If you treat something rare as if it were ordinary, you’ll kill it. It holds true for civilizations, institutions, relationships, even pets and plants. If something is of value, you have to actively protect it, because ultimately everything not saved will be lost. No exceptions.
What's the best piece of advice you've ever received?

“Cuando ser justo y honrado tenga un precio, páguenlo. Cuando perdonar parezca una derrota, perdonen.” Gran discurso de León XIV. Para la historia. La libertad no está en vivir sin compromisos, sino en tener algo por lo que valga la pena entregar la vida. Extraordinario.

The “jokes” about Charlie Kirk are heinous for reasons that have nothing to do with the fact that I agree with his politics. There is just something especially callous and soulless about gloating over a brutal, bloody murder we all saw with our own eyes. He was a young man and father of young children. We saw him get shot in the neck. The blood pour out. The natural human reaction when seeing something so violent, bloody, and shocking is to be moved and shaken by it. If instead you’re gloating and joking, it shows that this human part of you is dead. You truly are a soulless goblin in a way that’s only vaguely distinguishable from the guy who actually committed the murder. That’s what makes your callousness so disturbing for those of us who still have souls. We’re human and you no longer are. And that makes you a monstrosity to us. We’re not “offended” so much as revolted by the sight of you. You’ve become the spiritual equivalent of a maggot eaten corpse. You are a grotesquery, a morally disfigured beast.

Justamente por eso tenía que ir a Uruguay
Replying to @itsrodrii_
Error del Papa ir a Uruguay.... Ese país está perdido. Mientras en Argentina, Perú o Bolivia éramos millones a intentar verlo.

Conclusión de la llegada del papa a Montevideo 🚨 La suciedad es decisión política 🚨 La inseguridad es decisión política 🚨 Los grafitis es decisión política 🚨 El pasto largo es decisión política 🚨 La dejadez es opcional y es una decisión política.

Érase una vez una nación Ilamada Persia Dieron refugio a 4.000 musulmanes 100 años después, todos los parsis habían sido exterminados Hoy esa nación es Irán. Solo pensé que deberías saberlo

Metió preso a Jair Bolsonaro y a los 7 minutos de ganar la elección mandó a meter preso a el principal opositor y contrincante. Lo de Brasil es una dictadura sin lugar a dudas. Lula maneja a su antojo la justicia que la llenó de sus amigos. Los zurdos y periodistas calladitos

Há 300 macacos e um piloto em um avião. Os macacos votam que o avião deve ser pousado por um deles. Eles vencem por maioria de 300 a 1. O avião cai. A democracia não funciona quando os macacos são a maioria. Fim.
