Yeah but look at the trade numbers at closing. If you've followed the Dow Industrials over the decades, the number that today's Dow fell to still exceeds the numbers that set previous high records. #perspective

Anxiety is a monster in Sony’s new Spider-Verse short film

The new Spider-Verse short is here, and it’s terrifying.

Rumi, a 13th century Persian spiritual teacher, was asked:

What is spiritual maturity?

1. It's when we stop trying to change others and focus on changing ourselves.
2. It is when we accept people as they are.
3. It is when we understand that everyone is correct according to their own perspective.
4. It is when we learn to "let go".
5. It is when we are able to not have "expectations" in a relationship, and we give of ourselves for the pleasure of giving.
6. It is when we understand that what we do, we do for our own peace.
7. It's when we stop showing the world how smart we are.
8. It's when we stop seeking approval from others.
9. It's when we stop comparing ourselves to others.
10. It is when we are at peace with ourselves.
11. It is when we are able to distinguish between "need" and "want" and we are able to let go of that want.
12. Spiritual maturity is gained when we stop attaching "happiness" to material things!

A quotation from Chamfort

History is the only consolation left to the peoples, for it teaches them that their ancestors were as unhappy as themselves, or more unhappy.

[En effet, il ne reste guère, pour consoler les peuples, que de leur apprendre que leurs ancêtres ont été aussi malheureux, ou plus malheureux.]

Nicolas Chamfort (1741-1794) French writer, epigrammist (b. Nicolas-Sébastien Roch)
Products of Perfected Civilization [Produits de la Civilisation Perfectionée], Part 1 “Maxims and Thoughts [Maximes et Pensées],” ch. 8, ¶ 474 (1795) [tr. Mathers (1926)]

A quotation from Lessing, Gotthold

For to a great man both things are needful; to treat trifles as trifles and important matters as important matters.

[Denn zu einem großen Manne gehört beides: Kleinigkeiten als Kleinigkeiten, und wichtige Dinge als wichtige Dinge zu behandeln.]

Gotthold Lessing (1729-1781) German playwright, philosopher, dramaturg, writer
Hamburgische Dramaturgie [Hamburg Dramaturgy], Essay 34, 1767-08-25 (1767-1769) [tr. Zimmern (1890)]
