From my experience, I learned that there are only two basic ways to view and go about the world and life as a whole. One way is as a fighter, and the other one is as an architect and a builder. There is a beautiful quote I really like, by Heraclitus, and it goes like…

Partner.
I heard a quote the other day by Euripides that got me thinking, and it goes like this: “There is no worse evil than a bad woman; and nothing has ever been produced better than a good one.” I would like to rephrase that, bring it into our century, and say: There is nothing better…
Meaning and grounding.
