You Don’t Own a Dog

  Some love doesn’t ask. It doesn’t wait. It sits beside you and breathes. The language we use We talk about dogs like property. My dog. Our dog. As if a living being could belong to us. But anyone who has actually lived with a dog knows that word never quite fits. What happens there feels closer to a meeting than an arrangement. A bond that doesn’t explain itself. It just shows up every day and stays. Presence without strategy Humans are careful with love. We negotiate it. We protect it. We keep score. Dogs don’t do that. They don’t calculate whether affection will be returned. They don’t check if today is safe to be open. They don’t hold back in case tomorrow hurts. They are simply there. And that’s unsettling, because it exposes how rarely we are. I don’t expect anyone to pay to read. But if you’d like to support it, gift me a book.                                     ...

The real poverty

  There’s too much unhappiness in the world. Not just the kind that lives in the streets, but the kind that lives in the soul. We think we’re important.

Hate burns everything — including you. Life only moves forward. Nature made sure of that. Eyes in the front. No eyes in the back. What’s behind is lesson, not prison. Some debts aren’t meant to be collected. You just carry the wisdom and keep walking. Being born was already a mirac...

The Chaos Hedge: Sleeping Well When the World Shakes

Cataklaus Oct 16, 2025 The calmest minds prepare for storms. They don’t predict, they protect. Because peace of mind isn’t free, it’s built on knowing you’ll be fine when the ground shifts. The Quiet Risk We Don’t Like to Name Most people plan their financial lives assuming the world will stay mostly stable. Inflation stays “under control.” Markets recover. Retirement projections work out neatly. But that assumption is fragile. If inflation sticks around or spikes, those tidy plans unravel fast. Even modest inflation erodes real returns. If it turns severe, the damage compounds. What looked safe suddenly looks small. That’s the uncomfortable truth behind the charts. Where Does the Money Go During Chaos? If inflation roars, capital flees paper. It looks for safety in real things—scarce, tangible, or finite. History points to gold as the anchor. It’s been humanity’s fallback in every storm. No government, no printing press, no default risk. And now, a digital contender exists: Bitcoin. ...
