Workaholic

 

At the end of a long day

filled with stress and turmoil

the man heard his heart say

why all this endless toil


You work so hard

from dawn to dusk

maybe let down your guard

you ain't Elon Musk


Work is a cope

of the restless of mind

but there is still hope

you can choose to be kind


So be kind to yourself man

and your inner child within

really do whatever you can

lest the child goes Slytherin


Stop running from the true you

dreams unchased is a crime

life gives chances a few

my friend, now is the time

There are reasons to appreciate life of course even though we don’t understand a lot of them yet (since philosophy, including moral philosophy hasn’t ma...

Old movies are better?

 Someone said some time back "I love older movies, they are so much better. They don't make movies like that anymore - older movies are so much better". I promptly pointed out this reasoning is mistaken. The fact is that there are a LOT more older movies than newer movies. Like a lot lot more. If you classify newer movies as movies released in the last 5 years, there are like perhaps a 100 times more movies made from the dawn of cinema till 5 years ago. So even if say only 5% of older movies are good as compared to 10% of newer movies (which is the other side of the preposition) even then there would be 50 times more "good" older movies then newer movies.
