2014.05.20 05:02 ZadocPaet /r/Abolish: Abolish the Death Penalty

Capital punishment is ineffective and unethical. Stand with us and oppose it. Abolish the death penalty! Our goal is to be the catylyst that leads to the barbaric practice of executing citizens of the United States of America to be done away with. We are the minority, but together we can be a force to put an end to the tooth for tooth "justice" of our ancestors. We do not believe the solution to killing could ever be more killing.This is not how we solve problems in the 21st century

2024.05.28 22:18 Bryanime My family’s dog died yesterday and I feel like it’s my fault

Trigger Warning: drowning and pet death
Backstory: I (27f) moved in with my dad, stepmother (who I’ll just call mom, bc she’s great), my step-grandmother(my grandma), and two much younger siblings (15m, and 8f) almost a month ago. They have a border collie(BC) and 2 French bulldogs(FB1, FB2). Their yard is mostly concrete, and in the corner of the yard is a small in-ground pool/spa, about 1.5 the size of your average above ground hot tub. The previous owners of the house removed the gate that was originally blocking off the pool from the rest of the yard to the other side yard to create what we assumed was a dog run (there’s a bit of grass over there). This area is where the kids go for no dogs allowed sports practice.
My grandma and I were home alone with the dogs over the holiday weekend while the rest of my family was out for a big family trip for four days. All weekend was great. No major incidents, just one accidental double breakfast for the dogs due to lack of communication. Yesterday, my family gets back from the trip and about an hour and a half later, BC wants to go outside. BC LOVES to jump in the pool. 8/10 when it gets warmer she zooms from the back door straight in. But then she’s exiled outside for a while until she dries off enough to come inside. She tends to bark when she’s out back alone and mad she can’t come inside.
Because of that, sometimes I go outside and sit under the gazebo(canopy?) thing they have set up over their outdoor furniture and play on my phone or read or whatever, while BC runs around and jumps into the pool and tries to shower me by shaking off and asking for pets. From one side(the side I usually sit on that’s in the sun) you can’t really see the pool because of another two bigger chairs. The FBs have been trained since they came home(as little ones) to stay out of the pool after an incident where FB2 decided she wanted to sit in it with everyone else and sank like a rock. FB1 loved to chase BC around the yard and play and fight with her, and would stand at the edge and bark and wait for her to come out for more chasing.
So I’m outside with the exiled and swim happy BC and the FBs get let outside. I’m watching a show on my phone, mostly throwing the tennis ball for FB2 until she needs a break for bad hips, while BC and FB1 are running amock and barking at people walking on the street. It’s been about 45 minutes and BC isn’t dripping wet anymore, so I check with my dad who’s in the living room if she can come in, so then she and FB2 run inside and I realize FB1 doesn’t come in. Dad and brother confirmed he wasn’t let in when I wasn’t looking and he doesn’t come when called.
So I turn to look if he’s laying down sunning himself like he does and I see him floating in the pool. I screamed he’s in the pool and jumped in and put him on the side and start trying to do CPR because I don’t know how long he’s been in there, realize my little brother came out after me, and I scream for my dad because the dog’s not moving and what I’m doing isn’t working. My brother runs back in for mom and then three of us are there trying to bring him back and I’m still waist deep in the pool in demon shorts and socks and I can’t breathe because when did he fall in and why didn’t I hear him or see him I was RIGHT FUCKING THERE.
Then I realized my 15 year old brother is hugging me and telling me it’s not my fault while he’s crying because his dog is dead and I was hyperventilating and apologizing and repeating that I didn’t see him and then feel like extra shit because why the fuck does my baby brother need to comfort me and why am I making it about me right now. My mom had to tell my sister what happened, thank god she was upstairs with grandma when this happened.
We put him in a box with a blanket, my brother put his dog bed in it, and my sister gave him a treat so our uncle can give it to him when he gets to heaven. I think my dad took him to their vet’s office this morning so he can be cremated?
Realistically I know it’s not my fault. It’s an awful accident. My parents have told me it’s not my fault. My brother told me it’s not my fault. I stopped apologizing after my freak out. I just fell so awful. I was maybe 40 feet away and he was terrified and dying. I’m so, so, so sorry Big Meatball.

2024.05.28 21:47 BeSerial Success story (?)

Hi all (and who knows/I hope dr K),
Prepare to read!! But if you don't want to, get the TLDR at the bottom; I am very uncommon with Reddit so forgive me any mistakes!
I've been strugglin' along in life for a while now (am 26 years old) and even though I've been doubling down on dr K's videos last 6 months or so, it's been 10 years I've been working very hard on myself (sometimes really really obsessively). As following is how great my life is going;
I just got hired for a new job (System Engineer in IT), got a good base (got a small but nice apartment with garden, money, stuff, a cute cat) and I am very healthy and strong (I put alot of time in my health) and maybe I got some on the lucky side with appearance thanks to my parents (no model but u know, just fine). + I've joined group therapy on 18 yrs old for one and a half year, been in cognitive therapy since my 21st and still going sometimes and have been reading about philosophy, psychology for years and thought alot about a mentality of 'overcoming' and practicing this alot too in for example Boxing. As more medicine for the mind I sometimes make poems, play guitar and sing or make raps (been a while tbh), meditate, work out more, have a healthy routine and habits, try to do enough new things and take risks (as in Love and also career or vacations alone etc).. I feel like I understand myself and my world alot better than before and that I could do something really cool with these insights.
To understand my question but honestly also because I am weirdly eager to share my story, here's a small part of my history; My parents got divorced at age 5 or 6 because my mother joined a sect (like Amish but modernized) and the church said she had to, against my fathers' wishes. It was a horrible divorce, where suddenly my dad was gone, they regularly got in screaming fights with my mom wishing him dead etc, slamming doors (my dad broke into the house at least once) arguing over the relationship and us, while we didn't really understood why and cried ofcourse. Later on when things sort of settled down I saw my dad weekend on weekend off and until shortly I told myself everything was fine from that time on; it would be too much to tell, but I am now sure (beside every period also has some good things ofc) I have been emotionally neglected, traumatically manipulated by my mom (examples: literally years later when I felt sad my dad was gone while looking at old pictures where she cut him out, she said things like it was the demon in my room making me feel that way and she literally commanded/screamed it back to hell, I was frightened to death and my little sister cried once; my mother also observed and controlled us sometimes obsessively checking our stuff in search of where the devil could hide & would throw it away, and manipulate choices, what is not allowed to do or even think.. everything) and I lived an extremely sad, depressing, insecure and self-blaming youth. If I'd understood what really was going on with my mom and my family, I probably would have killed myself. Lucky me I guess she forced me to become a bit better at lying, and so too to myself. Hahah you thought that was all didn't yah? Hell no, here comes part two; at 15 yrs old I got kicked out of (that side of) the family which meant losing my mother, my siblings I grew up with, my best friend cousin and a whole network of friends because I had to move to my father in another city too far away. I had to walk away from home (my mom) because I felt very unsafe apparently, I wasn't welcome anymore after that. She also didn't respond to my texts, or said I could come and then cancel, and send not even a message from the first birthday since on. Later on I tried again but she keeps putting expectations on me and plays with my love for her. haven't seen her for 6 years now I think. But I also left the one good thing; my mothers' beliefs. I am grateful for my father to take me in, but I think now he was too traumatized by the happenings' in his life that he wasn't able to really connect with me when I moved in, we never discussed emotional parts or had a good talk the first year or more. Maybe we had later on but still, he always felt distant from me, as today I am afraid. Like he is half a ghost; He lives, but always seems unaware of half of what happens.. doing his routine over and over. You can talk but he forgets. Never said he loved me or anything, just he living his life and I mine besides his. I know he loves me, but sad it is.
So you can see I've been through some shit and still leaving out alot because it would be too long to read. I want to get to the point myself as like;
I am feeling okay lately and really are keeping my balance, feeling overall good and livin' prosperous as I actually always do. The only thing I really long still is having a connection with people. I don't know if it's me, them, or both.. I moved alot so it was hard to remain friendships, but I also think I find it hard to make friends because I feel like a strange ducky; I fear my past has changed me so much that I understand depth that my peers do not. It could be arrogance, but it must at least have some truth in it. It takes alot of energy to be around new people and since a year I have become alot more solitary, because I don't want to drink really, use drugs or stay up at night. I live a peaceful life reading, working out, pursue a nice career and sum good meditation (and tea) sessions. And try to keep a few good friendships going, which are going very well. But I haven't been in a relationship for 6 years and now I feel like I am ready (a healthy one this time I promise), only the women around me I feel like they are not (ghosting, are most interested in themselves, looking for checking their grocerylist, communicate intensely vague). I've had quite some experience with women and don't struggle to get dates, but I really find it hard to find real connection/understanding. I got on a new datingapp where you go on date when you match without chatting, sounds great not? Only with the first 3 matches they postponed the date already 6 times, two doubles, mostly same day/few hours before. And with horrible reason and effort after really. I also find the girls I have approached in real life and dated seem occupied, and some of those things i just listed. Generally very cold women here in Holland, is my experience (but there are always exceptions on ones' rules ofcourse);
''Has this world changed its' moral value, or is it I?''
.. So I wonder; do I need to change myself, or my environment? Do I maybe have a lack of connection what makes me feel like I lack connection, or am I still missing something internally? Or both? And do I need to be more patient while feeling a little righteous lack-of?
If you want to ask, share or give your worldview of anything please do so! I am here to learn, not to know it better.
Huge propz to dr K, thanks for the ton of knowledge I already learned from you for free and thanks for this reddit page!
thanks for reading!

side question: It could be obvious but is my history a normal one? or is it a bit different from the usual? I wouldn't know really, I like to see myself as normal

TL;DR: Life is going great, Life wás hell & felt like sharing, question; is there a chance for real love?

