Attitude, it can be your best friend or your worst enemy.
When it comes to wit I turn to Michael O'Donoghue, who basically said don't try to be clever with insults, cut straight to ugly."Brevity is the soul of wit" by Shakespeare is prob the quote that had the most influence on me. Before that I was like a WR poster, spamming paragraphs of discussion and debate when all I really needed to do was post like 5 words about my dick
That line never quite hit me until it was recapitulated by psychonaut and comic book writer Grant Morrison, who piggy-backed onto the concept of interconnectedness. That connection you feel to relatives, how even over great stretches of time and distance you still feel this closeness and to the extreme people have testified how they knew what was happening to a loved one without any clue but intuition. If we could appreciate that bond when it comes to family, consider the animal that pulled itself from the primordial ooze, then the ooze itself, then the ground containing it, and the bit of star that broke off and hereby germinated in the middle of empty space.And of course, Carl Sagan which I do follow:
“The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff.”

It's funny how it all collapsed into a single thought.
