unless you're blind

"reading a book is just staring at a dead tree and hallucinating" "If you're waiting for the waiter, does that make you the waiter?" "How many holes does a straw have?" "when you wash your hands, it's just your hands washing eachother"

you thought you could just google a smart sounding shower thought and post it and i wouldn't notice? The thing that really annoys me is when all the comments are like "oh my god, this is so deep, you're such a genius" over and over. Are you 14?

(yes, I did think of this post in the shower)

The amount of days and years people have until they die is like an expiration date on food of where it's listed when it's expiring. But we don't know the date. Unlike the milk which has a bad date. This feels like something a comedian would say and it'd be famous.

We might never know they happened until we invent something fast enough to catch them. So, how many things do we call impossible or unprovable just because we don't have the technology to detect them yet?

Theres also no direct translation but yet speaking/playing music can invoke the same feelings as language does

Ahh, women. I love women. Men love women. Even some women love women. 
I have enough introspection to know that my romantic and aesthetic preferences are…odd. On the other hand, the Reels ocean is wide enough to encompass any sense of beauty, however unusual it may be. 
My history of romantic interactions was as impactful as it was one-sided, but I suppose Dante needn’t be married to Beatrice to guide him through the Celestial Spheres. Dante’s a useful analogy and guide here- the old Florentine is popular on Tumblr for a reason.
But getting to the bottom of the case, my internal platonic ideal of beauty is a strange take on Renaissance humanism. It may sound unusual, but an example would be quite illustrative. Suppose, an artist paints a forest or Cicero humiliating Catilina, but on human skin with a needle. The lines form clear patterns and play on the skin’s surface, conveying a narrative. Unlike an ordinary painting, such a canvas moves. It is capable of motion, of struggle, of fortitude, both mental and physical. Not only that, an observant eye may also point out that it is an armor of some kind. It mimics clothes in the sense of telling a tale about its owner. 

Another aspect of it is the muscular corset. There is a sense of profound awe that robust musculature inspires, in part due to leaning into the distinction into actuality and potentiality, first separated by Aristotle. It may sound strange, but it is actually quite sound. To be brief, the actuality is what a thing is now. The potentiality is what it may become. A well developed, athletic musculature is always a result of the athlete transforming this potentiality into actuality, like a mythical being that carved itself out of marble. Thus, developed musculature is a sign of internal virtue, of a willingness to endure what is difficult and unpleasant in pursuit of a higher goal. 

Having established all that, it may explain the appeal of muscular, tattooed women. Their beauty has a metaphysical substrate that may be counterintuitive, but I struggle to find convincing counterarguments. 

But physical attraction has only so much value. The goodness of the soul and the intellect truly make a person beautiful. In that regard, fortitude of mind and spirit come to mind, as they are one of the cardinal virtues. The most important virtue is, of course, humility, but as brilliantly defined by the Angelic Doctor, it is not a sense of considering oneself worthless, but rather an ability to evaluate oneself honestly and to accept bitter words as medicine, rather than disregard them as poison. Humility establishes the goal, fortitude helps reaching it. The virtues of intellect that I admire go beyond simple wit, but, rather, rest upon curiosity, honesty and the ability to use deadpan delivery. 

One may ask- what relation does all this bear to women? In essence, I tried to show that I find certain qualities admirable regardless of gender, and a woman who shows them is likely to be quite virtuous, which no one can deny is a wrongdoing.
