Tu es bon pour les peintres et saches le bien que plus j’y réfléchis plus je sens qu’il n’y a rien de plus réellement artistique que d’aimer les gens.

##### You’re kind to painters, and be sure that the more I think about it the more I feel that there’s nothing more genuinely artistic than to love people.

~Vincent van Gogh in a letter to his brother Theo, dated September 18, 1888 [+]

This morning I wrote a letter to my friend Peter who is a sculptor, poet and philosopher and put it into a van Gogh envelope, thought to give him a quote by Vincent and was happy to find the above treasure.

The Great Diaspora Treasure Hunt

Sometimes the stream is just dull and reshared. I have read some places were people discuss the endless reshares, and discusses how much quality contant this place needs to get going. But the truth is that resharing is like ants in the forest. They can be quite a nuisance, but they are a valuable part of the ecosystem as they help the federation of this place.

Only... why repost the same thing you just saw reposted. The clever ant goes on a treasure hunt in old posts. The good thing by doing this is the post might fell new even if it's an oldie'n'goodie, the chance of dublicates in the stream is minmal, and, most important, it will help new pods be part of the history of Diaspora and Friendica. Digging up a really interesting, fun, thoughtprovoking or obscene post from the past makes you a Diaspora archelologist, a pillar of federation society, a provider of quality content to the hungry masses - and it's (almost) just as easy as a normal reshare.

So if you are bored with the stream go on find some old posts, the older the better, the less reshares the better, the better the better.

I will at least try to do this more often ...
