A quotation from Cicero

Therefore, when the young die I am reminded of a strong flame extinguished by a torrent; but when old men die it is as if a fire had gone out without the use of force and of its own accord, after the fuel had been consumed; and, just as apples when they are green are with difficulty plucked from the tree, but when ripe and mellow fall of themselves, so, with the young, death comes as a result of force, while with the old it is the result of ripeness. To me, indeed, the thought of this “ripeness” for death is so pleasant, that the nearer I approach death the more I feel like one who is in sight of land at last and is about to anchor in his home port after a long voyage.

[Itaque adulescentes mihi mori sic videntur, ut cum aquae multitudine flammae vis opprimitur, senes autem sic, ut cum sua sponte nulla adhibita vi consumptus ignis exstinguitur; et quasi poma ex arboribus, cruda si sunt, vix evelluntur, si matura et cocta, decidunt, sic vitam adulescentibus vis aufert, senibus maturitas; quae quidem mihi tam iucunda est, ut, quo propius ad mortem accedam, quasi terram videre videar aliquandoque in portum ex longa navigatione esse venturus.]

Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
De Senectute [Cato Maior; On Old Age], ch. 19 / sec. 71 (44 BC) [tr. Falconer (1923)]

2 people in the UK visited a pub in the nude, and they as well as the staff were severely attacked over that. Despite the fact that plain, simple nudity is legal in the UK.

“Danielle and I find it deeply saddening that in 2023 an individual has attacked a small business that is trying to demonstrate acceptance and tolerance.”

A quotation from Russell, Bertrand

To understand the actual world as it is, not as we should wish it to be, is the beginning of wisdom.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
“Censorship by Progressives,” New York American (1934-10-11)

The #political #battle for #gay #rights is over & won. #Homosexuals now have all the same rights & protections as #heterosexuals in nearly all (if not all) #Western nations. #Time to stand down. #Equality under secular #law has been #achieved & there is no longer a political battle to #fight. We can't force people to like #homosexuality, but we have ensured that #homosexual rights are enshrined in #secular law.

#Government cannot offer more than #equality under the law. Pushing for #social #acceptance of homosexuality using government #power is an #abuse of government power. Promoting homosexuality to #children is highly #inappropriate & #counterproductive. #Obnoxious, overly-sexualized "#pride parades" are antagonistic & as a political #tool are #superfluous.