Note: for some games from humble I might ask for gift links. There is a rumor 3 years ago that humble bans users due to making gift links only. I make gift links every week, never have any issues. I have no idea why humble would ever ban its customers for using a feature it provides to its custimers.

Here is a guide how to make gift links from support.Humblebundle.com: https://support.humblebundle.com/hc/en-us/articles/202712460-Purchasing-and-Sending-Gifts

I do not believe humble teaches you how to make gift links, so it can ban you, lol

2024.05.28 21:35 Pain_in_The_Rainbow Hurts when family talks shit.

I would like to put it out there that I love my family to death. Often help when I’m really not up to it and try to be a good person. But just sometimes. My great grandmother shows her true colors. And at first I was thinking- hey it’s just her ranting. Whatever. But now I think she does it cause she likes to bully and talk shit behind their backs. Because I Love when someone I care deeply about thinks I can’t work a job, can’t live on my own, thinks I’m a deadbeat like my fkn father. It hurts. A lot. Especially when I hear it from my mother instead of her. Because I thought she really supported me. I thought she genuinely cared and was happy for me. Come to find out she doesn’t think I’ll last more than a week. That I’m not “adult” enough to handle it. It stings. A lot. And I can’t confront her, because I could use the money from her to even live out there. And it’s not a small amount. I’d pay her back, she knows I would. It just hurts. And sometimes I think she’s always felt this way. Talking shit about my mom, about my uncles and aunts and even people she calls friends… and now even me. It fkn stings. And I can’t do shit about it. Because she’d point out the points in my life where I’ve been the lowest. The time I dropped out, the time I got fired, and the last- about year that I’ve lived at home, claim it’s the reason I won’t last. And I know she’s wrong. I know she is. But to think she even said that shit. To know she would point that shit out to my face- hurts. Because she’s always been there for me. Been in my corner. And come to find out she’s talking shit to my other family members, even MY OWN MOTHER who is the one who urged me to APPLY. It’s fuckin hurtful. Maybe I’m being over sensitive or dramatic, but ffs, who does that? Who talks shit about someone, their family no less, behind their back and then act nice to their face. Who fkn does that? I don’t. I don’t know… I just needed some place to put this, somewhere where she’ll never see it. Where no one I know will.

2024.05.28 19:37 EchoesInExile Just some screwed up family drama

Starting with a disclaimer that my family is quite screwed up and because there are a lot of things that are intertwined that happened so somethings may not make sense.
The story starts from when my dad and mom married. My mom came from a relatively well off family in a developing country however she grew up with a lot of politics and backstabbing from her relatives. Hence, she wanted to leave the family ASAP. So she met my father who is from a developed country and she saw the opportunity to run and got married. My maternal grandparents disliked this marriage (mainly that they thought that my father was all talk and lacked character) so much that they locked her in a room but she somehow managed to escape. As my mother was very insistent and my maternal grandparents had no choice but agreed to let them get married and my maternal grandparents gave them a lot of gold jewellery (my mom had more stacks than a rapper during her wedding ceremony) and some money for her dowry (50 - 70k USD 20 years ago).
Then they gave birth to my older sibling and me. At this point of time, my mother had moved to my father’s childhood home where my paternal grandparents were staying. My mom didn’t really get along with my paternal grandmother (they didn’t even speak the same language but she got on very well with my paternal grandfather. Then, suddenly my dad died when I was five years old (trauma story 1). So at this point the 3 of us (my mom, my sibling and I) were staying at my paternal grandparents house. So a lot of context, my father was the sole breadwinner of the house (not that he was making any money) and my mom was just spending her dowry by spending on our family and my father’s business. My mom wanted to work but my paternal grandmother wouldn’t even let my mom worked and also there was no one to take care of the children since she didn’t make enough money to cover for a nanny and my paternal grandmother didn’t want to help. Hence, my mom could only put all her hope on my father’s business (my mom also helped). However, my father is someone who can earn $1 and spend $1000. Prior to the marriage, my grandparents were the ones who were cleaning up after him by paying off any debt he had (my mother didn’t know this side of her husband). Luckily, my mom bought a house.
Prior to my dad’s death, he had racked up credit card debts (not sure the amt) and also he spent my mother’s family money. So my maternal grandmother gave my mother a bank account ($30k - $50k USD 15 year ago) just in case of any emergency (but it was still my grandmother’s money to be clear). My mother was having a difficult pregnancy with my sibling and she stupidly gave my father the card and my father finished the money inside without anyone knowing. My maternal grandmother only found out when she wanted to take out some money and she found only $1 inside (literally a dollar). Also, my father had another debt ($20 - $30k USD 10 years ago) with my paternal uncle.
So after my dad’s death, my mother essentially had only rent from the 1 house she bought (which wasn’t even paid off fully) as her only source of income with so many debt and children to raise. My maternal grandmother told my mother to bring her children back to her country and she could help raise them while my maternal grandmother raised us. My paternal grandfather wanted us to stay and she told my mom that he would help take care of us. My mom stayed ultimately because our education is much better in the developed country (excuse my subpar English) and she also didn’t know how she would make money if she went back with my maternal grandmother. Then, we stayed at my paternal’s grandparents house for a while. One day, my paternal aunts and uncle just gave my mother 1 week to move out of the house (they didn’t care where she moved to) (trauma story 2) and the reason they gave was because my paternal grandmother was so depressed looking at my sibling who looks like my dad (lol and disclaimer my paternal grandparents didn’t know). So my mom and my sibling left and moved in with her boyfriend (trauma story 3) while I stayed at my paternal grandparents place after some discussion with 6 year old me (trauma story 4).
So from this point onwards, my mom is paying off my dad’s debt, she couldn’t provide us with much money. So my paternal grandparents started providing us with some daily allowance.
10ish years later
So our monthly allowance went from $150 USD to $300 USD (settled everything ourself) simply due to age and inflation. My sibling started working a job that my paternal grandparents didn’t like and they offered to provide us with more allowance if she stopped and so our allowance went to $400 USD. My paternal grandparents are able to provide financial support as my paternal uncle (mainly) and aunt was giving them monthly allowance. However, to clarify he gave money to my paternal grandparents and they had the freedom to choose how to spend it which my paternal grandparents choose to give my sibling and I. It was simply a financial choice that my paternal grandparents made. The only time that my paternal uncle provided more money to my grandparents in direct support of our allowance was when they didn’t like the job my sibling was doing (not what any of y’all are thinking and it really wasn’t bad at all) and wanted my sibling to stop.
So now my paternal uncle lost his job and due to personal issues, he moved in to stay with my paternal grandparents and I. We had a lot of issues as he is sexist, egoistic, full of himself and there was a lot of no communication or miscommunication from them (undeniably he provided for my paternal grandparents, my sibling and I) and I never said anything to anyone (His own kids don’t even talk to him anymore). Yet, he started complaining to my paternal grandparents and paternal aunt (honestly complaining like a child but I am bias so) and they started to pull the card of we supported you all these years and how can you behave like that or be so ungrateful.
Finally, after all the context we reached the place where I want to vent. From my pov, I took care of my paternal grandparents a lot all these years (I mainly took care of myself when I was young, they only thing they did was feed me and bring me to school and bring me out to the neighbourhood occasionally). My paternal grandmother had some health issues and as my education background is medical related, I helped take care of her. For instance, there was one incident where my grandmother had really bad low blood sugar to the point where if I wasn’t home, my paternal grandmother would have died (according to a doctor). Also, my paternal grandfather is very difficult emotionally and I am the one that can best handle him. So essentially, I was a free/paid (if you count the allowance) caregiver since I was around 16 years old.
Another point is that my paternal grandfather promised my mom that he would help take care of us which I think is self-explanatory.
Another point is that the reason my mom is literally unable to financial support my sibling and I is because my mom is paying off the debt which their brotheson spent (the expenses weren’t even family/biz related)
Another point is that my dad lied to my mom literally. So my dad had been married once before he married my mom. The worst part was no one told my family and the ex wife was a family friend towards my paternal grandmother and aunt. I only found out like 2 years ago from another cousin who also broke off contacts with the family. The worse part was that the ex wife would just hang around and I didn’t know for so many years while everyone except my family knew. Also, the whole family thinks that this is normal and it’s okay to lie by omission. I literally thought I was the crazy one until one my cousins asked me that wasn’t it weird that the ex wife still hangs around?
Another point is that due to the decision of them chasing my mom out of the house, there is a lot of traumatic events that happened. Honestly, isn’t it just screwed up to chase ur dead’s brother family away by giving a 1 week notice.
Another point is that I don’t think I owe my paternal uncle anything (maybe some but not enough for whatever I am putting up with) since my paternal grandparents made the choice to give us their allowance. I totally understand that I owe my paternal grandparents and hence no matter what they do I will tolerate it to the end since I owe them. But I don’t think my paternal uncle deserves that level. Furthermore, my sibling offered to give him a monthly allowance to ‘payback’ as a gratitude and he refused.
Another point is that whenever we had conversations with my paternal side of the family, they would say that we don’t want anything, we just want to make sure that my sibling and I are well taken care off and is able to get a good education (we paid for our own schools fees) and that if we needed anything to let them know (of course we were not stupid enough to ask for anything).
Honestly, I never kept scores but since they brought it up, it really pisses me off and I am definitely keeping scores. Like honestly if they didn’t bring it up, I would have been more thankful and tolerant.
Anyway, thanks for hearing my very long contextual rant and please be kind if not go away and do I have a screwed up family (there is even more screwed up stuff)?

