“ And the Waltz Goes On ” by Anthony Hopkins interpreted by Andre Rieu and the Johann Strauss Orchestra
As days bled into years, the prince and his servants were forgotten by the world, for the enchantress had erased all memory of them from the minds of the people they loved. But the rose she had offered was truly an enchanted rose. If he could learn to love another and earn their love in return by the time the last petal fall, the spell would be broken. If not, he would be doomed to remain a beast for all time. As the years passed, he fell into despair and lost all hope. For who could ever learn to love a beast?
Listen, you are responsible for your own Internet experience. Someone posts stuff that triggers you? Blacklist, unfollow, block. Simple as that. If you are online on your own, you are responsible for your own experience. It doesn’t matter if you’re a teen or an adult. If you can’t take care of your own safety online, then don’t go online on your own. You can’t expect strangers online to bend and censor themselves at your request.
You can’t blame a driver of attempted murder if you cross the road with the traffic light on red.
Learning does not make one learned: there are those who have knowledge and those who have understanding. The first requires memory and the second philosophy.
The Count of Monte Cristo, Alexandre Dumas (born on this day in 1802)
