I'd be interested to know what plants or resin was being tested.
But. Thanks for it anyway.

Oh, I'm not so sure about that!
There were many regional varieties that could mess with your mind, soul and body.
There was something from Kashmir that turned you inside out and upside down .

Nobody has the balls to do the sensible thing.

The smell of books, the choice of reading material, the peace and quiet.
As a small girl, I scoured the library for spell books, convinced that they'd be there.
I did find one or two.

We are through a glass darkly, in the beautiful city of Cahors, on le petit train touristique.
You can just about see me and the dog and the back of the husband's head.

The only way I can think of is to somehow incentivise kindness.
Until people see that kindness has a good effect.
As to how this could be achieved practically, maybe some kind of citizenship scheme that lowers college fees or grocery shopping.
Big cultural shifts aren't easy.

But why are they so callous and selfish?
This is the issue that needs to be addressed.

The targeted $28B is just the opening salvoโ€”meant to kick off negotiations. But if you start hearing serious talk about the EU bringing out the "bazooka," then itโ€™s time to really start worrying.

I think Seneca was painting with a very broad brush.
While the statement may have a 'big picture' veracity, it's far more nuanced and complex.