2024.05.28 19:10 pharmabra After 4 years, I finally tested positive

And of course I got it from my uncle who's become too self-conscious to mask up in public. He traveled to New York two weeks ago. Sat on a flight unmasked, visited family (unmasked), and traveled home (unmasked). His immediate family members are immunocompromised- wife who is on dialysis with severe renal failure and a daughter who's pregnant her her second (her firstborn is only 15 months old) - all who he sees daily.
I am so upset. Thankfully my symptoms are mild - transient headaches, fatigue the first day, sore throat the first day and intermittently throughout the day. I am deathly afraid for my aunt and their daughter.

2024.05.28 19:01 Yurii_S_Kh Faith in God is a Deadly Cross for Human Pride. Paradise and Hell Are Already Here and Now. Part 2

Faith in God is a Deadly Cross for Human Pride. Paradise and Hell Are Already Here and Now. Part 2
The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares
Faith in God is a deadly cross for human pride and a painful crucifixion for selfishness.
The Lord testified to this: Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal (Jn. 12:24–25).
That is why it is so hard for us to come to believe in the Lord sincerely and wholeheartedly; or rather, it is absolutely impossible by our efforts alone, without grace and help from above.
To come to believe in Christ you first need to meet Him, by hearing and responding to His call, so that He Himself can touch your heart with His Spirit and kindle a gentle flickering of faith in it. As long as there has been no such touch, you in fact are not yet a believer. Your faith is not yet living, burning, or spiritualized. Either you have no faith or it has a superficial, formal, and worldly nature.1 Without faith quickened by the spirit you are still outside the fold of Christ,2 outside His Body, the Church.3
At the same time, outwardly you may seem to yourself and to others a believer, since you correspond to certain formal indicators. For example, you are baptized, know the basics of the Christian faith and attend church services. “But this is not enough,” as one poet said.4 Such people lack the most important thing—being inwardly filled with the Holy Spirit.5 One of His most precious gifts is sincere faith in the Lord.
Every person needs to take pains to ensure the presence in his soul of a living, gracious flickering of Christian faith, without which all our words and deeds become futile, worldly and vain, and our whole life loses its salvific meaning.
It is through the Lord’s kindling the flame of faith in the human heart that a grace-filled seed of paradisiacal life begins to dwell and grow in it, struggling through to the Light through the thorns of sinful passions.
From the moment you meet and convert to Christ, your intensely difficult spiritual work begins of self-improvement, of being transformed into the image and likeness of Jesus of Nazareth. The Lord Himself compared this work to cultivating a field diligently to reap a good and rich harvest.6
The preparation of the soil for sowing corresponds to your life before meeting Christ, when the “soil” of your soul is softened and humbled by trials, discoveries, sorrows, joys, meetings and separations, fascinations and disappointments, losses and acquisitions.
The tool that “digs up” and “loosens” the “soil” of your heart is the cross that we all have to bear. By bearing it or rejecting it you accumulate positive or negative experience, realizing your weakness and dependence on others, humbling yourself, growing wiser, and becoming more open to hearing the call of the Lord.
Sowing corresponds to meeting with Christ the Sower, Who sows into our hearts the seed of living faith. At first this seed is tiny; however, as it gradually grows, it embraces one’s entire being.7
The germination of wheat and its growth together with weeds corresponds to the stage of ascetic labor or spiritual warfare—the practice of implanting virtues and eradicating sinful passions. This stage can end in both defeat and victory for you.
In case of defeat in spiritual warfare the seeds and/or buds of faith are completely choked by the weeds of sinful passions, plunging your soul into the darkness of unbelief, despondency and eternal perdition.
If there is victory, the tares of sinful passions are completely eradicated and destroyed in your heart, which becomes a field covered with pure, virtuous wheat that has yielded a rich harvest. The whole person is filled with the grace of God, attains salvation and inherits Gospel beatitude.8
Reaping the harvest corresponds, firstly, to your final spiritual state at the end of your earthly life; secondly, to the partial judgment that takes place after your death; and thirdly, to the universal Last Judgment of all people by Christ. At the very end, the Lord will sum up our earthly lives and pronounce His righteous judgment based on the absolute knowledge of what is in our souls, and all the spiritual and worldly fruits that we have yielded, both good and evil.
As a result of God’s judgment, some will be vouchsafed a festive wedding banquet—that is, an everlasting blessed celebration in the Heavenly Kingdom, while others will be cast… into outer darkness: there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth (Mt. 25:30).
Thus, hell and Paradise begin and grow already here on earth, in the human hearts. God and the devil are in a battle for authority over these hearts. At the same time, each one of us consciously and voluntarily takes sides, “planting” and “cultivating” either hell or Paradise, or both alternately. Ultimately, every person brings himself to a state of either Paradise or hell here on earth, voluntarily joining the ranks of either the disciples or the enemies of Christ. In effect, by their seeds, shoots, stalks, and first fruits, Paradise and hell are here in earthly life, while in the afterlife are only the final, sublime fruits.
In this regard, , all the arguments by, on one hand, supporters of the theory of universal salvation,9 and on the other hand, by atheists, that the torments of hell are a manifestation of God’s cruelty, contrary to His absolute Love, are completely incorrect. The former conclude from this that hell is a temporary state and everyone, even the demons, will eventually be saved by our loving God; the latter conclude that Christianity is fundamentally contradictory, and if so, then there is no God, nor can there be.10 If there is an eternal hell, then there is no God of Love! That’s what they think. Therefore, “if we accept God, we should reject hell; if we accept hell, we should reject God.”
In reality, the presence of eternal torments in hell is a manifestation of God’s respect for human freedom, which, in turn, is a manifestation of His love. God respects and accepts our free choices, even if they are hostile to His will. If someone decides to live without God, tormenting himself with his own sins, God gives him the opportunity to do so (to use an Orthodox term, He allows it).11
Thus, the responsibility for the fact that someone by his own sins ended up in this godless and painful state in hell, and not in Paradise, lies on him alone. An unrepentant sinner brings himself to such a godless state—that is, hostile to God—in which the love of God becomes an unbearable source of suffering for him. For those possessed by malice, the most unpleasant, detestable and painful thing is goodness, just as for those possessed by darkness, worst of all is the light. He who hates everyone and everything perceives the light of God’s love as a burning and tormenting fire.
Descending the ladder of sinful passions, which are based on satanic pride, a sinner, with the help of evil spirits, naturally brings himself into a state of hatred and malice towards God, his neighbors, the world, and even himself—a state of utter loneliness, the deepest disappointment, hopeless despondency and the unwillingness to live.
According to the Holy Fathers, the seed or root of all passions is self-love, which consists of striving for sensual pleasures. The first passion that originates from self–love is gluttony. From gluttony comes the passion of the love of money; from them both—the passion of lust; from the three of them—the passion of vanity; from vanity comes pride; from vanity and pride comes anger, from anger comes sadness, and lastly, from sadness comes despondency.12
Sin begins with pleasure and the hope that this pleasure will only increase and intensify. It ends in anxiety, worries, doubts, fear, illnesses, suffering, total disappointment and everlasting perdition. A sinner who does not repent and does not reform is eventually left with nothing in his life.
The state of hell is that of cold, empty darkness, filled only with pangs of conscience, an awareness of a life lived meaninglessly and abominably, and an insatiable thirst for pleasure that can no longer be satiated, along with a strong fear of an eternity filled with suffering.
There is no need for physical torment in such a hell! It is so frightening and terrible. At the same time, it is entirely the work of human hands,13 the totality of your conscious and voluntary aspirations, beliefs, words and actions directed against God and your neighbors. There is absolutely no one to blame for it except yourself.
The opposite of this, by ascending the ladder of virtues based on Divine humility, with God’s help a believer, naturally attains a state of profound conciliar unity with God, with his neighbors, the world, and with himself in love, which fills his whole being with joy, gratitude and a sense of the infinite fullness of being and life.
This is a state of absolute enlightenment by the Light of Christ, in which you completely come to know God, others, the world, and yourself as you yourself are known by God.14 Your whole being becomes a sanctified temple of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, filled with the grace of the Holy Trinity.15
According to the Holy Fathers, the seed or root of all virtues is humility, which opens the human heart to the grace of God, inviting into it Christ Himself—Who humbly stands at the door, knocking at it and waiting for us to open and invite Him to enter.16 First of all, abstinence originates from humility, from abstinence, chastity, from chastity and other virtues, patience, meekness and mercy, ad from them, love. And love fills you with infinite, grateful joy.17
So, by living with God on earth, being in communion with Him, in Paradise we simply attain the fullness of communion with God, bringing the Paradise of our souls to the infinity of Divine love. If we live only for ourselves on earth, for our selfish desires, then after death we find ourselves in the proud void of loneliness, bringing the hell of our souls to the infinity of satanic malice. We ourselves are the free creators of our eternity—either blissful or agonizing, either Heaven or hell.

