@SherBeareth considering his views on violence, using a photo featuring an unsheathed sword is hilariously ironic.

Here's a bonus quote that's perhaps even more apposite:
“It is dangerous to be right when those in power are wrong.”

Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.

@CoolerPseudonym

Might recategorising some activities previously rejected on the basis of juvenilia allow for increased joy, lightness and blood flow?

Perhaps avoiding the mature approach of cognitating on which activities to reclassify could be acheived by experimentation?

Please do however remember the immortal caution of #Voltaire's reply on being invited to a second night of entertainments by the #MarquisDeSade.
"Once is philosophy, twice is perversion."
