“Love risks the relationship for the sake of the person.” Brent shares many truths for men, this stood out the most.

My ancestors buried half their children. All mine are alive. My ancestors' house had a dirt floor. Mine is wood. I have indoor plumbing, I have hot water, I have never in my life hauled a full bucket half a mile and I probably never will. Do you know how rare it is, in human history, for small children to wear shoes? Mine have multiple pairs. I can speak to my relatives who live thousands of miles away, for free, at any time. Video, if we want video. With machine translation, if we speak different languages. The original Library of Congress had 740 books in it. I have more than that. If I run out of books in my home my local public library has 350,000. If I want to take a hundred books with me on vacation, they all fit on a device that fits in my purse. I have heat in the winter and AC in the summer and a washing machine and I have never, ever, ever had to scrub a dress clean by hand in the stream. I can look up recipes from more than a hundred different countries and I've tried dozens of them. I ride a clean and modern train across my city for $4, or take a robot taxi if I'm out too late for the train. I donate $40,000 every year to the cause of getting healthcare to the world's poorest people and even after the donations I never have to think about whether I can afford a book, or a pair of shoes, or a cup of coffee. There is a great deal more to fight for, of course. I hope that our descendants will look back on our lives and list a thousand ways they're richer. Maybe we ourselves will do that, if some of the crazier stuff comes true. But the abundance is all around you and to a significant degree you aren't feeling it only because fish don't notice water.

It’s an elite mindset to live like everything is going to work out. Not necessarily being blindly optimistic, but just knowing whatever happens, you’ll figure it out

@LoveIreland3 Oh my. I've spent about three months visiting different parts of your island, but never to the Wicklow mountains. I'll have to remedy that.

@united, you are not letting me sit next to my wife unless I pay to change seats? This is the second trip this year that you have charged us extra to sit together. Awful business.

@united hi united. Marcella, your agent at H15 in Miami wouldn’t let me sit with my wife. We had to book separately for work, and she was horrendous. Awful customer service and care.

@mvarghoose I cannot imagine, and am so grateful I don't have to navigate today’s dating world.

@AffordAnything Yep 💯

@LoveIreland3 No! And I’ve been to Ireland three times, once for two months.

Have you heard about the breathtaking Gleniff Horseshoe?

@elmo elmo this is a great idea and what I do too. on nights where I plan on staying up past my bedtime, I'll take a nap. this is sleep banking and is superior to sleep debt. it clears out metabolic waste and lowers the stress signal.

I shared this in my newsletter yesterday, but today, I want to share it right here in the belly of the beast. I’m asking all of you to go on an extreme crash diet. This is not a crash diet for your nutrition…those don’t work. This is a diet for your mind. It will work.

The single best advice I ever got on conversation is “ask questions the other person will enjoy answering” which sounds insultingly obvious, but almost nobody does it, and it instantly makes conversations vastly more fun.

This bodes ill. Readers used to outnumber non-readers 2 to 1. Now non-readers outnumber readers 3 to 1. It's hard to imagine a change of that magnitude not having significant effects.

Situated in the rural Galway landscape stands what would have been once one of the largest ecclesiastical settlements in Ireland. This is the well preserved medieval ruin of the 14th century Ross Errilly Friary! 😯💚 📸 @UpInTheEire_ 📍 Ross Errilly Friary, Headford #Galway
