,
And the walls of thy light fall inward,
And thy head is covered with the Shadow,
The worlds shall wander as men bewildered
In the wasteness void of life and barren.
Athirst and unfed shall they be
When the springs of thy strength are dust
And thy fields of light are black with dearth.
They shall perish from the ways
That thou showest no longer,
And emptiness shall close above them.

My last message here. No more bikering about politics its a waste of time.
Most people are decent, most of the time. At least in my experience, and I have met a lot of people in my life.
There's nothing to remember about all this dumb mess except these 2 sentences.
Some folks dont agree with this, and this is not because of their politics. Leftists agree or disagree. Same for righties.
Ive lived many lives and I met folks from all walks of life. Thats why I dont have many doubts about this.
There's a reason behind this:
Everyone always thinks they’re doing the right thing (sometimes wrongly, of course).
Right?
I recently undersood that that was Jesus said before being crucified:
Amen!

What really matters is happiness, that's what we all desire. But instead of finding ways to happiness, we distract ourselves, either on Insta or on Lemmy.
(without smartphones of course - Baise Pascal)
And we'd better not fuck up too much, because decades can disappear just like that.
Since im guilty of this, i reread these two short texts ezch year.
Paul Graham - Life is Short

But i mean, its such a personal stuff that i hear a loud voice in my mind telling me in French: nuff said, bow stfu.
Take care.
