Well, if King Solomon could have 700 wives...

Don't finish that thought, Steph..."
STEPHEN XD

Oh, Stephen.🤦‍♀️

On another note, I just finished listening to a lecture on Book 21 of The City of God. This statement struck a cord in my heart:

“Hell is not other people. Rather, hell is the complete inability to relate to other people, to find no way to see yourself in another or feel another’s pain in yourself. To not empathize with them. To have the barriers of self & other break down in a larger, more powerful “we.” In hell, we have no sense, let alone the possibility of self-transcendence. Hell is a suffocating solitude with no way out of yourself. And, in all this, hell is crucially self-inflicted. A condition appropriate for those souls because it is caused by their own agency.”

Wow. That is…deep.

Dang

Wow. That deep. 🤯

^^^^

@Elijah that last story is quite hilarious, I’d be honored if the Illuminati reached out, tbh

Haha same

Good reminder to be on the alert, even on GR.👍

lol wow.

I keep getting scam emails on my school account, offering jobs that are too good to be true through my university, no less. I'm like obviously this is fake for so many different reasons...like typos, really? anyways. I've gotten a lot of those. and I also get "wrong number" scams through text pretty frequently. all the formula is the same. it's crazy. sometimes I call them out and they get all offended and say that they were just looking for their friend XD but those text scammers are more scary because it's easier to let your guard down with things like that

Those times when you are feeling somewhat blue and you gaze out of the window, take a small sip of tea, exhale a soft sigh, and enter into philosopher mode.

Or maybe

Those times when you are feeling somewhat stressed and you put on your headphones, select a piece of cinematic music, start to think that the whole world revolves around you, and transition into invincible protagonist mode.

Yes! Adding onto the first one, as you sit there in philosopher mode, you imagine yourself in a movie or something. lol

This!^

I usually have the problem of sitting down to read, and then immediately a family member appears out of nowhere and sits down next to me and starts up a random conversation, like about something they saw on youtube...

For real!! Then you have to be polite and listen to them!! And then when there’s a break you start reading again hoping they get the memo. 😆

K, this actually happened to me tonight. You go to the giant hord of books to either look for a specific one or just to find a book or two to reread and when you're finished browsing you're holding a stack of 17 books.

Sorry, it was un grammerfied

Ah yes 😩

When you do a little dance with someone bc you can’t figure out which way to go and end up missing 🥲

@Karaline, so true… and the you have to go back and re-read it because you have no idea what’s going on.
