#Plato was once asked two questions.
The first, “What are the behaviours of people that surprise you the most?”
Plato replied “They get bored in childhood and hurry to grow up but then they miss their childhood. They lose their health to earn money but they pay money to regain their health. Worried about tomorrow, they forget about today.
In the end, they live neither today nor tomorrow. They live as if they will never die, but they die as if they have never lived.”
The second question was, “What do you suggest?”
The sage replied, “Don’t try to get anyone to like you, the only thing to do is to leave yourself to be loved. And the most important thing in life is not to have the most, but to need the least.”
Plato, whose real name was actually Aristocles, was a brilliant philosopher who lived in Greece around 2,400 years ago.
These excerpts from the Dialogues of Plato highlight that the modern lifestyle currently plaguing humanity isn’t actually very modern at all. #Philosophy #Nostr #Bitcoin

Let's face it, sometimes we all need to speak our minds. But, let's do it in a way that doesn't start a war. Tact is basically the superpower of saying what you think without turning everyone against you. It's about choosing your words wisely, being considerate, and knowing when to pick your battles.
Think of it like this: You can be honest and direct, but you don't have to be a total buzzkill. Tact helps you navigate tricky situations with grace and finesse. It's the difference between saying, "You're wrong," and saying, "I see it differently."
In a world full of heated debates and online trolls, a little tact can go a long way. So, let's all strive to be a bit more tactful. It's a skill worth mastering, and it'll make your life (and the lives of those around you) a lot more pleasant.

🥃 Today marks the anniversary of the Bitcoin #whitepaper , a revolutionary document published by Satoshi Nakamoto that laid the foundation for a decentralized, peer-to-peer digital currency. In just nine pages, Satoshi outlined a system that empowers individuals, bypasses traditional financial intermediaries, and offers an alternative to centralized monetary control. Since its release, Bitcoin has sparked a global movement, forever changing how we think about money, trust, and value.
