Thankfully, most of your followers should be sharp enough to catch on.

The greatest aspect of America’s legacy is that #America makes obvious the following insight:
“A good man, though a slave, is free; but a wicked man, though a king, is a slave. For he serves, not one man alone, but what is worse, as many masters as he has vices.” ― Augustine of Hippo, City of God
Just a thought after celebrating #freedom on #Independence Day…

100% millennials will either give rise to new expressions of heroism and virtue or they will be crushed. Perfect conditions for greatness…

God is a patient teacher, and I, a most stubborn pupil.

It were well if none remained boys all their lives; but what is more common than the sight of grown men, talking on political or moral or religious subjects, in that offhand, idle way, which we signify by the word unreal ? “That they simply do not know what they are talking about” is the spontaneous silent remark of any man of sense who hears them. Hence such persons have no difficulty in contradicting themselves in successive sentences, without being conscious of it… Hence others can never look straight before them, never see the point, and have no difficulties in the most difficult subjects. Others are hopelessly obstinate and prejudiced, and, after they have been driven from their opinions, return to them the next moment without even an attempt to explain why. Others are so intemperate and intractable that there is no greater calamity for a good cause than that they should get hold of it. - John Henry Newman, The Idea of the University

Pensé: when Socrates said “I know that I know nothing” he taught that true wisdom was found in humbly knowing oneself to be a mere student of wisdom.
Wisdom is not a static object that can be obtained, but a dynamic state of being one may enter into. A state of being ever disposed to a further and deeper entry into wisdom.
To be wise then, is to empty oneself of the conceit of being wise already—the conceit of the fool—and to instead know oneself to be no greater than the fool…
This is why wisdom is one of the chief virtues of kings and all leaders of man.
Good leadership requires humility. Humility makes possible wisdom.

I’m new to this and I honestly don’t know how NOSTR doesn’t already have millions more users.

#1 factor probably SHOULD be that its something I find interesting, or that its about something to which I might contribute a valuable thought… But more realistically, #1 factor is always if it provokes enough of an emotional response from me.

Would this work in/for nicaragüenses? I’d like to figure out how to smoothly onboard some friends and family onto bitcoin en Nicaragua.
