In Ancient Greece, Socrates had a great reputation for wisdom. One day, someone came to find the great philosopher and said to him:

"Do you know what I just heard about your friend?"

"A moment," replied Socrates. "Before you tell me, I would like to test it with the three sieves."

"The three sieves?"

"Yes," continued Socrates. "Before you speak about others, it's important to take the time to filter what you mean. I call it the test of the three sieves. The first sieve is TRUTH. Have you checked if what you're going to tell me is true?"

"No, I just heard it."

"Very well! So, you don't know if it's true. Let's move on to the second sieve, that of KINDNESS. Is what you want to tell me about my friend something good?"

"Oh, no! On the contrary."

"So," questioned Socrates, "you want to tell me something negative about him, and you're not even sure it's true? Perhaps you can still pass the test of the third sieve, that of UTILITY. Is it useful for me to know what you're going to tell me about this friend?"

"No, not really."

"Therefore," concluded Socrates, "what you were going to tell me is neither true, nor good, nor useful. Why, then, did you want to tell me this?"

"Gossip is a bad thing. Initially, it may seem enjoyable and fun, but ultimately, it fills our hearts with bitterness and poisons us." - Pope Francis.

Having someone who always supports you and reassures you is incredibly valuable. Their constant encouragement helps you feel more confident and stable, especially during tough times.

This person is like a treasure, offering comfort and strength when you need it most. Their kindness and support remind you that you're never alone.

When we're old you're gonna ask me, "How did we manage to get here together?" "I will answer you:

So instead of yelling, we talked.
Instead of running away from problems, we looked for solutions together.
Because nothing was lost to us.
Because we laughed and cried together.
Because one day we promised to be together through good and bad and together we made it.
But mainly because we have given a dimension to our relationship together: Love never dies.

honestly, some of y'all want a significant other so badly and can't understand why you can't find one but have no sense of boundaries or healthy expectations of what a relationship is like.

In a committed long-term partnership, you get left on read, you wait for texts back, and you can forget about each other when you're busy. sometimes you fall asleep without saying goodnight and sometimes you're too caught up to text each other before 6 pm. That's how it is. thinking that you can't be deeply, beautifully in love and still wait more than "1.75 hours" for a text back is such an unhealthy and unreasonable expectation of what love is, and you shouldn't be in a relationship if you can't allow the other person to exist on their own apart from you. if you're projecting your anxieties and insecurities onto a partner who doesn't even exist yet, then you aren't ready for one.

Greed has poisoned men's souls,
has barricaded the world with hate,
has goose-stepped us into misery
and bloodshed.
We have developed speed,
but we have shut ourselves in.
Machinery that gives abundance
has left us in want.
Our knowledge has made us cynical;
our cleverness, hard and unkind.
We think too much and feel too little.
More than machinery,
we need humanity.
More than cleverness,
we need kindness and gentleness.
Without these qualities,
life will be violent and all will be lost.

~ Charlie Chaplin
