Is that you, Diogenes?
Aw, I liked them both :-)

Here's Jesus' take, but looking at a lot of Christians I'm not sure they know how to listen:
Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?
“And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
It seems like Jesus was a hippie stoner with some good wordplay. That's the kinda shit I say, less eloquently and with more giggles, when I'm high.
No they don’t even have the ears to listen to their own teacher.
“Look at a buncha flowers? What are you? A gay?”
Does anyone know where exactly these quotes are?
That's from Matthew 6, it's part of the "sermon on the mount" edit to add the sermon on the mount is Mt. 5-7.
Thanks
Well that got intense towards the end.
You don't have to go places if you're not ready. Start small. Shit on something in your home, maybe start with your desk? Baby steps.
Bull. Supposed to breed. Biology.
Until you also take the whole human shtick of defying nature, then yeah, supposed to do nothing.
Most people who feel like they are supposed to do something is not because they feel obligated by society. It's because they are unhappy and the things you are supposed ti be doing seems to lead to happiness. Some time they are some time they aren't.
But go find a truly happy person and they won't be talking about what they are "supposed" to be doing. The problem is that when people are not happy the obvious though is changing something in life to find happiness in it.
Idk dude the happiest people I know all have purpose and an underlying sense of their place in life. It's not one that's necessarily given by society
Every person I've known that has lived to 90+ have remained active and working in some capacity. Once they're no longer able to do that, they die soon after.
Having a purpose is a good thing.
I don't know a lot of happy people, a lot of them uses fake masks to cover all the shit. Not my close family or friends at least...
Die if you break a leg or get an infection.
So, 99.996% of human history? BTW, breaking a leg wasn't necessarily a death sentence, though you'll think it is if you ever break your femur. Ever been so fucked you couldn't crawl?
Plenty of archeological evidence of healed femurs, and other bones, that indicate the tribe must have taken care of their wounded.
Well, bones heal if there are some love from your close community members for a time.
This post brings me amounts of peace.
have done. do recommend.
Okay first off birds are assholes. There is not a bird on this planet who is not a complete and total asshole. So if this is a missive telling people to live your life like a bird then I'm here to say don't. Don't live like a bird because birds are absolutely assholes, please don't be an asshole too.
This is Wilson. 
He used to live in a separate apartment always outside, under LED lights that were forever on, never covered, and in a small cage with only one toy. He would whistle to me when I was on my walk, and was quiet until he saw me. I knew this cause if I took another way I would never hear him. But if I turned the normal corner he would immediately start doing our whistle
So after a while, I eventually left a note on the people's door and asked to buy him. Well, a week later i got a text askign to meet up in an hour. When I get there they open the door, hand me the bird, and go on thier way.
I don't even know the birds name, but he's mine now.
But long story short(ish), Wilson is the best bird and even non bird people love him. I don't know how to explain it, but he is a whole living conscious person. He immediately flew to my shoulder and stays their pretty often now. He has his own backpack with a perch and comes on road trips. My nephew is now obsessed with and constantly get disciplined by other birds.
Most birds may be assholes, but Wilson is definitely the exception.
The exception that proves the rule. Fucking assholes.
If you’re at that point you could look into disability. There’s plenty of mental disorders to pick from.
Spending your time making money for some company in order to buy things that have been shoved in your face as needs while also spending money on the commodification of actual needs is more of a mental disorder than trying to live small.
