A lot of good wisdom packed in this book

We never stop learning. It is hard to put into practice, especially if it is your kids or parents, or anyone close like that.

This lesson is not easy for anyone. Accepting that everyone is on a journey and that they have to follow their own path will set you free. I love everyone and have no enemies ❤️

I know. Twitter Blue is also not a tax. Neither is rounding up to the charity in the grocery store on a purchase. I get it, I just don’t agree with the incentive structure aligned with the status tag.

I say this intentionally to spark thought and consideration around this. We’re learning though and I understand trial and error 🤗

I’d rather turn off donations than have a loyalty status star. 👀🫣

100% tax - not good 👎

I like the ease of application as well as the donation and support, but it drives the wrong incentive approach. I like to give a lot of sats to good content, but this incentivizes me to give less to the creator of the content, and match to devs to get my gold star.

I love the devs and support what they do, but I don’t like applying status to “how much” you support. I’d rather donate anonymously than wear a badge of loyalty.

It’s not a good feature imo

What’s the stars ⭐️ and zaps ⚡️ by the name?

Did you setup wallet on settings? Good video from #[3]​ shows a step by step

I stacked early using ledger, then got a cold card and have been using that with sparrow. Should I move % stack or wait and see?

One tap zaps are dope, but I still enjoy the flexibility of having the 🤙 button

Replying to nobody

The step further (putting the cart away) also puts a person out of a job.

Morality is anything but simple. Great thinkers have agonized over these things for centuries. It’s good to continue their work and continue to roll these things around in your mind.

A lady once owned a parrot. She loved this parrot a great deal. She would watch the parrot eat his favorite seeds and watch as he struggled to shell them and extract the seed inside.

She thought to herself, “I hate that he has to struggle to eat. It’s not right, and I love him.” So, the lady went online and found him some pre-shelled seeds and began to feed her parrot those.

The parrot really seemed to enjoy the shelled seeds, and the woman who owned the parrot enjoyed watching him eat so much more easily.

But over time, she began to notice something alarming! Her parrot was eating less and less, and eventually stopped all together! He didn’t act right, and did not talk or preen.

She rushed her parrot to the vet, and begged them to help her beloved bird. The vet gave the bird a thorough examination and ran tests, and then asked, “what are you feeding your bird?”

The lady explained all about how she had switched the bird to shelled seeds so he could eat easier, because she didn’t feel like it was right for him to struggle.

The vet shook their head slowly, and sighed. “Birds beaks never stop growing. They’re like fingernails. When your bird fights to wheel his food, it wears the beak down and keeps it the appropriate length. Without that struggle to eat, the birds beak has grown too long, and he has been starving to death as he can no longer get the food in his mouth.”

The vet in this story was able to file the bird’s beak down and restore him to health.

But the moral of the story has always stuck with me. Sometimes, helping isn’t helping, and even the best of intentions can cause harm if done thoughtlessly or in ignorance.

The duality in life creates a balance in the universe. Great perspective and this story is something that will stick with me. Thank you 🤗
