i recently had a fight (sort of) with a friend and we aren't in talking terms rn, simply because he hasn't apologised to me and thinks that being all pitiful will move something within me- he doesn't understand that he'd be able to earn my forgiveness simply by (thoroughly) apologising.

and when he texted me earlier, it basically went like "hi (me), how are you?" "hi, all good, wbu?" "[long-ass text related to the burden that his daily task represent]" "damn, no comment" "yeah ikr"

that's all.

...exactly what am i supposed to do with any of this? fyi it's even more awkward in italian. i'm stumped.

#honest: am i the bad guy here bc i refuse to forgive him for the umpenth time unless he apologises #or is he the bad guy for playing the pity card? #human relationships

For all that I love living alone because of the peace and quiet and never having to worry abt whether a roommate is gonna be trustworthy etc, when I'm totally overcome with The Weakness(tm) from one of my illnesses I direly wish there were someone around to refill my water bottle, turn off the lights and bring me a blanket/sweater or adjust the thermostat. My cat is a great comfort, but she doesn't have opposable thumbs.

I can very suddenly go from simply tired to a state wherein no matter how uncomfortable I am or how important a task, I can't move. I hope I would be able to crawl across the floor if the building were on fire, but I pray to the gods that I never have to find out. Knowing that if that happened there'd be someone else to grab my cat and either help me drag myself out or tell the first responders about my sorry ass would take a weight off my mind.

Truthfully, I don't even think most humans are for lack of a better word "supposed" to live alone. We're a hypersocial species adapted to live in mutually caring communities where people allow each other enough autonomy and space that we aren't desperate to escape, with vast formal or informal support networks wherein everyone's contributions are valued and everyone's needs are seen as simply a part of life instead of some kind of moral failing.

But I don't have that kind of community and so far, total solitude has been preferable to the family and roommates I've had. Out of the choices available to me, I'd rather sometimes have to crumple up on my couch feeling thirsty and cold and unable to fully shut the light out of my eyes than deal with people who are violent or exploitative or who don't believe my limitations are real etc etc.

The dynamics of any human relationship is exactly as the dynamics that exist between a musician and his instrument. For a song to be created, there must be command and surrendering. The musician will tap his hand several times on the drum to see how the tone develops, where the pitch is building so as to translate well the melody he has inside his soul. The drum has to merely surrender, trusting the hands of the musician. Or take example of any other instrument, from violin to guitar to flute - each of these must learn to trust and surrender to the hands and the mouth of the musician as he tests and plays as would bring out the best effect to meet the melody he's hearing inside himself. The dynamics of human relationship also needs to run in the same manner. When one is taking the lead to create a song, then the other has to simply close the eyes and trust, to surrender into the hands of the musician. Be that a man or woman, either of them could keep interchanging the roles of one guiding and the other surrendering. There's no other way their inner music could find its fruition. My hands these days are incessantly tapping every surface from the wooden doors to steel structures to plastic surfaces - each object has a unique music of its own that needs to be drawn out just with the right tapping, in the right fashion, with the right timing. Music is already there, you just have to draw it out with your fingers. Love is already there, you just have to focus your heart, on the heart at the other end...

The Quest for Buddhism (85)

Teachings to Singhala, the path of humanity - Avoid 14 evil ways

Sighala Sutta

The '4 acts of defilement (Ref)', which has been presented in parts one to three, is an excerpt of Sighala sutta ( or Sigalovada sutta).

This is the content of Buddha's teaching on the path of humanity to the son of a wealthy man named Singhala, as recorded in the Digha Nikaya.

There are many sutras that describe detailed rules of precepts for practising monks, but this sutra is unique in that it describes rules of conduct, precepts, rather for people living a secular life.

Buddhaghosa, a great scholar of Southern Buddhism who emerged around the 5th century, has referred to this sutta as "the Vinaya [Buddhist code of discipline] of the householder." He also said, “There is nothing in this sutra that is not preached. Therefore, if one listens to this scripture and does as it is taught, only prosperity is to be expected and there can be no decline.”

