it’s not that life /isn’t/ a war. it is. but to be so confused as think you can’t have fun is confused it’s not that life /isn’t/ a game. it is. but to think there aren’t people suffering or you won’t have to strive is confused https://t.co/BtE4SM4JTD

existing is a life-or-death involvement, this is why these things can be true at the same time https://t.co/r4ijmlCBG4

Maybe the reason tantra worked for me is existing did feel like a life-or-death involvement. https://t.co/c22DDZEudS

it’s not about high stakes, nor low stakes just an honest kind of stakes https://t.co/YDc3QI7bwz

The point is not yes fucks or no fucks, but an honest kind of fucks. Being honest means nothing is quite world-ending. Even humanity ending isn’t world-ending. At the same time, it is worth something. https://t.co/Rw7RMQbVfL

when the plant lives, do we see it as virtue? because to continue to exist is a virtue. one of the less self-conscious, intrinsic kind of virtues https://t.co/lcsr5uJHCL https://t.co/4EsaegODeA

the point is not some twisted will-to-power like western guilt-justification it’s to make room for both truths so the life out of virtue in the middle is not squashed
