What does that say about our nature?

Today on the anniversary of Julius Caesar's death, Ides of March. Consider
as they say, human nature being immutable or unchanging over time What then
can be gleaned on this day, 15th of March?

I would answer: If you know you've committed some egregious acts of late
against your friends, politely refuse their request when a dozen or so of them
invite you out to a late-nite party. Accept nothing - not even a pretzel - from
them for say, the rest of your natural life. Oh, and learn to love living a hermit's
existence, or move to a faraway and undisclosed location.

Stop being an appeaser. It's tiresome and more importantly, it's not
a habit for you to personally adopt in life. Take and maintain a stand. Enough
with the grin emoticons Express your thoughts succinctly or not at all...

they say an image is a thousand words, and emojis are "images" people
use to speak with that are often better at "saying" something than words
are often able to do

Image, I agree. But not the convenient symbol of a simple emotion that's
used in place of thought

Buy a diary to write in & your problem is solved

I'd rather see 100 emotes than read word salad every few days

I understand that simplicity for someone such as you gives you comfort. So maybe
rather than exercise any amount of thought, use the ignore feature available,
rather than reading those you don't wish to: https://www.bricklink.com/messageFilter.asp

But hurry, google away to try and catch up with reality and history. I'll
wait a bit.

I don't have to Google jack, holmes. If Shakespeare's tragedy is even
remotely accurate, then Caesar's sin was in forming a plan culminating in
forcing the Senate into declaring him as king of Rome, a title which (again according
to quasi-historical whispers), caused Romans to break out in hives.

Even if I'm utterly wrong - my strengths lie in English grammar and English
literature, not history - why on Earth would you want to come out swinging as
a provocative history snob? Surely there are more civil ways of tooting your
horn?

What the, Shakespeare! Now, slowly lowering yourself back down to Earth

"my strenghts lie in English grammar and English literature, not history"?
Now I understand your ludicrous statements, and your silliness
