Bug Hunter Cat<p>I distrust almost everything, especially when it comes to humans. I distrust people aligned with ideologies or beliefs, but also those who say they don't believe in anything. I distrust those who have no ethics or morals, but also those who do. <br>Humanity loves conflict, wars, power struggles. Every era of history has had its own great conflicts, wars, revolutions and social confrontations. And every conflict has at least two sides, it's always about "us and them." <br>If you are one of those people who takes sides in every conflict, you are living in a delusion. Wherever there is conflict, there is someone stirring up trouble, someone making waves so that you do not see the reality.<br>Your hate, your outrage, your fear, and all the mental turmoil that all of this generates in you, generates millions in profits for someone. Leaders, the media, experts in almost everything, They have you on your ass all the time fearing for your life and your dignity, day things are being stolen from you while you think you are fighting and advocating for idealistic causes invented to distract you.<br>Distract yourself from what? From the peaceful life you should be living. Because people who are not afraid and live peacefully, don't consume the crap they want to sell them. <br>I refuse to be the cattle of millionaires and powerful people who try to squeeze the lives of others out of greed.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/fanaticism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fanaticism</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ideologies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ideologies</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/beliefs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>beliefs</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>politics</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/idealism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>idealism</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/conflicts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>conflicts</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/wars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wars</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/deception" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>deception</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/freedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>freedom</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/actuallyautistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>actuallyautistic</span></a></p>
WIST Quotations<p><a href="https://wist.info/addison-joseph/53093/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">A quotation from <b>Addison</b></a></p><blockquote>There is nothing in which Men more deceive themselves than in what the World calls Zeal. There are so many Passions which hide themselves under it, and so many Mischiefs arising from it, that some have gone so far as to say it would have been for the Benefit of Mankind if it had never been reckoned in the Catalogue of Virtues. It is certain, where it is once Laudable and Prudential, it is an hundred times Criminal and Erroneous; nor can it be otherwise, if we consider that it operates with equal Violence in all Religions, however opposite they may be to one another, and in all the Subdivisions of each Religion in particular.</blockquote><p><b>Joseph Addison</b> (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman<br>Essay (1711-10-02), <i>The Spectator</i>, No. 185</p> <p>Sourcing, notes: <a href="https://wist.info/addison-joseph/53093/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">wist.info/addison-joseph/53093…</a></p><p><a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quote</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quotes</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quotation</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=commitment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>commitment</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=dedication" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dedication</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=enthusiasm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>enthusiasm</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=fanaticism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fanaticism</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=holywar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>holywar</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=intolerance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>intolerance</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=onetrueway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>onetrueway</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=religion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>religion</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=religiousintolerance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>religiousintolerance</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=religiouspersecution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>religiouspersecution</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=sectarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sectarianism</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=truebeliever" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>truebeliever</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=vice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vice</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=virtue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>virtue</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=zeal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>zeal</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=zealot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>zealot</span></a></p>

WIST Quotations<p><a href="https://wist.info/roosevelt-theodore/74201/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">A quotation from <b>Teddy Roosevelt</b></a></p><blockquote>In a republic, to be successful we must learn to combine intensity of conviction with a broad tolerance of difference of conviction. Wide differences of opinion in matters of religious, political, and social belief must exist if conscience and intellect alike are not to be stunted, if there is to be room for healthy growth. Bitter internecine hatreds, based on such differences, are signs not of earnestness of belief but of that fanaticism which, whether religious or anti-religious, democratic or anti-democratic, is itself but a manifestation of the gloomy bigotry which has been the chief factor in the downfall of so many, many nations.</blockquote><p><b>Theodore Roosevelt</b> (1858-1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901-1909)<br>Speech (1910-04-23), “Citizenship in a Republic [The Man in the Arena],” Sorbonne, Paris</p><p>Sourcing, notes: <a href="https://wist.info/roosevelt-theodore/74201/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">wist.info/roosevelt-theodore/7…</a></p><p><a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quote</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quotes</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quotation</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=beliefs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>beliefs</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=bigotry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bigotry</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=conviction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>conviction</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=coexistence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>coexistence</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=democracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>democracy</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=differences" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>differences</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=division" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>division</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=fanaticism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fanaticism</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=growth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>growth</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=hatred" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hatred</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=opinion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>opinion</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=republic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>republic</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=tolerance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tolerance</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=tribalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tribalism</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=zeal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>zeal</span></a></p>
