I am an archetypal fool… and apparently Twitch Partner. I have a sleep disorder so I tend to go live on Twitch 9pm-2am Pacific Time: https://www.twitch.tv/gavitrongaming

"I can't give you a surefire formula for success, but I can give you a formula for failure: try to please everybody all the time."

-Herbert Bayard Swope

“We don’t see things as they are; we see them as we are.”

-Anaïs Nin

"By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest."

-Confucius

"Moral virtues come from habits. They are not in us neither by nature, nor in despite of nature, but we are furnished by nature with a capacity for receiving them, and we develop them through habit. These virtues we acquire first by exercising them, as in the case of other arts. Whatever we learn to do, we learn by actually doing it: men come to be builders, for instance, by building, and harp players by playing the harp. In the same way by doing just acts we come to be just; by doing self-controlled acts, we come to be self-controlled; and by doing brave acts, we come to be brave."

-Aristotle

"One cannot be what one should be merely by closing one's eyes to what one is."

Sangharakshita

“The eyes of a poet discover in each person a unique and irreplaceable humanity. While arrogant intellect seeks to control and manipulate the world, the poetic spirit bows with reverence before its mysteries.”

—Daisaku Ikeda

[Essay, “Restoring our connections with the world,” in Embracing the Future]

Travis Bacon and my highschool buddy at a wedding on my phone lock screen.

“Trust is built on promises kept. The most important thing in gaining the trust of others is to keep our promises. By keeping our promises, even if those to whom we’ve made them have forgotten, we come to establish our own path, creed, and character.”

-Daisaku Ikeda

“There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.”

-Edith Wharton

It’s a Clickhole post, got a bunch of people in a crowd then text below the picture that reads: “being surrounded by beautiful people living their lives to the fullest while dancing to world class recording artists at the cultural event of the summer? No thanks Lollapalooza, I’ll be CONTRIBUTING TO TOXIC CULTURE ONLINE.”

“Whatever happens around you, don’t take it personally… Nothing other people do is because of you. It is because of themselves. All people live in their own dream, in their own mind; they are in a completely different world from the one we live in. When we take something personally, we make the assumption that they know what is in our world, and we try to impose our world on their world.”

-Don Miguel Ruiz

“I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence.”

-Frederick Douglass

Me and my buddy, Jake.

“Among the maxims on Lord Naoshige's wall there was this one: "Matters of great concern should be treated lightly." Master lttei commented, "Matters of small concern should be treated seriously."

-Yamamoto Tsunetomo

Luna: it says “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”

-Viktor E. Frankl

Luna: it says “The very purpose of spirituality is self-discipline. Rather than criticizing others, we should evaluate and criticize ourselves. Ask yourself, what am I doing about my anger, my attachment, my pride, my jealousy? These are the things we should check in our day to day lives.“

-The Dalai Lama

Luna: its a clip of me sitting at the base of my fridge, pretending to drink from an empty flask, surrounded by garbage bags, and my broom falls on me.

Luna: it says “We are deluded by attachment and anger, but we can learn to tackle these emotions. Anger can be reduced if we work to cultivate love and affection. However, we first have to come to terms with whatever benefits or disadvantages anger may bring. Primarily, anger destroys our peace of mind; loving-kindness earns us friends and eliminates the risk of being alone.”

-The Dalai Lama

Luna: it says “Even more important than the warmth and affection we receive, is the warmth and affection we give. It is by giving warmth and affection, by having a genuine sense of concern for others, in other words through compassion, that we gain the conditions for genuine happiness. More important than being loved, therefore, is to love.“

-Dalai Lama

Luna: it’s a picture of a bunch of hot sauces and shot glasses on my living room coffee table. You can see screens, paintings, guitars, and a volcano vaporizer in the background.

Luna: it says “Nature bore us related to one another … She instilled in us a mutual love and made us compatible … Let us hold everything in common; we stem from a common source. Our fellowship is very similar to an arch of stones, which would fall apart, if they did not reciprocally support each other.”

-Seneca

Luna: The picture shows a schedule for a charity raid train.

Sadhguru

-Herodotus

-Tim Rogers

Luna: it says “Meditation is the discovery that the point of life is always arrived at in the immediate moment.”

-Alan Watts

Luna: it says “What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday, and our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow. Our life is the creation of our mind.”

–Buddha

Luna: it says “Living an exuberant life is only possible when you are able to dance upon the uncertainties of life.”

-Sadhguru

Luna: I’m in the biggest car in Florida.

Luna: it says “Even when someone finds themselves in a vulnerable position, if they are surrounded by people who are prepared to share that challenge with them, it becomes possible to find a way forward. The way in which we experience even such conditions as poverty or illness can be profoundly transformed simply by the knowledge that we have the support of others. This is a core tenet of Buddhist philosophy.”

—Daisaku Ikeda [2020 Peace Proposal]

Luna: I’m surrounded by trash and drinking fireball.

Luna: I made the Twitch Plus Program level one. 60/40 split on subscription revenue.

Luna: it says "The strong manly ones in life are those who understand the meaning of the word patience. Patience means restraining one's inclinations. There are seven emotions: joy, anger, anxiety, adoration, grief, fear, and hate, and if a man does not give way to these he can be called patient. I am not as strong as I might be, but I have long known and practiced patience. And if my descendants wish to be as I am, they must study patience."

-Tokugawa Ieyasu

Luna: it says "I can't give you a surefire formula for success, but I can give you a formula for failure: try to please everybody all the time."

-Herbert Bayard Swope

Luna: it says “‘The best thing for being sad,’ replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, ‘is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn.’”

-Merlin, from The Once and Future King by T.H. White

Luna: I got an email at 2:10pm on Monday, February 23rd saying I was invited to the Twitch Partner Program.
