A godly-thorough-Reformation,
Which always must be carry'd on,
And still be doing, never done:
As if Religion were intended
For nothing else but to be mended.

✒️ #SamuelButler, English poet and satirist, #DOTD 25 September 1680. #Poetry
The best therapist has fur and four legs. One of the day, you needed a dog who loved to play football and show off their tantrums.
The look of pretence, not knowing you.
The look of “Where’s my treat?”
The dog won, and the human who lost the treat.
The greatest pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too

In 1863, Samuel Butler warned: Machines will evolve — and replace us.
160 years later, his vision feels more prophetic than ever.
Was he right?

« We can no longer separate things as we once could: everything tends towards unity; one thing, one action, in one place, at one time. On the other hand, we can no longer unify … »
