Anyways it's 18.50 i will go take a nap now xd then i'll read Milton's Paradise Lost AND eat chocolate because i can

[lady-nienna-the-magi]

Done: 90 min in total of boethius reading; as someone who is not monotheistic it's always so weird to read these "everything good comes from god who is good and somehow the evils of the world are just part of his good design" LIKE SINCE WHEN

But i do agree with Boethius, though i am too much on the Epikuroean side of things to really say so, but i say so: ppl will die at any case and everything you have will be taken from you, so instead of B who is like wait for heaven i say: go have fun while you can. Live your life bitch! Have fun! Do stuff! Be sensible tho don't waste all of your money but still have fun :) there's no shame in that :) live and be free
