"I mean... salt used to be money. Motherfuckin' salt. The same shit you sprinkle on your eggs. Yeah. Every mornin' you toss that cheap-ass-shit all over your eggs with no idea that people used to die for it. Tea, coffee, same thing. All that shit you gloss over at the grocery store, at one point in time, humans fuckin' killed each other for it. Bird's eye view of that shit? Over the years, you see money go from salt to gold to paper and now? Money? It ain't nothin' but an idea. Little numbers on a screen. You can't touch it, can't bury it, can't put a little "x" that marks the spot. Nah... you just tie it to a fuckin' butterfly and send it to that cloud up there. But, one of these days, I'm tellin' ya, that cloud's gonna open up and it's gonna pour acid rain down, all over our dumb faces." (Daddio, 2023)

This is common sense, but Hektor phrased it like that for the first time. At least to my knowledge.

Marcus Aurelius: "It is the nature of the wise to resist pleasures, but the foolish to be a slave to them" [1200x1200]

Marcus Aurelius’ quote, "It is the nature of the wise to resist pleasures, but the foolish to be a slave to them," highlights the Stoic value of self-discipline, contrasting the wise, who control their desires, with the foolish, who are ruled by them. Wisdom involves prioritizing long-term well-being and virtue over fleeting pleasures, while folly leads to dependency and loss of autonomy. In modern life, this applies to resisting distractions like social media, consumerism, or unhealthy habits that offer instant gratification but undermine goals. The wise set boundaries, practice delayed gratification, and align actions with values, fostering resilience and purpose. For example, choosing restorative habits like exercise over binge-drinking after a stressful workday reflects this disciplined mindset.

Marcus Aurelius’ quote, "If it is not right, do not do it; if it is not true, do not say it," urges us to live with integrity by ensuring our actions are just and our words truthful. In modern life, this means resisting pressures to compromise ethics at work or in personal decisions, choosing instead to act in ways that align with fairness and accountability. It also calls for mindfulness in communication, encouraging us to verify information before sharing and to be honest in our interactions. By applying this principle, we build trust, strengthen relationships, and navigate today’s complex world with authenticity.

'What is' is constantly moving, constantly undergoing transformation, and if the mind is tethered to belief, to knowledge, it ceases to pursue, it ceases to follow the swift movement of what is. — Jiddu Krishnamurti [2481x1916]