2024.05.28 18:22 La_Plus_Heureuse [QCrit] SEE ME IN THE AIR, Historical Fantasy, Adult, 107k 2nd Attempt

Hi all, I have received some excellent feedback and advice on here but I’m back at it again. After querying around 20 agents this second time around, I feel like I’m flying a little blind, so I thought I’d take a step back before proceeding. I’ve received one full request and a subsequent rejection, and no other partial or full requests yet. Before I move forward, I want to repost my query:
Dear [Agent]:
SEE ME IN THE AIR is a reimagining of the medieval legend of Mélusine, set in 1970s New York City. Resonant with themes of social justice and female magic found in Alice Hoffman’s The Rules of Magic, and the combination of myth retold against a historical backdrop in Susan Stokes-Chapman's Pandora, this upmarket historical fantasy novel is complete at 107,000 words. [I believe we'd be a good fit based on your interest in X.]
Madeleine is an ambitious architect and women’s liberation activist seeking love and success amid the sociopolitical changes rocking the decade. However, she harbors a secret: every Saturday, she is compelled to transform into an aquatic, serpentine being and must spend hours in her bathtub, cramped in shame and discomfort.
Madeleine’s late mother left her two instructions: that Madeleine must marry, and that her husband must agree never to see her on Saturdays. If he keeps that promise, her body will stop changing. If he doesn’t, she will forever be controlled by her morphing body—which has recently begun to break out of its once-dependable pattern of behavior—never able to be a successful, modern, human woman. She could lose everything she’s fought for.
Madeleine’s fiancé Xavier struggles to keep this confusing promise to her, and with his traditionalist brother whispering rumors into his ear, he begins to question why Madeleine is demanding quite so much freedom. Xavier is also keeping a secret of his own, and it is the truth of the callous role he played in his uncle’s tragic death that continues to plague him, until he ends up betraying everyone he holds dear.
To salvage the pieces of her life, Madeleine goes on a journey of self-discovery to learn who she is, where she comes from, and what kind of power she has to help others, against a backdrop of second-wave feminism, post-Civil Rights politics, and a city that is becoming more dangerous by the day.
I am a marketing professional and an author of short stories. My work has appeared in several journals, including X and Y, and I have also written for publications such as Z.
Per your submission guidelines, I have included the [first three chapters below] and I'd be happy to send the full manuscript upon your request. I appreciate your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Thank you in advance.

2024.05.28 18:05 TomTomTheCatt I need to know what is going on.

So, recently i watched a video where a guy would talk about some stuff on reddit, like some stories on how some creepy things were said on here.
Though one story struck me to my core since i felt related to that post.
The post was about a man wanting to understand psychological effects on the human thought process or whatever it was. And i think he linked something to where you could talk about your experience.
It's not really the post itself that i related to but one of the answers. So i will try to talk about what i felt related to and i want answers on what it might be.
So, to start, i'm 16 years old, i haven't really been in top shape but i was "healthy" from the beginning to now. I have had multiple depression episodes in my pre-teen/teen era that made me over eat and do nothing of my life, which is why i'm a little chubby. Other than that, i have nothing in my body that signals that i might die of a tumor or cancer.
Mentally though, i have some history. Like i said previously, i've had depression episodes and during those i got diagnosed with depression and anxiety. 2-ish years ago i was diagnosed with autism and months ago my psychiatrist told me i had borderline personality traits. In my family (my dad's side) i have an uncle that is paranoid schizophrenic and there's a huge amount of cases of anxiety in my mother's side.
So, with those informations, let's start with how i feel sh'all we.
I never truly felt "alive". I never felt like anything mattered or that anything was real. I know it's a rough start but that was the first thing that made me realize that maybe i wasn't as normal as i thought i was.
My mind is never silent, but not in the way that you think. I always feel like my own brain is screaming in my mind non-stop and it only stops when i take medication (that i was prescribed) to sleep. I have sometimes episodes of where i see or hear things like shadows looking at me through my window or people saying my name while there's no one in the room with me.
I forget alot of stuff, like if for example you would ask me what i ate for dinner yesterday, i would barely remember it. Or if you asked me what happened last year that in my eyes was important, i would not be able to answer you. It was always like that, even when i was a child. I would never remember what my parents looks like, it's still the case today. I live with my mom and i couldn't even tell you what facial features she has that would make me say "yep, that's my mom.". And ofcourse birthdays, don't get me started on how much my family and friends were offended when i couldn't remember their birthdays. I personally think that i forget those stuff because it doesn't truly matter to me, especially since i think that no one is alive, not even me.
I always was smart and a fast thinker and i have a great memory don't get me wrong. I never felt "love" or felt like where i am is "home", if you would ask me how those 2 feels like i wouldn't be able to tell you. Ofcoure i do love alot of things, but i only felt it atleast once or twice and it was a deep feeling of comfort and just attachment.
I do feel, i'm not emotionless, hell i'm even the most emotional person in my family or even my circle of friends.
Due to my autism i feel things twice as hard which is why i can tell if i can love or not. Sometimes i don't have empathy at all while i'm extremely empathetic. Like for example, a year ago my sister's ex died. All of my family hated him and never wanted him to be around but as soon as he died everyone was sad. But i couldn't help but think that they were all hypocritical because dying is apart of the human life's cycle and that you can't just love back someone just because that they died. They're the ones that left him as his lowest point and now it's too late so just accept it.
And not only that but recently i had a pet that died, i loved him from the start until the end. And my family DARED to say that it wasn't the same as a human dying. As if they loved the guy more than i loved that pet. To me all humans aren't truly real, and it angers me to see everyone acting like as if riding cars and dressing up is a normal natural thing.
Ofcourse i grieved at my cat's death, but i was really just shutting down those emotions because like i said, it's part of life. What happened, happened and it was only a matter of time even if he didn't die of a natural cause.
I'm just really ranting but it's just to show you guys that i'm not emotionless, it's just that i truly can't wrap my head around how all of this is normal, like cars, buildings and more. I do enjoy life and i am grateful that my life is not that difficult physically. But i just truly feel like we all don't matter.
A part of me thinks that we all don't exist and we're all just apart of a simulation made to keep us sane and a part of me wants to live life and do whatever i want.
Sometimes i get used for my body, i got used by people from 11-30+. I know it's bad but i can't help but feel nothing about it. I don't care at all because like i said i feel like i'm no one. No one important. Just a pile of useless cells. When that happens i can't help but get angry at myself and reflect it on the person that used me. I always either victim blame myself or victimize myself incase i get called a horrible human being to letting my body get used while i'm with someone else. I always do everything to make people believe i'm a normal girl with normal thoughts and i cry at any inconvenience but it's never the case really.
I don't feel alive, i don't feel normal, i don't feel important, and i feel this way towards everything else. I always am mean when i have an existential crisis, i'm mean not because i want to but because i truly feel that way. Once i told my friends that i don't love them and never did and the only reason why i was hanging out with them is because i tolerate them. Which is true but i never really say those things because i know it has a lot of impact on friendships.
I always get angry towards anyone trying to make me believe that we do have a purpose. I get angry to seeing people criticizing other's looks while none of us matters. Our opinions wont change anything in this world and there's nothing we can do about it. Mo one will listen to us and no one will care.
So why bother? We bother because our brain tell us to. We are only made to survive in an already safe world for most and that the only danger to human beings are humans themselves. Which is why i feel like we're not alive. If we were alive we would all understand those things. We will all do anything to make this world a safe place like how we intended to from the beginning. But instead there's wars, global warming, and so so many problems caused by human beings. We were intended to make this place safe, NOT to make it easier to live in with all the technologies. Now it's too late and all we should do is die since we were the start of these aweful problems and it will never be the end because as long as we survive, us humans as horrible as we are will never stop until we've had enough, but it's never. Enough. And it will never be even when this place will be covered in chaos. I hate myself and every person that claims to be apart of the human kind. I just want it all to stop.. no matter what i do i can hear my brain screaming non stop, i just feel so overwhelmed and i know it'll start all over again until i find a way to shut down my own brain. I don't want to help myself. I don't matter. No one does.

2024.05.28 17:53 Melodic-Pack4191 AITA for going “just a tinsy bit too much” when dealing with my bio father

