Hi 👋 batrud The lorem ipsum gets its name from the Latin phrase Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet. which translates to “Nor is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain
The Latin phrase 'lorem ipsum dolor sit amer' means there is no one who loves pain, who seeks after it, wants to have it simply because it is pain.

I think it means that love is unconditionally and everyone who loves want to be closed towards its love but when we dont get our love we automaticcally get ourselves into pain ,the pain which we dont wanted..
Good question. With some experience in Web Development I sometimes use this. The phrase has no meaning and is actually filler words for placement somewhere on a design or a website.
It's a filler text used in documents as a visual representation. Lorem ipsum is derived from the Latin ''dolorem ipsum'' which roughly translates to ''pain itself.''

Hi batrud The phrase appears in Microsoft Word online Help. It has the appearance of an intelligent Latin idiom. Actually, it is nonsense ;)
Hi Batrud. I am not an expert in Latin, so I cannot explain its meaning. However, this phrase is used as a placeholder (temporary) text within the printing and typesetting industry - this is just to demonstrate the visual form of a document before the final copy (text) is decided upon.
The phrase derives from Latin. It`s a placeholder text used in publishing and graphic design.
It's very important to be a pain

I met this phrase in the book and I was wondering about the meaning of "as above, so below." Here is the context where I met this phrase: In the meticulously designed garden, the arrangement of the flowers and paths reflected the harmony of the stars above, truly embodying the principle "as above, so below."
Best answer
It simply compares the harmony of the flowers to that of the stars... meaning same harmonous path the stars portray above (in the sky), it's same with the flowers below.

- Do you often find yourself splitting hairs over life matters?
Who is familiar with the idioms "splitting hairs" ? Splitting hairs = to discuss, argue, hang out in the trivial details of something. Imagine if you guys decide to split a strand of hair into small pieces... How relevant would that be? Not at all right? So whenever we discuss about trivial, unimportant matters, we are splitting hairs (over something)
Best answer
Your right. A chief Time waster. slitting hairs sucks.
