Human Nature: the ways humans tend to act, think, feel, and behave.
Frailty: weakness of the spirit, mind, or body.
I am frail when not at ease, through lack of care, or of deterioration within and beyond my control.
Without frailty there is no counterweight of strength. The essence of one requires the other. It is good to be frail and strong, despite my constant attention to avoid the first of these united states of nature.
Hate: extreme disgust and loathing. In human relationships hate inevitably leads to harm.
A man walks into a place of worship and kills as many as he can who represent his hate. His hate is driven by intense insecurity, careless thought and ignorance, is inflamed by the negative rhetoric of others in positions of influence and power, and given opportunity by the acquisition of arms.
Hate results from a perilous deficiency of love: given, needed, or received.
My experience of beauty arises from the nature and limit of my senses; my instinct (things not learned); my value of thought and idea; my characteristics of mind and body; my cultural and social setting; the qualities of form, shape and texture that bestow happiness in me; and my capacity to and for love.
Love is aligned with beauty. Pleasure, with desire. These easily intermingle when thinking of myself.
I experience beauty most intensely when I care for something beyond my power or ownership.
William Shakespeare
A place where one fresh thought is presented every day.
Think This Today is the creation of Mike de Sousa, an artist, writer, and composer.
