It's just another day for me. I was surprised when I looked up Friday the 13th to see the number of people who do have reactions to the date. The only time I think of 13 at all is when I purchase donuts or bagels. Is it a bakers dozen or a dozen for that price?
Dark chocolate is my favorite as well. I agree totally unadulterated chocolate is the only way to go. My husband teases me about a purist. My ice cream unadorned, my coffee black... no sweeteners or creamer for me.
"It would almost be arrogant to assume that out of countless billions of galaxies, each with billions of stars, and an increasing number of confirmed exoplanets, Earth is the only place where life has emerged." I have this argument with my mother constantly

I do like roses - but I think there are much more beautiful flowers out there to choose from. They are almost generic now (maybe I'm being unfair to the rose). I prefer a bunch of wildflowers - I love the unkemptness.
Be entirely self-determined and
ruled from within,
not from without.
Merely giving up a thing to secure a
better one is not true relinquishment.
Give it up because you see it is valueless. As you keep on giving up,
you will find that you grow spontaneously in intelligence and power and inexhaustible love and joy.
Desires and fears are not natural.
They are entirely mind-made.
You have to give up everything to know
that you need nothing, not even your body.
Your needs are unreal and your efforts are meaningless. You imagine that your possessions protect you.
In reality they make you vulnerable.
Realize yourself as away from all that can be pointed at as "this" or "that." You are unreachable by any sensory experience or verbal construction.
Turn away from them.
Refuse to impersonate.