The Sighala Sutta takes place when Buddha encountered a youth called Sigala, a son of property owner in his morning stroll. Buddha then, based on Sigala's point of view, taught him how a noble one (Pali: ariya) should worship the six directions.

The six directions taught by the Buddha refer to human relationships: parents in the east, teachers in the south, a wife in the west, friends/companions in the north, servants in the lower regions and practitioners in the upper regions.

シンガーラへの教え・人間としての道 〜 十四の罪悪からの離脱

シンガーラ経 (巴: ｼﾝｶﾞｰﾗ･ｽｯﾀ)

第1部から第3部までご紹介してきた「四つの行為の汚れ（参照）」は、シンガーラ経の抜粋である。

これは、長部 (ちょうぶ、巴:ディーガ・ニカーヤ)に記されている、ブッダがシンガーラというある資産家の息子に対して人間の道として教えた、その内容である。

修行僧のための細かい戒律を記した経典は数多くあるが、この経典は、むしろ世俗の生活を送る人々のための行動規範、戒律を記した点が特徴的である。

5世紀ごろに登場した、南方仏教の��僧ブッダゴーサは、この経典を「家人の戒律(梵: ｳﾞｨﾔｰﾅ)」と呼んでいる。彼は「この経典のうちに説かれていないものは何もない。それ故にこの経典を聞いて、教えられたとおりに実行するならは、繁栄のみが」期待されて、衰滅することはありえない」と述べている。

シンガーラ経は、釈迦が朝の散歩中に、資産家の息子であるシンガーラという青年に出会ったときの話である。 釈迦はシンガーラの視点に基づき、高貴な者 (巴: ｱﾘﾔｰ) がどのように六道を拝むべきかを説いたのである。このとき仏陀が教えた六道とは、東は父母、南は師匠、西は妻、北は友人、下方は召使、上方は修行者のことである。つまり人間関係全般についてである。

"Euripides' Electra: A Timeless Tragedy of Vengeance and Redemption"

In Gilbert Murray's evocative translation of Euripides' timeless Greek tragedy, "Electra," the spirit of ancient drama is vividly brought to life. Set against the backdrop of familial betrayal and revenge, Murray's translation captures the essence of the original work, allowing contemporary readers to delve into the emotional depths of a classic tale.

The play unfolds with Electra, daughter of King Agamemnon, harboring a deep-seated resentment for her mother, Clytemnestra, and her stepfather, Aegisthus, who conspired to murder her father upon his return from the Trojan War. The narrative is woven with themes of justice, retribution, and the intricate complexities of human relationships.

Murray's translation strikes a delicate balance, preserving the poetic beauty of Euripides' language while making it accessible to a modern audience. The dialogue crackles with intensity as characters grapple with the moral consequences of their actions. Electra's grief and seething anger resonate powerfully, making her a compelling protagonist navigating the treacherous waters of vengeance.

The dramatic tension builds steadily, culminating in a gripping climax that explores the consequences of relentless pursuit of justice. Murray's translation masterfully captures the psychological nuances of the characters, inviting readers to empathize with their struggles and dilemmas.

"Euripides' Electra" remains relevant across centuries, offering a profound exploration of human nature, morality, and the enduring quest for justice. Gilbert Murray's translation ensures that the play's emotional depth and intellectual richness are not lost in translation, making it a compelling read for both scholars and those new to classical Greek literature.

"Electra," of Euripides skillfully translated by Gilbert Murray is available in Amazon in paperback 10.99$ and hardcover 18.99$ editions.

Οι έρωτες πάνε κι έρχονται!

Το πιο σημαντικό σε αυτή τη ζωή είναι οι φίλοι.

Είναι η οικογένεια που επιλέγεις, οι επίγειοι φύλακες άγγελοι.

Είναι αυτοί που δεν σε κρίνουν.

Που ακούν το πρόβλημά σου, χωρίς να σου λένε το αντίστοιχο δικό τους για να αποδείξουν ότι "ξέρουν" ή ότι "το έχουν περάσει χειρότερα".

Που είναι εκεί και στα καλά και στα άσχημα.

Που είναι ειλικρινείς και δεν σου χρυσώνουν το χάπι.

