Paradise
We all live in paradise, despite what we do with it.
Expect Them
Expect mistakes.
No matter how careful a person you are, mistakes will inevitably happen. Humans are just mistake prone. There’s no way around it. So, if you believe this — and I do — it is best to expect making mistakes.
If nothing else, if you expect to make mistakes, it may make you a bit more careful, so that you end up minimizing mistakes.
But they will always keep happening. Trust me.
Embrace It
Embrace challenges. Don’t run away from them. Amor fati. Best way to live. But it requires CHARACTER.
Discipline Muscle
Things you want to do get in the way of things you must do but don’t want to do. To strengthen your discipline muscle, you must be aware of this and resist it. The current express, “just do it,” comes to mind.
Best Way
Best way to live: stay in the moment. Stay in the moment, even if trivial. Stay in the moment. Don’t be in the future. Don’t be in the future when it is done. But stay in the current moment. The tendency is to want it, whatever it is, to be finished and over with. That’s a mistake. Just stay in the moment always. Hard to do, but very worthwhile.
Last Laugh
Maggots have the last laugh.
How To Die
Die laughing.
Tribalism
Humanity has never really gotten above simple tribalism. What is nationalism — to which we are all addicted — but a modern version of ancient tribalism?
We all seek the protection of belonging to a group, even if this is pure fantasy. [providing little or no true protection.
Tribalism is our human heritage. We cannot escape it.
Done?
Never done until done.
