“”

Great Mark Twain quotes! My favorite ones:

“No woman or man really knows what perfect love is until they have been married a quarter of a century.”

“Courage is resistanceto fear, mastery of fear—not absence of fear.”

“To get the full value of joy you must have someone to divide it with.”

“Loyalty to country—always. Loyalty to government—when it deserves it.”

“When in doubt—tell the truth.”

“By trying, we can easily endure adversity.”

“No civilization can be perfect until the exact equality between men and women is included.”

“An honest man in politics shines more than he would elsewhere.”

“Be careless in your dress if you must, but keep a tidy soul.”

“Do not complain about growing old. It is a privilege denied to many.”

“An intelligent person never shares three things with anyone—their innermost fears, past regrets, and ultimate excuse for showing up late.”

The Human Future: A Case For Optimism

Great video by Melody Sheep which presents three futures for humanity:

  • Extinction
  • Stagnation
  • Transcendence

Extinction is always a possibility, but humanity could survive (& potentially bounce back) if reduced from billions to millions.

Personally, I believe humanity will expand to the Moon in the near future, & Mars by the end of the century, & the moons of Ganymede & Callisto (orbiting Jupiter), as well as Titan (who orbits Saturn).

As far as large space stations go, I am skeptical of them ever being built due to the economics & competing real estate of terrestrial planets, dwarf planets & moons (as terrestrial worlds will be easier to build upon).

expensiveity:

God, i don’t want to be stagnant. in this same place next year. introduce me to me. help me to see myself the way that you see me. do whatever you need to do in my life that guides me closer to you. and my destiny. heal my heart so my triggers become my testimonies. add or remove whoever or whatever you need to help me grow spiritually. develop in me the character to not just reach the places we talk about but the character to stay in those places.