Δεν χωράει εγωισμός στη φιλία! Ούτε συμφέρον! Ούτε ζήλια!

Η φιλία είναι καθαρή ανθρώπινη αγάπη, φροντίδα, προσοχή.

Είναι αυτό το "ρε μαλάκα" που κρύβει τόσο νοιάξιμο μέσα σε μια οικειότητα χωρίς παρεξηγήσεις.

Και είναι τόσο σπάνια, Θεέ μου, τόσο σπάνια!

Το βασίλειό μου για μια αληθινή φιλία...

Είναι ένας πραγματικός πλούτος ακόμα και όταν δεν έχεις τίποτα!!!

Sometimes it's your fault. Sometimes you have to deal with the fact that you're imperfect and you make mistakes. But it's okay, you learn. You'll improve.

Sometimes it's not. Sometimes you have to accept that you're a victim and you didn't deserve such a bad treatment, but life's unfair and people are dumbs. But it's okay, you heal. You'll be fine.

Sometimes it's no one's fault. Sometimes the stars weren't aligned and the universe put you in the wrong place at the wrong time. Everyone's hurting and everyone needs peace and healing, there's no one to blame except the circumstances. But it's okay. You all will feel better.

Sometimes it's everyone's fault. Sometimes you're both the victim and the responsible, you were as hurting as you harmed the others but you couldn't see it then. Now you can, and you're sorry, and they're sorry too, but the damages are done. But it's okay. You will forgive each other.

And sometimes, sometimes you have to make peace with the idea that you will always be the bad guy in someone's story because you have bad guys in your own too. Sometimes you need to accept that not everyone is entitled to forgive your mistakes. Sometimes you feel like it will never be okay again for the people you hurt. But you will be. You keep going, you keep improving, you keep apologizing, you keep growing, you keep becoming the best version of yourself. You will never be perfect, no one can. But you still allowed to try.

“Intelligence is one of the greatest human gifts. But all too often a search for knowledge drives out the search for love. This is something else I've discovered for myself very recently. I present it to you as a hypothesis: Intelligence without the ability to give and receive affection leads to mental and moral breakdown, to neurosis, and possibly even psychosis. And I say that the mind absorbed in and involved in itself as a self-centered end, to the exclusion of human relationships, can only lead to violence and pain.”

― Daniel Keyes, Flowers for Algernon

what’s the point in forming human relationships if they’re not going to go how you want them to?

Miscommunication is the killer of great opportunities.

Occasionally, you meet someone with the same fire in their soul, but due to the unclear communication between the two of you - texting, implications, beating around the bush - your messages simply get misinterpreted.

Communicate clearly: feel it, own it and have the courage to say what is in fact on your mind. Be unapologetic about who you are and be brave enough to tell them what you want and think, instead of letting them come up with their own conclusions.

It’s cool to be vulnerable and it’s essential to try to articulate your feelings. It won’t make you seem weak, rather portrays strength, confidence and an open mind with the willingness to improve.

If you made a mistake, act like an adult and say it. Take responsibility and forget about your pride for a second - “pride is the enemy of honest communication”.

Take initiative, reciprocate, listen and reflect. If you’re unsure about something: ask.

Don’t miss out on someone with great potential by making such unnecessary and easily avoidable mistakes.

I was impatient, troubled by this woman who was so hard to understand. I wanted to keep her safe, or so I told myself, but maybe I fool myself too; maybe 'keep' was the problem. I learn things hard and slow. Man, you need to give deep feelings of affection and care, not keep them.

We won’t speak of it any more, my dear,” said Pierre, and his gentle, cordial tone suddenly seemed very strange to Natásha.

“We won’t speak of it, my dear—I’ll tell him everything; but one thing I ask of you, ...consider me your friend, and if you need help, advice, or simply to pour out your soul to somebody - not now, but when your soul is clear - remember me!” He took her hand and kissed it. “I shall be happy if I am able...”

Pierre grew confused.

“Don’t speak to me like that. I am not worth it!” exclaimed Natásha and turned to leave the room, but Pierre held her hand.
