Your right is only to perform your duty, but never to claim its fruit.
Let not the fruits of action be your motive, nor let your attachment be to inaction.
Bhagavad Gita – Chapter 2, Verse 47
He was curious, which is a great thing to be.
One night at ShinAnkleShoe’s house, I told him his new grey hairs made him look distinguished – he startled me by how suddenly and fully he BURST into laughter. And then we kept laughing about how that’s the only time “distinguished” is ever used as an adjective. (I’ve since tried sharing that sentiment with others; it’s never gone over quite the same.)
