Character

Published May 13, 2021 By Bijay Shrestha

Gold tests with fire,

woman with gold,

man with woman.

~Seneca

Alexander 23 – IDK You Yet

To weigh in on the character of a person, male or female, Seneca made the algorithm painless and precise for us.

Following are my deductions on the same:

As we measure the purity of Gold by the intensity of temperature we put it into.

We measure the substance in a Woman around the riches.

And, that we measure the character of a man around women.

Somebody said it wisely, (bad) women succumb to greed, (bad) men succumb to lust.

Namaste.

I am no more the I was

Sam Garrett – The Dance and The Wonder

So much has happened in these past few years,

I am no more the I was, for the I am to become.

 

Stories like Claire Wineland’s.

Movies based on real life like William Kamkwamba’s

The scent and the spines of reliable books like Tribe of Mentors, and Atomic Habits,

… and wisdom from bad-ass mentors like Krista Tippett and Young Seneca,

… and clarity and queries from podcasts like The Minimalists, and Masters of Scale.

a hard learned humility of knowing that there’s no way I’ll ever be perfect,

that i’ll ever know everything in life,… about life.

 

However, the persistent curious itch to inquire and pursue most important questions like ‘What fuels my today for better tomorrow? Or, How might I live a more simple, deliberate, meaningful, joyful and fulfilled life?’

… and in the process cleanse my biases and ignorance, slowly, all the more gently in bits and bites.

 

In truth, so much has happened in these last few years,

I’ll never be the same.

I don’t want to be the same, ever.