Hi everyone.
Sorry for any mistakes, English’s not my native language. TW: abuse
And thanks in advance to everyone who will read my rant.
I (34f) grew up with a bio father that’s f8cked up in the head. I had cPTSD for most of my life after such an entertaining childhood.
He was never a drunk or anything, just probably mentally ill. He’s most definitely a pathological liar, but other than that I’ve no idea what’s wrong with this human being.
He used to relentlessly abuse my Mom (now 53f). I vented a lot about it here, but removed the text, might be triggering.
It was bad. Police never got involved because we lived in a secluded area in a house. We’re not in US, and here our fences are about 2 meters high. So no neighbours hearing anything, too.
He never got to abuse me physically, though. Being an adult now, I think my Mom saved me.
The moment he started to come into my room and talk about inappropriate stuff (“for education, because you’re old enough, your body is changing and you will have urges soon that you will need help with…”, you get it), I felt extremely uncomfortable and told Mom.
I even believed that there was something wrong with me for getting the eek. He’s just being helpful. I didn’t even realise why I felt so gross. But seems like Mom did.
I’ve no idea what she told him. But being the coward that he is - he backed off. For a while.
We left soon after. It didn’t go smoothly though. Mom tried to leave during the night, without waking anyone up, to make sure family friends were ready to take us in. Of course the bastard woke up.
I saw her the next day, and still remember that she had a huge bruise instead of half of her face. But she was alive, and she got us out.
Knowing the statistics of that happening now, I see my Mom as the Hero. I will forever be grateful. And maybe slightly overprotective, but I’m working on it with my therapist.
I was 13 or 14 at the time. It was a mess for a couple of years, because legally there was no way to go NC with bio-father side of the family in our country. But I did eventually.
Two decades of psychotherapy and moving forward, and we’ve doing great at the moment.
Mom (being The Queen that she is) remarried a couple of years after the escape. My stepdad is great. Then came more blessings: my little sister and brother. They are angsty strongwilled teenagers with lots of love and attitude, and I love (and sometimes annoy) them to death.
I got married to the love of my life, built a small business that allows me to support my family. And we’re planning to add some more kids to the clan.
I also got my cPTSD and recurrent depression finally(or so I thought) fixed, thanks to the lifesaving support of my therapist and my doc.
We’re even leaving in a lovely home with a huge beautiful garden, filled with flowers. The fairytale I’ve worked my ass off to help build, because Mom fucking deserves it - and much more.
So, everything was going great.
Then my grandmother (bio-father’s mom) decided to be spiteful enough to pack her stuff and leave for Hell. Or to Hell? Anyway, she died last November at the age of 97. My Aunty notified me just to give a heads up.
Now, I strongly believed myself to be this new, healed version, so of course I wanted to help with the funeral. Partly because I knew my bio-father would give additional grief to my Aunty and Uncle.
The funeral stuf and the ceremony went nice.
I was appropriately sad that grandmother passed (we did share some nice moments when I was a kid).
A bit inappropriately happy to reconnect with my Aunty and Uncle’s family. They are wonderful people, and I was always sorry that I failed to keep in touch.
I helped as much as I could with the funeral.
I also had an emergency session with my therapist before the ceremony just in case.
I met bio-father, and saw that he was no longer that scary big man. Just an old pathetic dude. Alone, with no job. I even felt sorry for him. And was happy to go back to my nice life after the funeral, and just forget about everything.
Un-fucking-fortunately there’s an inheritance that needs to be dealt with. The house. On a decent piece of land.
I own 1/3 of said house on paper, thanks to Mom 30+ years ago. The other 1/3 belongs to bio-father. And the last one is the inheritance.
I wanted to sign the documents giving my third of the house to the bio-father (Mom would be understandably pissed, though), cause I don’t need it and do not want to ever need to be in touch.
But apparently it’s not that simple.
The land under that house is not privatised. Like we own the house, but not the land, because my bio father is not fond of paying taxes. In our country you own the land - you pay for it every year. And currently that part of town is of huge interest for developers that can get nasty when they are interested in land - and your house stands on in. The only way to avoid the mess is to own said land. By going through privatising process.
Also:
  1. my bio father has a decent amount of personal debt (who would have thought),
  2. and a huuuuge debt on said house bills (water, electricity, you name it).
We found it out when my husband did a background check.
So. Once the house is sold, bio father immediately becomes my and my Uncle’s problem. He needs a place to live, and he cannot and won’t be able afford one if the house is gone.
Also in our country once the bills get to court, they are split between all owners of the property regardless whether you live there or not. And one day I will have some hefty sums arrested on my accounts.
All this needs to be sorted in order to minimise future headache.
So we’ve (my Uncle, my husband and I) made a rational decision to pay my bio father a visit and figure out a positive adult way to manage the debt and get the land privatised.
The plan was for my Uncle and my husband to do most of the talking, them being lawyers.
We expected it to take about an hour over some tea. You can guess how that went.
My bio father started with being glad that his daughter (me) is back, even though I abandoned him. Then he fed us some delusional stories of his grandiose. The usual drill. That he works for the local government, so no one will even touch the land under the house (solid lie, he doesn’t work at all right now). And that he has no debt, and all of that is actually a mistake that he got handled, blah blah blah. I’ll spare you the details.
My healed version was still handling the conversation by inner chanting of mantra “he’s actually ill, you can’t be mad at a sick person”.
But then this sick bitch turned to me and said:
Safe to say my therapists work immediately went down the drain.
The only thing I kept from my therapy is my cool. I didn’t raise my voice or use any vile language.
I just told him that my Mom will not get his message. She will not be stopping by. Then I made it clear that I have all his real information: debt, work, history.
Then I moved to the point: I am not interested in the house, only in not being disturbed ever again. So we’re dealing with house debt through court. He will be giving up his car to pay for it, unless he behaves.
And I will privatise the land in order to avoid any communication about the house with local developers. He will be joining the process. I don’t care whether he wants it or not.
I didn’t threaten him directly, but I’ve made it clear that should he prevent me from accessing the land for this process, I will make his life extremely unpleasant.
He did try to say something, but I just shut him down with “I don’t care” / “That’s your problem”, and continued talking. He didn’t risk getting violent, cause I wasn’t alone.
The whole process took about 10 minutes. No tea.
Then there was a moment of awkward silence, and my Uncle just said: “Looks like we all have a lot to think about. We’ll leave you to it”. When we got to the car, he just went: “Well… That saved us a lot of time”.
So I might be an AH for bullying an old and sick man due to my past trauma. I don’t feel like an asshole, though. Maybe it’ll hit me later.
But I do feel a bit asshole-y about the way I proceeded to handle the situation.
I got so pissed that day I went full “being petty is my lifestyle choice”. And ordered myself something I considered to be a uniform for visits to that house in the future. Black t-shirt with the huge white text “KARMA”.
But the process of privatising the land has begun. And of course bio father is making it difficult. I have a tempting option of going there and cutting down the lock myself. In order to give access to the government guys who measure the land. Police and pettiness involved. In said t-shirt.
My therapist says that my anger is fully justified and understandable. But what my bio-father really deserves is actually indifference. Which would also be the worst option for him. She thinks that I’ve built an incredible life, and moved on, and that it wonderful. And probably the healthiest thing for me would just to keep moving, I guess :)
My Mom noticed the t-shirt, and just said with a smile: “Oh honey…” I asked: “Too much?” And she said: “Maybe just a tinsy bit”
She’s probably right, though.
I should probably delegate everything to a lawyer. As adults do.
So, AITAH for still hesitating in doing so? Maybe I should just donate the t-shirt and truly move on. I don’t know.
My friends and family are being gentle with me. And my husband loves equally both my healed and my unhinged versions, so whatever my decision is - he’s down. Probably a little more down for unhinged decisions in this case since he knows everything my bio-father did to me.

2024.05.28 16:56 letsgooff Poem For My Oreo

Poem For My Oreo
Oreo (11m Morkie) was diagnosed with Mitral Valve Disease (MVD), which will eventually progress into Congestive Heart Failure (CHF). Here’s a poem I wrote for my sweet boy.
As I watch you take a breath
I remember you caring for me
When I thought about death
I just want you to be pain free
Meeting you when I was just eleven
At the very first moment
It felt like I was in heaven
There is going to be a huge dent
In my heart without you there
But I’m going to cherish everyday
That you are still here
I want you to hear me say
Oreo I love you more than anything
I hope that you’re still here next Spring 🖤🤍

2024.05.28 15:53 BOBOdablo Honest review from a brand new player

As the title says , I never watched or hear anything about this game so I was brand new to the experience and since it came to pc I had to give it a try and here is my review ...
Game looks beautiful considering I was playing on low settings with fsr 3 system toggled and still had great experience
Combat at the start of the game was much more enjoyable than at the end ... At the start you could one tap enemies which gave you that realistic feel which you lost later in the game , I had to 2 strike archers to die (i was playing the game on HARD difficulty so maybe thats why) but mid and late game when you got introduced to stances which are cool but you are forced to use them to defeat certain enemies which I didnt like, it would be more enjoyable if I can just pick one stance and then get skills to deal with all enemies but just a personal thing.
Missions were kinda all the same (tail, help npcs, conquer outposts etc.) got pretty boring very fast but the characters were good and I liked them ,cant believe tomoe is still out there considering she was one of the starting quests...
Now skills and upgrades I found kinda pointless and not vaulable , remember I beat the game on hard difficulty using beginner armor (one that reveals more of the map, I think it looked cool ) and rarely found myself using bow or other trowables excpet kunais those very kinda handy
Story is kinda boring and too predictable , I already kinda knew what to expect from certain characters even from the start , I expected tomoe going rogue , red samurai is fake ,takas pointless death and uncle going against you maybe just beacuse I played a lost of singleplayer games , but I think jin had a great character development .
Other than that I found traversing the map kinda slow and clunky becuase you cant manualy jump on horse After act 1 you already kinda experienced all the game has to offer ,only new things after act 1 were grapling hook which was very situational and blow dart but maybe im wrong on that . I think that the game was lacking bosses but I liked the duel system in the game I just wish there was a lot more and more variety about them there were only like 3 major bosses in the game which I found lame considering how long the game is ...
Now the final boss fight was unsatisfying im just gonna say it the whole game was building for this moment and it was just not satisfying at all , first duel with khan where he runs off and then on the ship with bunch of mongels where he switches 2 stances and thats it , felt very bland and not rewarding going through whole game for such a weak ending .
Considering all that im rating the game 6/10 , maybe even 6,8/10 because its unique and the only one of that kind and that narrative.

