Omne tempus Clodios, non omne Catones feret….Eleganter itaque ab Epicuro dictum puto: “potest nocenti contingere, ut lateat, latendi fides non potest,” aut si hoc modo melius hunc explicari posse iudicas sensum: “ideo non prodest latere peccantibus, quia latendi etiam si felicitatem habent, fiduciam non habent.” Ita est: tuta scelera esse possunt, secura esse non possunt.
- Seneca
Every generation produces a Clodius, but every one doesn’t make a Cato….So, I think that Epicurus put it well that “It’s possible for a guilty person to hide, but it’s impossible to trust the hiding.” Or, if you think it is better to convey the sense in this way: “There’s no advantage for people who screw up to hide because even if that have the good luck, there’s no promise of staying hidden.” I mean this: crimes can be safeguarded, but they can never be secure.”
the neil gaiman article... im far from the biggest fan of his works, having fallen out of love with the good omens tv series, however the sandman comics held a place in my heart and im not sure i can stand to look at them on my shelves anymore. i believe victims and i am in awe of the bravery of the two women for speaking out against such a public figure, and istg if i see his fucking blog on my dash after this...
I’ve been watching RTgames playthrough of Pokemon Scarlet, which is amazing. Unfortunately a side effect of this playthrough is that whenever I see other peoples characters from the game my brain takes a moment to process them. I am way too used to seeing the being that is lettuce that seeing a normal person in this game makes me brain lag.
