The wisdom of responsibility
The failure that is democracy:

The Age of Fiat is Over.
A new era begins.
Powerful Nietzsche Quote (on running from the inner voice):
“All of us know in individual moments how the most extensive arrangements of our own lives are made only in order to flee from our true task; how we like to hide our heads somewhere, as though our hundred-eyed conscience would not find us there; how we hasten to sell our soul to the state, to money-making, to social life, or to scholarship just so that we will no longer possess it; how even in our daily work we slave away without reflection and more ardently than is necessary to make a living because it seems to us necessary not to stop and reflect.
Haste is universal because everyone is fleeing from himself; universal, too, is the timid concealment of this haste, because we want to appear satisfied and deceive the most perceptive observers about our wretchedness; universal, as well, the need for new sounding word bells with which life can be adorned and lent an air of noisy festivity.
Everyone is familiar with the peculiar state in which unpleasant memories suddenly force themselves upon us and we make an effort to drive them out our heads by means of violent gestures and sounds; but the gestures and sounds of common life indicate that all of us always find ourselves in such a fear of memory and of turning inward.
What is it that assails us so often, what mosquito is this that refuses to let us sleep? Ghostly things are occurring ground us, every moment of life wants to tell us something, but we do not want to hear this ghostly voice.
When we are quiet and alone we are afraid that something will be whispered into our ear, and hence we despise quiet and drug ourselves with sociability.”
Always was. Always will be the case.
There are three types of people in this world:
➡️ Those who make things happen
➡️ Those who watch things happen
➡️ Those who wonder wtf happened
The world is full of the latter (80%).
It is home to many of those who watch (80% of the 20%).
Leaving very few of the ones who make things happen (20% of the 20%).
Why? Because it's hard. Because it's painful. Because it's full of sacrifice.
But...this is the price for life of meaning and fulfilment worthy of a legacy.
If you want the consistent feeling of happiness, which is fleeting, be a part of the 80% - because ignorance is bliss.
Meaning is everything
Truth and facts
You have one chance at life. Don’t waste it in your head, on a screen, or concerning yourself with other people’s lives.
Live a life worth remembering.

Thoughts ???
The word "bushido" is composed of three Japanese characters: 武 (bu) and 士 (shi) which together mean "warrior," and 道 (do) which means "way."
The word "do" can also be translated as "path," "principle," or "teaching," depending on the context.
Therefore, the word "bushido" can be translated as "the way of the warrior," "the warrior's path," or "the warrior's principles."
Bu-shi-do can also, and more literally, translate to Military-Knight-Way, which was the manner in which fighting nobles should engage in daily life as well as their vocation.
In that case, the democracy is the real problem
Sage advice from Bertrand Russel
This is true. Trade offs are real.
Price to pay for everything in life.
Greater the glory, greater the prize, greater the price
Look. Can agree with u on this.
But at the end of the day…Everyone has issues man. And It’s easy to throw stones.
We’ve all made mistakes and done stupid things. And we can never rub everyone the right way.
