FIGS — Fruits of my mind …
2 min readSep 11, 2021
I am interested in Stoicism, and I like to think about things, and share my thoughts with others. These are some of my thoughts that have come to me today, when thinking about figs, then other things
- When the time is right, there will be plenty for all that want it
- In lean times, those who can pay, can have what they want
- In those lean times though, wise ones accept the change
- Learning the truth of the seasons will lead to greater wisdom
- Most things are better, when they are in their best season
- Figs tell ultimate truths — Listen to the fig tree, and know …
- Fresh fruit, dried fruit, one luscious, one sweet, both good
- When the season says not yet, learn to wait, & be rewarded
- Rewards come in many forms, but aren’t always obvious
- Knowledge rewards deep thought, eludes ignorant grasping
- Ideas thought on before action occurs, beat unconsidered ones
- Knowing and doing, two different things, only one bears fruit …
- One day, things will be grand? Not just one, every day is grand!
- Figs give good when eaten, thought of previous seasons feed on-one
