Love women for their limits. Truly. I'm fucking serious.
God knows they love us for ours.
I think that the greater mandate would be to love women/love men DESPITE their limits.

Limits doesn't mean "bad".

The worst thing about the world of "busy-ness" ("business") is that it robs me of the emotional subjective distance-strength I need to philosophize properly. I have been able to philosophize through pain for the last few years, but now philosophy approaches not pain but its overcoming-- in joy. The demands of joy are infinitely greater than are the demands of pain, it seems.

So I guess I'll keep drinking and smoking, anything to keep the world at bay long enough to continue to be capable of formulating even a single thought.
The loss of true patrons of thinking and the arrival of the total-capitalized world is the gravest danger to philosophy. Look at what this change has done to philosophy in academia, for example.

If this is in response to my above post, then no, limits certainly doesn't mean bad.
It simply means, using your username, that there are certain things ~~ talents, gifts, which we perceive we are not capable of. Now these things may be wrongly or rightly perceived. We simply need to step out on that limb to see how "real" they are.
Realistically speaking, I could never become a mathematician or a physicist. I have my limits but I can be the best legal assistant there is and a pretty good poet, if I must say so myself. Even there (the poet) I can experience my limitations but I also struggle to transcend them.
Limitations are not good nor bad. They are just part of reality. Tnankfully, evolution/genes, right perception, free will, et cetera, have both compensated and complemented our limitations.
I used the word DESPITE because it is more realistic, in my opinion, when the emotions flow in seeing our own or others' limitations and accepting them. This is probably why, DESPITE certain unappealing limitations which I perceive within him, I transcended my biases and voted for Trump.

Fun fact #9: Humans often prefer victimhood to truths.

Fun fact #10: being a victim somehow allows one to remain in contact with a truth without getting too close for comfort.

Fun fact #11: one woman in a dress is worth ten thousand women in pant suits.
I got far too attracted to a woman in a black business skirt outfit with a leather jacket tight around her waist, capably racing on black stilettos into a bank with two coffees.
Im too accepting of the Patrician love game to have it easy in my current life. But it serves as a standard; as long as true love with a woman represents an ideal, a goal, and not something as mundane as to simply exist, I can practice all the arts. When love exists, thats the only art.
Canada comes from kanada, which means a group of huts. The French dude that talked to some locals mistook it for the name of the country.
Montreals discovery (yes, it wasnt merely founded) is described in an old English epistle as follows: the ship sailed down the earlier titled St Lawrence river and hit on "an island with a lofty mountain". The mountain and by extension the island were named Mont Royal. The city came to be as this double royalty. The first road must have been Mt Royal - which does indeed run down from the mountain. And the first thing I noticed on that mountain, where I first met Pezer, is that it is of the loftiest stone.
I like to crack walnuts in my fist. I do have need for two, unlike my father. I like getting to know my pellet gun. I like how I am able to throw a knife by its blade into a wall twenty feet away.
Pezer cant do this, he is pretty accurate tossing it straight forward, but that dont kill a prey.
The Canadian Squirrel somehow manages to trump the American Eagle in the high balance of its happiness. Squirrels break my heart, they are perfection of trust. To see a squirrel wavelength its way across the road, for this I came. But then a first squirrel dared its way onto me. It circled me like a tornado on the lofty mountain. I could not believe it and I made my way back to the city through a vast hospital, giving as much as the love that excessed me onto the men and women I met on my jagged way down and onto the ragged walls of the heavy and worn labyrinth. The hospital is built against the mountain wall. It is lofty. Dirty and lofty, as so much of this city is. It can get immensely dirty as all its molecules are lofty.
- Why did the squirrel cross the road? - There is no why only because.
The first great tv event I ever saw was Michael Jackson on Oprah. The thing I remember was her announcement, the way she brought his name. No woman ever said a mans name more respectfully on live television. It takes an Aquarius to hail another so far beyond himself. The pathos of distance: friendship between mountains.