"By Jove! Is she, though? Tell her I am sorry to hear it, will you, Carlyle? But—I say! Will she smell the smoke?" asked he, with a mixture of alarm and concern in his face.
"The earl and Lady Isabel."
Into the mundane mire collapse at length some day.
At the time of Pao-yü‘s illness, Chia Yün had spent a couple of days in the inner apartments, so that he remembered half of the inmates of note, and the moment he set eyes upon this servant-girl he knew that it was Hsi Jen; and that she was in Pao-yü‘s rooms on a different standing to the rest. Now therefore that she brought the tea in herself and that Pao-yü was, besides, sitting by, he rose to his feet with alacrity and put on a smile. "Sister," he said, "how is it that you are pouring tea for me? I came here to pay uncle a visit; what’s more I’m no stranger, so let me pour it with my own hands!"
These words so harassed Hsi Jen that she hastened to put her hand over his mouth. "Speak decently," she said; "I was on account of this just about to admonish you, and now here you are uttering all this still more loathsome trash."
And she was ill. Though her mind was again at work with schemes on which she would not have busied herself without hope, yet she had not recovered from the actual bodily prostration to which she had been compelled to give way when first told of the robbery on her return from the theatre. There had been moments then in which she thought that her heart would have broken; moments in which, but that the power of speech was wanting, she would have told everything to Lucinda Roanoke. When Mrs. Carbuncle was marching up-stairs with the policemen at her heels she would willingly have sold all her hopes, Portray Castle, her lovers, her necklace, her income, her beauty, for any assurance of the humblest security. With that quickness of intellect which was her peculiar gift, she had soon understood, in the midst of her sufferings, that her necklace had been taken by thieves whose robbery might assist her for a while in keeping her secret, rather than lead to the immediate divulging of it. Neither Camperdown nor Bunfit had been at work among the boxes. Her secret had been discovered, no doubt, by Patience Crabstick, and the diamonds were gone. But money also was taken, and the world need not know that the diamonds had been there. But Lord George knew. And then there arose to her that question: Had the diamonds been taken in consequence of that revelation to Lord George? It was not surprising that in the midst of all this Lizzie should be really ill.
"Then half that sum," she reflected, knowing how useless it was to contend with Lord Mount Severn when he got upon the stilts of "duty." "Indeed, two hundred a year will be ample; it will seem like riches to me."
"He is a strange man," said the doctor to Johnson; "he even astonishes me. He is one of the most powerful natures I have ever studied in my life."
When Rodney detailed to his friend the catastrophe that had occurred and all its sad consequences, Mr. Vigo heard him in silence, occasionally nodding his head in sympathy or approbation, or scrutinising a statement with his keen hazel eye. When his visitor had finished, he said—
"‘You acted for the best, my man. Now search the place carefully, while I stand here. I am on my parole, I shall not run away. Jacob, go down and help them.’
"A dishonest dealer in diamonds will probably realise the plunder — after some years. There would be something very alluring in the theft of articles of great value, were it not that, when got, they at once become almost valueless by the difficulty of dealing with them. Supposing I had the necklace!"
"Fail," answered she, with flashing eyes. "I shall fail giving evidence, if you mean that. They don’t get me up to their justice-room, neither by force or stratagem."
"And you are still in love with her?"
Ming Yen, upon seeing him go on in this way, felt prompted, with the idea of affording his mind some distraction, to think of this and to devise that expedient; but everything had been indulged in with surfeit by Pao-yü, and there was only this resource, (that suggested itself to him,) of which Pao-yü had not as yet had any experience. Bringing his reflections to a close, he forthwith came over to a bookshop, and selecting novels, both of old and of the present age, traditions intended for outside circulation on Fei Yen, Ho Te, Wu Tse-t’ien, and Yang Kuei-fei, as well as books of light literature consisting of strange legends, he purchased a good number of them with the express purpose of enticing Pao-yü to read them. As soon as Pao-yü caught sight of them, he felt as if he had obtained some gem or jewel. "But you mustn’t," Ming Yen went on to enjoin him, "take them into the garden; for if any one were to come to know anything about them, I shall then suffer more than I can bear; and you should, when you go along, hide them in your clothes!"
She ceased and began the song, singing it exquisitely, in a low, sweet, earnest tone, the chords of the accompaniment, at its conclusion, dying off gradually into silence.
The woman listened patiently to her arguments, but she could find no words to say anything to her by way of reply. Nor did she have the audacity to protract her stay. So flying into a huff, she took Chui Erh along with her, and there and then made her way out.
"Look at this vixen!" Ch’ing Wen shouted. "If I don’t ask for her, she won’t come. Had there been any monthly allowances issued and fruits distributed here, you would have been the first to run in! But approach a bit! Am I tigress to gobble you up?"
