Michel de #Montaigne on #rationality (#Essays):
“Since it has pleased God to endue us with some capacity of #reason, to the end we may not, like brutes, be servilely subject and enslaved to the laws common to both, but that we should by judgment and a voluntary liberty apply ourselves to them, we ought, indeed, something to yield to the simple authority of nature, but not suffer ourselves to be tyrannically hurried away and transported by her; reason alone should have the conduct of our inclinations. I, for my part, have a strange disgust for those propensions that are started in us without the mediation and direction of the judgment.”

@tripu “Fuck you, if you expect reciprocation”
Yes, i agree. A nice guy that expects anything is not a nice guy at all.
A god should understand as much.
