A quotation from La Bruyere, Jean de:

«««««
A well-born man is fortunate, but so is the man about whom people no longer ask, is he well-born?
[S’il est heureux d’avoir de la naissance, il ne l’est pas moins d’être tel qu’on ne s’informe plus si vous en avez.]
»»»»»

A quotation from Lowell, James Russell:

«««««
Be noble! And the nobleness that lies
In other men, sleeping, but never dead,
Will rise in majesty to meet thine own.

The "return to the office" won’t save the office

There are ways the class could make returning to the more attractive, of course—say by going back to the concept of an office, where everyone who works there has a room assigned only to them, with at least a desk, a chair, and a door they can close when they really need to concentrate. But that might give the ideas above their station, so don’t hold your breath.

Really this may the one good thing to come out of . The traditional office structure was already pretty rickety before the : the was in place for half or more of “office” work to be done at home. I’ve been doing exactly that for coming up on four years now (!) and although I do sometimes miss the camaraderie of the , for the most part I’m quite happy with the situation. I won’t be at all sorry if the nineteenth crow turns out to be the coup de grace.

The new is going to have to adapt, and just like the old nobility, they don’t handle that well. It’s not about , and it never has been. It’s about , and one way to make your power over your fellow human beings explicit is forcing them to be somewhere they don’t want to be for most of their adult lives. and are quite reluctant to give that up. Things are going to be messy for a while.

One set of objections Seneca responds to in On Anger is that being prone to anger involves a sort of nobility (generositas) or straightforwardness (simplicitas). Here's a core concept video about that

Is this irony, or dismissiveness, with all the reports of William and his extreme anger issues? Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis Are Banned from shouting at home.

Good morning all, it's time for another glimpse at some content found in my new game master's campaign sourcebook 'Seer's Compendium to Mailoruus."

Today I thought I'd share a portion of the nobility within Mailoruus. The following is only two of the ten noble houses within the continent.

For this content and more, check out the full book over on DriveThruRPG.com

One night, a woman of the von Haugwitz line was startled to discover a dwarf woman in her bedchamber.

The latter gifted her a pearl necklace, and told her that as long as the necklace was in the family's possession, the lineage would prosper. But if it was ever lost, the family would be doomed.

Not only Maria Theresia and her daughter shared the same birthday. Her husband Franz Stephan was born on this day 8.12. in 1708 and their son Maximilian Franz was born also on this day but in 1756.
