Observational research from a friend’s funeral this week The impact you have on another individual’s life is greater than you think Act accordingly

In the age of speed, I began to think, nothing could be more invigorating than going slow. In an age of distraction, nothing can feel more luxurious than paying attention. And in an age of constant movement, nothing is more urgent than sitting still. -Pico Iyer

Existing independent of the state is deemed a ‘crime’. How do you do my fellow ‘criminals’? Happy Saturday

The greatest returns I have received in life are a direct result of helping others

I love the smell of books. It’s an olfactory overload that facilitates feelings of transcendence. Books are more than a compilation of words, sentences, paragraphs. They are a vehicle to another world

At a certain level of ‘success’, individuals ‘collect’ other individuals. Success in the traditional world is measured by how many individuals are subservient to you. Tell them to fuck right off. How can another individual have a higher claim on your life than you? Choose freedom and opt out. Control is an illusion. The choice is yours… Free the Mind GN

“If you worship money and things — if they are where you tap real meaning in life — then you will never have enough. Never feel you have enough. It’s the truth. Worship your own body and beauty and sexual allure and you will always feel ugly, and when time and age start showing, you will die a million deaths before they finally plant you. On one level, we all know this stuff already — it’s been codified as myths, proverbs, clichés, bromides, epigrams, parables: the skeleton of every great story. The trick is keeping the truth up-front in daily consciousness. Worship power — you will feel weak and afraid, and you will need ever more power over others to keep the fear at bay. Worship your intellect, being seen as smart — you will end up feeling stupid, a fraud, always on the verge of being found out. And so on.” -David Foster Wallace Time to read this for a 3rd time.

I’ve been hungry and full. I’ve had shelter and been without. Ive been addicted and sober. Ive had many connections yet been alone. Accept me as I am . I contain multitudes and so do you

The people that are wealthy have the things that ‘money’ can’t buy

Having ‘more’ makes you more of what you already are