They went up to the death-chamber, Mr. Carlyle procuring the key. It was the only time that he entered it. Very peaceful she looked now, her pale features so composed under her white cap and hands. Miss Carlyle and Joyce had done all that was necessary; nobody else had been suffered to approach her. Lord Mount Severn leaned over her, tracing the former looks of Isabel; and the likeness grew upon him in a wonderful degree.
"You may laugh as much as you please, Uncle Sam, but I intend to try it. I must try to keep my path to — somewhere."
Mr. Camperdown’s voice, as he put to her this vital question, was severe, and almost justified the little burst of sobs which came forth as a prelude to Lizzie’s answer. "I did not know what I was doing. I don’t know what you expect from me. You had been persecuting me ever since Sir Florian’s death, about the diamonds, and I didn’t know what I was to do. They were my own, and I thought I was not obliged to tell everybody where I kept them. There are things which nobody tells. If I were to ask you all your secrets would you tell them? When Sir Walter Scott was asked whether he wrote the novels, he didn’t tell."
Manoel and Fragoso, fifty paces further on, after swiftly running round one of the spurs of the bank, saw two men standing face to face to each other.
"It hasn’t come altogether from him, Lady Fawn."
Tai-yü smiled sarcastically. "In that case," she rejoined, "you had better specially engage a troupe and select those I like sung for my benefit; for on this occasion you can’t be so impertinent as to make use of their expense to ask me what I like!"
骑士一班的诚意无可挑剔。作为本次考核最有优势的班级,全班主动前来表示与魔法一班联合,条件也极其优厚,魔法一班没有任何不答应的理由。同盟瞬间完成。
作为老师的丝予看着讲台前的龙当当和龙空空兄弟二人,也不禁心生奇异之感,这就是天才吗?这次的同盟,无疑让身为班长的龙家兄弟拥有了更高的威望,接下来就看考核了。
考核对于整个一年级来说都是仓促的。在很多班级,尤其是法系班级的班主任们看来,这简直就是胡来。一群根本就学到什么东西的孩子,能考核出什么来?
但是,新任年级组长的决定他们也无力反抗,老师还不得用任何方式影响考核,一切全由学生自主。
周末一大早,所有一年级学员就全都集中在了圣殿学院的大操场上。
操场最前方,那叶双手背后,邋遢的形象略有改善,大手一挥,“出发!”
出了学院,然后就出了腾龙城。一路步行,两个小时后,九百人的队伍被拉到了野外。
当所有人被命令停下步伐的时候,前方是一片丘陵地带,丘陵上植物茂盛,这一片地形十分复杂,用山林来形容是最合适的。
“龙当当、龙空空出列。”那叶在前面面无表情的说道。
龙当当、龙空空分别从魔法一班和骑士一班的队伍中走了出来。
“基于你们本身徽章一百积分的特殊性,允许你们提前出发一刻钟。接下来的考核,将在这片山林地带进行。老师们会掌控范围,到范围边缘时必须折返,不得脱离考核范围。考核一直到明天傍晚结束,在这过程中,考核范围会逐渐收缩,获得五个积分以上的学员可以主动退出考核。积分不够者,必须一直留在考核区域内争取获得积分。你们可以出发了,一刻钟后,其他所有班级出发。现在你们可以彼此拉开距离,等时间到达后即刻进入考核区域。”
对于考核的具体要求,龙当当和龙空空也是眼前才知道,兄弟二人对视一眼,也不多说,立刻朝着前方的山林区域跑去。
龙当当看向魔法一班的同学们,抬手指了指空中。
很快,两人就攀上了第一个小山包,然后消失不见了。
“慢点,你慢点。仗着你灵力多是不是?”很快,龙空空就叫了起来。
从灵力上来看,龙空空就算加上外灵力和最近元涡灵炉的提升,距离一百点灵力也还差得远呢,自然比龙当当差了不少。
龙当当放慢脚步,一边四下观望着地形,一边对龙空空道:“最近苟老都教你啥了?”
龙空空翻了个白眼,道:“回头我就跟他告状去,说你叫他苟老。滑步、格挡、寸劲。就这三种。格挡和寸劲我算是入门吧,滑步那绝对是炉火纯青。”一边说着,脚下微微发力,一個滑步就已经出去了四五米,遇到凸起的石头还来了个变向,确实是有几分行云流水的味道。
“你那两个老师呢?教你啥了?”
龙当当嘴角抽搐了一下,“回头咱俩换换,让你试试?”
一边说着,他右手抬起,淡淡的青光在掌心之中凝聚,大约积蓄了三秒左右的时间,手腕一抖,一道风刃飞射而出,身边一株大树的树枝顿时掉落下来,砸在地面上,吓了龙空空一跳。
“你能施展魔法了?这么快?”龙空空惊讶的看着哥哥。
“嗯,风刃可以了。需要点蓄力时间。”紫天舞教的东西他学的很快,但毕竟也只有几天时间,哪怕是风元素之子的天赋,现在也只是勉强掌握了风刃。但他这风刃,比一般初学的魔法师明显要强不少。
蓄力,再次释放出风刃,切割着掉落在地面的粗树枝,龙当当又从怀中摸出两根绳子。
粗树枝被他切成三根长约一米二左右的木棍,握在手中挥舞了一下,还算趁手。其中一根给了龙空空,自己则是拎起两根。
“绳子干嘛用?”龙空空问道。
龙当当道:“爬树的时候,把木棍绑在身上啊!”
考核不允许携带任何武器,但可没说不能就地取材制造武器。这三根木棍就是他们现在的武器了。
一边说着,他把自己手中的木棍先递给龙空空,然后猛然跃起,抓住旁边一株大树的枝丫,向上一荡,三两下就爬了上去。
龙空空都看的惊了,他只觉得龙当当身轻如燕,竟是像变了个人。
风元素之子体质,让龙当当身体周围时刻都萦绕着风元素的力量,身体轻盈是最基本的特质。
绳子从树上垂下来,龙当当把弟弟拉上了树,两人在树冠之中躲了起来。
算算时间,一刻钟也差不多要到了。
龙当当也不闲着,坐在树冠上,蓄力,释放风刃,再蓄力,再释放风刃。切割着大树上那一根根粗大的枝丫。很快就有很多枝干掉落在地。
龙空空道:“伱这是干嘛?树秃了咱们还怎么躲?”
龙当当淡淡的道:“我们需要躲吗?别忘了,哥可是准骑士了。除了我,全年级谁能有一百以上的总灵力?而且,马上我们不是就和大家汇合了吗?我这是先给你们班同学弄点武器。哪用得了明天,今天咱们就把考核结束了。”
一边说着,他又凝聚出一道风刃,然后朝着空中释放而出。青光足足冲起三十米,才在空中渐渐消散。
时间不长,远处,他们之前过来的方向,一团金光在空中绽开,虽然是白天,但还是能够清晰的看到。照明弹。
这就是龙当当之前布置好的联络方式,他是在告诉魔法一班自己所在的位置,魔法一班和骑士一班的同学们在汇合之后就会第一时间赶过来和他们两个汇合在一起。 一刻钟的时间,他们本来也没有过于深入,时间不长,两个班五十八名同学就汇聚了过来。
看到他们到来,龙当当带着龙空空这才重新回到地面上。
“把树枝弄成适合自己的木棍,人手一根。魔法一班的也一样。”龙当当大声说道。
两个班的同学完全认不出哪个是龙当当,哪个是龙空空,听他开口,反正就都当做是自己班的班长了。在龙当当的风刃切割之下,很快,周围几株大树的枝丫就变成了他们手中的武器。
在目前学员们都不会太多技能的情况下,手中有武器和没有武器,那绝对是天差地别的。
龙空空向溪风问道:“刚才你们有没有看到近战系有哪个班级在这边附近?”
溪风道:“好像看到战士二班也朝着这边过来了,在那个方向。”一边说着,他指向一个方向。
龙空空看向龙当当,道:“走,咱们先弄那些近战系的,抢了他们再说。”
众人现在手中都有了木棍,连魔法师都是信心爆棚。在龙当当、龙空空的带领下,趁着这会儿体力充沛,立刻出发。
很快,他们就看到了前方不远处一群人正在向山林深处行进着。
龙空空断喝一声,“前面的人,站住。小爷在此。”
龙当当在后面一挥手,魔法一班和骑士一班的学生们顿时都原地蹲了下来。
正走在前面赶路的战士二班学生们听到有人呼喊,顿时转过头来,一眼就看到了手持木棍的龙空空。
龙空空那是什么?那是一百积分啊!山林之中视野不佳,再加上龙当当和龙空空先前都是单独进入的山林,他们自然想不到会有什么埋伏。
只是对视了一眼,就听战士二班一名学生叫道:“弄他,一百积分呢。”下一刻,三十名学生嗷嗷叫着就冲向了龙空空。
龙空空挥舞了一下手中的木棍,转身就跑。战士二班的学生从高处跑下来,速度很快,飞速接近。借着冲势,势头那是相当的凶猛。
但也就在这时,一道道高大的身影猛然蹿出,战士二班的学生想要刹车都已经来不及了。
一根根木棍带着凶悍的破空声劈头盖脸的就砸了过来。
一声声惨叫此起彼伏,只用了不到三分钟的时间,战士二班的全体学员就都已经被打倒在地。
嗯,和骑士一班一样惨的是,战士班级的女学员也很少,至少战士二班没有。一个个被揍得鼻青脸肿,身上的徽章自然也是被洗劫一空。三十枚徽章到手。
按照规则,每枚徽章是一个积分,一年级一共九百名学生,就是九百积分,额外加上龙当当、龙空空这两百,也就是一千零九十八积分而已,最终能够获得考核成功的,十不足一。毕竟,每个人需要五个积分才行。
一下就弄到了三十枚徽章,顿时令魔法一班和骑士一班的学员们气势大盛。留下怨声载道的战士二班,众人再次上路。
这时候各个班级都才刚刚进入考核区域,基本上都是小心翼翼,提防着与别的班级碰撞。
当魔法一班和骑士一班的联盟碰到第二个班级的时候,没有第一次那么好运,被对方也是第一时间发现了。这次碰到的是刺客学院的班级,人家一看他们人多势众,掉头就跑。不得不说,刺客班级的学生速度足够快,愣是没追上,只是抓到了落后的几名学生,又缴获了五枚徽章而已。而连续的奔跑追击,让魔法一班的众人已经有些疲惫了,毕竟,体能不是他们的强项。
龙空空双手叉腰,扭头看向龙当当,道:“现在咋办?这考核区域还挺大的。想要拿到足够多的积分,要碰到人才行。这么找下去,体力都够呛。学院连食物和饮水都没发,这是还要让我们野外生存。”
龙当当道:“这种情况我预料到了。这次的考核实际上就是考验我们野外生存和团队配合。我估计那叶老师就没打算有几个能通过考核的。甚至更多的是让大家围追咱们。”
龙空空点了点头,道:“是那老头的阴险风格。哥,你们班里面有没有能释放火系魔法的?我有个想法。”
龙当当心中一动,“你不是要放火烧山吧?”
龙空空嘿嘿一笑,“还是你懂我啊!这片山林周围没有村镇,整体面积实际上也不算太大。现在是春季,天干物燥的。我们要是点把火,发现着火了,同学们必定会慌不择路,我们只要顺着火区的边缘行进,肯定能碰上被大火逼出来的他们。那就省事儿多了。学院那么多老师看着呢,也不会有啥伤亡出现。别忘了,苟老那可是九阶骑士。火烧大了他也能阻止。”
龙当当双眼微眯,“是个办法,不过,回头要是他收拾你,你可要有心理准备。”
龙空空笑眯眯的道:“准备了,放心。”
一个小时后,圣殿学院腾龙城分院一年级新生的第一次考核被提前终止了。没办法,因为考核区域已经有五分之一着火了,新生们更是鸡飞狗跳。继续下去,整片深林恐怕都将不保。
一片甘霖降下,熄灭了山火。等到一年级所有学生重新聚集在出发点的时候。那叶脸色极为难看的盯视着依旧聚集在一起的魔法一班和骑士一班联盟。
“谁!是谁放的火?”那叶怒不可遏的怒吼着。
“报告老师,是龙当当放的火。”龙空空义正严词的大步走出,“是他说的,这是战术。”
龙当当看着出卖了自己的弟弟,一把搂住他的肩膀,“这就是你的准备?”
龙空空回头笑眯眯的看向他,不以为耻反以为荣的点点头,道:“对呀,老头子说,你的老师是莽骑士,我相信以他那安全第一的作风,肯定不敢把你怎样。再说了,这次考核本来就是他算计我们,我们反算计他一下,怎么了?你说对不?亲爱的哥哥。”

