I am very confused about this website. I like Pandas and Penguins

I love reading but I can never comfortably read a book. This has been a dilemma my entire life. I would read indefinitely if I could just get COMFORTABLE. AHHHH what is this curse?

This man’s name is Dobre. A Bulgarian man living in abject poverty, but who has donated over 20,000 euros to the Bulgarian Orthodox Church. Everyday, he stands in the church and begs, but not for himself. All money given to him, he gathers and donates to the church. He is the biggest individual donor to the church in the past few decades. He walks several kilometers to the church each morning, and several kilometers back at the closing of each day. He is known as “The Righteous from Bajlovo”, and has entered the 99th year of his life.

LITERALLY ONE OF MY FAVORITE PHILOSOPHIES AND LIFE STYLES. I even wrote a paper on Wabi Sabi in Virginia Woolf.Wabi-Sabi | Japanese concept | Meaning: “a way of living that focuses on finding beauty within the imperfections of life and accepting peacefully the natural cycle of growth and decay.”

The attributes we call pretty and beautiful are literally just things that are different from other people. If we see beauty for what it really is, then truly everyone is beautiful—and that’s not meant as a quasi-feel-good statement. It is truth. Everyone is beautiful
I really find it base and sophomoric when people constantly make sandwich jokes (among other ones). The level of misogyny in society must be pretty high when people can make jokes about a women’s place and actually kind of mean it. I find it cowardly of men to suggest a “woman’s place” when they aren’t even men or have found a “man’s place” but instead behave like little boys. Real men respect women and make sandwiches for women. Boys have their food made for them. Think about that next time before you make a kitchen, sandwich, or generally degrading to women joke. Women are equal to men in dignity and are not subservient to men. Men know this. Boys do not. In fact every girl is a princess, and you know what? Princesses have things done for them by their prince. Or if the princess wants to do something by herself she can. why? Because she’s a princess and can do what she likes because princesses are awesome and kick-ass (I know this now thanks to Tangled). They aren’t snow whites who wait for things to come to them, they go out and get it. So boys, be men and the princes you are called to be, treat women like princesses. And women be the princesses you are supposed to be, and find yourself someone deserving of you.
Don’t settle for the pauper constantly asking for “sammiches”
Been reading Thomas Merton. Gotta say, it’s pretty good.
