I cannot read Bastiat without thinking of Corinthians. Both taught to count what is not there. Bastiat taught opportunity cost before the term was coined. The unseen should be accounted for in its absence here now. The empty hand, the worn out shoes, the grumbling tummy. Paul's eternal unseen is also here now, but it is anything but empty. It is the fullness in the absence. Grace you can fail to receive, when the day of salvation is right here now.

How do you people have time for gaming? I imagine I have less responsibility than most of you, and somehow less time. Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking to join in. I'd rather read a book. I'm just envious of your ability to create time in the day. I guess I'm just slow.

I am not terribly social, so had largely ignored people's reply tabs. Recently I went to pull something up and noticed that some people's best work lived in their replies. More so than their curated timeline, what a person attends to is what they actually believe. That is much harder to fake. To find out where someone lives on Nostr, look at their replies. My struggle on Nostr has been keeping the follow list manageable, but if you are looking for inspiration, it's also a great way to find new people to follow.

I'd love to edit some of my posts and replies. The little typos, the confused clauses. But on Nostr there's little point in trying. I guess the imperfections are proof they were "crafted by the honest, simple, hard-working indigenous aboriginal people of... wherever." My proof of work. Proof I'm a Nostr native, and not a machine pretending to be. Perhaps I'll learn to relax a little and let my sentences run on one day too.