2024.05.28 15:18 Few-Spot-6475 [Spoilers Main] The great philosopher Socrates and Maegor Targaryen.

This is all from the Internet. A click away from any phone.
Socrates was a Greek philosopher from Athens who is credited as the founder of Western philosophy and among the first moral philosophers of the ethical tradition of thought.
An enigmatic figure, Socrates authored no texts and is known mainly through the posthumous accounts of classical writers, particularly his students Plato and Xenophon. These accounts are written as dialogues, in which Socrates and his interlocutors examine a subject in the style of question and answer; they gave rise to the Socratic dialogue literary genre.
Contradictory accounts of Socrates make a reconstruction of his philosophy nearly impossible, a situation known as the Socratic problem. Socrates was a polarizing figure in Athenian society. In 399 BC, he was accused of impiety and corrupting the youth. After a trial that lasted a day, he was sentenced to death. He spent his last day in prison, refusing offers to help him escape.
There were four charges that were brought against Socrates. They were that he argued the weaker claim over the stronger claim, that he argue the physical over the metaphysical, that he was against the gods and that he was corrupting the youth.
Socrates was found guilty by a jury of 501 Athenians and was sentenced to drink a deadly poison, named hemlock. Many scholars have argued that the charges against Socrates were politically motivated and have understood his trial and conviction as an attack upon freedom of speech and an indictment of democracy.
The Last Moments of Maegor’s Reign, losing against a misogynistic society led by petty and ambitious nobles and against the Faith of the Seven, a religion that enforces gender roles and inequality between men and women.
By 48 AC Maegor's tyranny could no longer be borne by the realm. At Storm's End Aenys I's last surviving son, Prince Jaehaerys, put forth his claim to the throne, supported by Lord Rogar Baratheon, who was named Protector of the Realm and Hand of the King by the prince. Jaehaerys had two dragons on his side, his own mount Vermithor and his sister's mount Silverwing, against Maegor's Balerion. Learning of her brother's claim, Queen Rhaena Targaryen fled from Maegor in the night, escaping on her dragon Dreamfyre with the Valyrian blade Blackfyre, and her daughter, Princess Aerea, adding a third dragon to her brothers cause. Lord Edwell Celtigar resigned his position as Hand and returned to Claw Isle and Grand Maester Benifer secretly escaped on a ship to Pentos. Ser Olyver Bracken and Ser Raymund Mallery, two of Maegor's Kingsguard, also deserted him. Lord Daemon Velaryon, the admiral of the royal fleet, was the first of the great lords to forsake Maegor, taking the royal fleet with him, and many other lords followed his example. The great houses of Lannister, Tyrell, and Arryn came out against Maegor and in the riverlands House Tully gave support to Septon Moon and Ser Joffrey Doggett, the leaders of the Poor Fellows.
Maegor called his banners in response, but few answered, giving Maegor an army of barely four thousand soldiers. Despite this, Maegor refused to surrender. At the end of the war council, Maegor remained behind alone in the throne room to brood. He was found dead the next morning by Queen Elinor, seated on the Iron Throne with his robes covered in blood and his wrists slashed. A spike from one of the swords on the throne behind him was impaled through the back of his neck. How Maegor died was never discovered. Some say he had been killed by Queen Elinor, others that he had been killed by a knight of his own Kingsguard. Yet others say he had been killed by a builder who escaped the slaughter three years earlier and desired revenge, and many believe that Maegor had been killed by the throne itself. Others believe that Maegor killed himself by opening his wrists on the blades of the Iron Throne.
The fate of Maegor’s loyal supporters.
Owen Bush was a knight of the Kingsguard during the reign of King Maegor I Targaryen. When Maegor suspected Queen Tyanna of the Tower of betrayal, he had Owen and his sworn brother, Ser Maladon Moore, bring her to the dungeons, where she confessed.
Maegor the Cruel gradually lost political support, resulting in a rival threat in his nephew, Prince Jaehaerys Targaryen. Two of his Kingsguard defected to Jaehaerys, and Maegor lost a third guard when Owen was found dead outside a brothel in 48 AC, his member cut off and stuffed in his mouth.
Maladon Moore was a knight from House Moore and a member of the Kingsguard during the reign of King Maegor I Targaryen. When the king suspected Queen Tyanna of the Tower of treason, Maladon and Owen were dispatched to seize the queen and deliver her to the dungeons, where Maegor was said to have slain her while Maladon was present.
After Maegor died in 48 AC and his nephew King Jaehaerys I Targaryen took the Iron Throne, Maladon was accused of being involved in the death of Queen Ceryse, allegedly restraining her when Ser Owen accidentally killed her. Maladon denied these charges, insisting she died of "shrewishness". While the charges were never proven, Maladon lost his head for his involvement in Queen Tyanna's death, of which he was guilty.
When Queen Tyanna of the Tower admitted to poisoning Queen Alys Harroway during her pregnancy, Tyanna promised the same would happen to Elinor. Tyanna was proven correct when Elinor gave birth to a stillborn abomination said to have been born eyeless and with small wings. Elinor was one of the two wives who survived the king, the other being Queen Rhaena Targaryen.
After King Maegor's death, Lord Daemon Velaryon proposed that King Jaehaerys I Targaryen marry Queen Elinor to reconcile with Maegor's supporters when a bride was being considered for the king, but nothing came of the proposal. After Jaehaerys's ascent, Elinor departed King's Landing dressed in the robes of a penitent. She visited her two elder sons at the Eyrie and Highgarden before retiring to her father's seat at the Three Towers with her youngest son.
Later, King Jaehaerys commanded Elinor to go forth and spread his Doctrine of Exceptionalism to the peoples of the Seven Kingdoms, as well as the goodness of Jaehaerys and Alysanne, becoming one of the Seven Speakers. Her queenly raiment became shabbier and more threadbare each day, and she eventually gave up all claims to nobility, becoming Mother Elinor at the great motherhouse in Lannisport.
House Rosby was one of the first houses to yield peacefully to House Targaryen during Aegon's Conquest, surrendering to Rhaenys Targaryen and Meraxes. The Rosby lands became part of the crownlands surrounding King's Landing. Lord Jon Rosby was named Warden of the Sands by King Aegon I Targaryen during the First Dornish War, but Jon was killed in the Defenestration of Sunspear.
Ser Rayford Rosby defended King Maegor I Targaryen during his trial of seven, but Rayford was slain during the fighting. Lord Rosby remained loyal to the king even as his downfall became certain, and was one of the last to see the king alive. In the chaos that followed the discovery of Maegor's body, Lord Rosby drank a cup of hemlock to join his king in death. His young son received forgiveness from King Jaehaerys I Targaryen at Dragonstone.
In 47 AC, King Maegor was dealing with the issue of his lack of heirs, despite having already married three women. Lord Daemon Velaryon, Rhaena's uncle and a member of Maegor's small council, advised Maegor to wed Rhaena, to unite their claims and prevent new rebellions, and to gain her as a hostage against any potential schemes of Dowager Queen Alyssa. Later that year, Maegor summoned Rhaena to King's Landing, and she did not defy him. At the Red Keep, Maegor married Rhaena in a triple ceremony, together with Elinor Costayne and Jeyne Westerling. As the three women were all widows of men Maegor had killed, they became known as the "Black Brides". Immediately following the wedding, Maegor declared Rhaena's elder daughter Aerea as his heir until he had sons of his own, while disinheriting Rhaena's youngest brother Jaehaerys in the same decree.
After Maegor’s death, discussion arose as to who had the better claim to the Iron Throne. There were some who suggested that Rhaena's claim, as the firstborn child of King Aenys I Targaryen and Queen Alyssa Velaryon, was the strongest. Her gender argued against her, however, and Rhaena herself had come to loathe King's Landing and its court. The claims of her daughters were argued for as well. If Maegor was to be considered a usurper, the true king would have been Rhaena's first husband, Aegon, who had claimed the throne before Jaehaerys had. As such, some suggested the throne should pass to one of his daughters by Rhaena, Aerea or Rhaella.
As time passed, Rhaena began to resent the fact that her claim to the throne, and that of her daughters, had been dismissed in favor of Jaehaerys, to whom she began to refer as "my baby brother". In addition, Rhaena begrudged her mother for promoting Jaehaerys's claim over her own.
Ser Walton Towers was granted Harrenhal by King Maegor I Targaryen in 44 AC after winning a melee in Lord Harroway's Town, but Walton died soon after from his wounds. Harrenhal thus passed to his eldest son. Lord Jordan remained loyal to Maegor during the king's wars, and Lord Rosby were the last to see the king alive before Maegor's death on the Iron Throne. Along with Lords Darklyn and Staunton, Jordan yielded the Red Keep to Prince Jaehaerys, Princess Rhaena, and Princess Alysanne Targaryen. The three lords were sent to the black cells, but were eventually pardoned by King Jaehaerys I after surrendering some of their land.
Jordan eventually died of a chest congestion. Harrenhal passed to Jordan's last surviving son, Maegor Towers, as Jordan's older sons had all died fighting for King Maegor.
Maegor's father, Lord Jordan Towers, was one of the last lords of the Seven Kingdoms who remained loyal to King Maegor I Targaryen. All of Jordan's sons died fighting in the king's wars, with the exception of young Maegor.
Maegor became Lord Towers after the death of his father due to a chest congestion. When King Jaehaerys I Targaryen began a royal progress in 53 AC to celebrate the new year, his first stop was to see the new Lord of Harrenhal, then only nine years of age.
Maegor was an impoverished lord who resided in the Tower of Dread with only a cook and three men-at-arms. Since the rest of Harrenhal was empty, King Jaehaerys settled his widowed sister, Rhaena Targaryen, in the Widow's Tower in 56 AC. Maegor and Rhaena eventually became friends, and she cared for his servants after Maegor passed away in 61 AC. Harrenhal was granted to House Strong after Rhaena passed away in 73 AC.
Maegor was sickly and poor.
Socrates speaks his last words to Crito: "Crito, we owe a cock to Asclepius. Please, don't forget to pay the debt". Asclepius was the Greek god for curing illness, and it is likely that Socrates' last words were implied to mean that death is the cure, and freedom of the soul from the body.
Asclepius, Greco-Roman god of medicine, son of Apollo (god of healing, truth, and prophecy) and the mortal princess Coronis. The Centaur Chiron taught him the art of healing. At length Zeus (the king of the gods), afraid that Asclepius might render all men immortal, slew him with a thunderbolt.
Zeus saw Asclepius & his medical skills as a threat to the eternal division between humanity & the gods. Asclepius met a tragic end when he was killed by a thunderbolt thrown by Zeus.
Socrates ultimately does not fear death because of his innocence, he believes that death is not feared because it may be one of the greatest blessings of the soul.
The reasons for Socrates not escaping when he had the chance the night prior; are made explicit before the Laws make their speech. Because escape defies the will of the Athenians, it requires stealth and bribery, shameful practices that are unjustified in the current situation.
Socrates Feared Democracies Would Elect Demagogues. The term arose in Greece in the fifth century BCE, right around Socrates's time, and is often used negatively. Socrates himself was extremely worried that the democratic format would give rise to a demagoguery.
Demagogues are political leaders who seek support by appealing to the desires and prejudices of ordinary people rather than by using rational argument.
Modern demagogues include Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Huey Long, Father Coughlin, and Joseph McCarthy, all of whom built mass followings the same way that Cleon did: by exciting the passions of the masses against customs and norms of the aristocratic elites of their times.
This is why Maegor and Socrates died. They challenged authority and lost. They were silenced by the powerful lords and by the elected council of Athens whom were given power by the common people.
They were “heroes”.
“My own heroes are the dreamers, those men and women who tried to make the world a better place than when they found it, whether in small ways or great ones. Some succeeded, some failed, most had mixed results... but it is the effort that's heroic, as I see it. Win or lose, I admire those who fight the good fight.
George R.R. Martin.
King Maegor had married all his brides and gave them Queenly status.
Jeyne was married to Lord Alyn Tarbeck. She was widowed when Alyn died during the Battle Beneath the Gods Eye in 43 AC. Jeyne was pregnant when her husband died, and gave him a posthumous son a few months later.
In 47 AC, Jeyne was being courted by a younger son of Lyman Lannister, the Lord of Casterly Rock, when King Maegor I Targaryen sent for her to be wed to him. She married Maegor in a ceremony at King's Landing, along with Lady Elinor Costayne and Princess Rhaena Targaryen. As all three women had been widowed due to Maegor, they became known as the "Black Brides". The stories told of the wedding night claim that Jeyne was given a fertility potion by Queen Tyanna of the Tower, and either drank it, or threw it in Tyanna's face. After the wedding, Queen Jeyne's son was confirmed as Lord of Tarbeck Hall, and sent to Casterly Rock to be raised as a ward of Lyman Lannister.
Lord Edwell Celtigar, the Hand of the King, announced half a year after the wedding that Queen Jeyne was pregnant, and Queen Elinor's pregnancy was announced shortly afterwards. Maegor, joyful, showered both his wives with gifts and honors, and granted new lands and offices to their fathers, brothers, and uncles. Unfortunately, Jeyne's labor began three months early, and she gave birth to a stillborn child, monstrous, lacking arms and legs but possessing both male and female genitalia. Jeyne herself died soon after.
In 48 AC, Tyanna of the Tower confessed to having poisoned Jeyne's child in the womb.

George is a better writer than we’ve given him credit for.
