We can afford that railroad, and all merely material stock, should lose some of its value, for that only compels us to live more simply and economically; but suppose that the value of life itself should be diminished!</blockquote><p><b>Henry David Thoreau</b> (1817-1862) American philosopher and writer<br>Speech (1854-07-04), “Slavery in Massachusetts,” Anti-Slavery Celebration, Framingham, Massachusetts</p> <p>Sourcing, notes: <a href="https://wist.info/thoreau-henry-david/14221/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">wist.info/thoreau-henry-david/…</a></p><p><a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quote</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quotes</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quotation</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=qotd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>qotd</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=thoreau" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>thoreau</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=badgovernment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>badgovernment</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=goodgovernment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>goodgovernment</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=government" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>government</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=humanlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>humanlife</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=life" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>life</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=values" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>values</span></a></p>

Let's take the time to acknowledge them and the danger we are in of losing them. Because how can we fight for what we don't recognize as being incredible yet fragile?</p><p>PS: We definitely didn't plan on this coming out on the day of the Canadian federal election, but so it goes.

Félicien Breton 🍉 🔻 🌱<p>I am driven by my emotions.</p><p>"Our opinions generally have emotional rather than intellectual roots, and indeed rationality largely functions as a post hoc justification. Our political opinions, ultimately, are what we feel about the world, not what we think about it. And in turn, our opinions about particular events have a lot to do with how we feel about the world in general. It’s not an exaggeration to say that most people’s views about the kind of things that happen today are extensions of concerns of their own ego. And consequently, invitations to change their minds because new facts emerge, or because old ideas are discredited by new evidence, are in fact a threat to the strength and even survival of that ego."</p><p>"But few people, especially those who have received a decent education, want to acknowledge that their views are based on emotion and not reason. They therefore try to argue".</p><p><a href="https://aurelien2022.substack.com/p/another-country" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span
