You move through space for a brief fraction of time. You do many things to change your life, all moving on planet Earth. Earth moves around a star, that moves in a galaxy, that moves in a universe. You get better though. You use the ideas of the past to create a future worthy of … [Read more…]
It’s interesting the chapters in life we play, how they flow one to another, how so many things come together in order to make any one particular moment. The question is, is there a way to live a more creative life, without succumbing to the harsh realities of the current world? I’m not sure that … [Read more…]
It’s funny how we change over time. Acquire new experiences and you interpret things differently. You become better, more nuanced. We start out relatively simple. When I was a kid I remember being afraid of all the complexity of the desktop computer. How on Earth can I know what wire goes where? Long gone are … [Read more…]
The world really is fascinating, no matter humanity’s end. Imagine we wipe ourselves out in the future. Is your life still meaningful? I think a meaningful life comes from combining four fundamentals. The terms may vary but the four aspects of life are the physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual.

That is a lonely, sad path. Bring friendly is more work. You have to learn. It’s also more productive. Believe in success in the long-term. … [Read more…]
Interesting how things will work to block our desires. It’s annoying how a daily grind builds up and overwhelms. I believe everything is understandable. Everything has a reason. When life is beating you down you must learn how to gain strength. You must change your actions. What do you want to do? Or, easier to … [Read more…]
Do you lock yourself in an artificial environment? I think we must step back and realize what is true and human. Modern life is not all that man can be. I don’t think civilization must return to nature. I think we must consider nature. The role of the environment should be to enhance you. One … [Read more…]
(Fortunate ty11.10.30d7s) Why do happiness cycles sometimes seem so short-lived? I ponder my situation, how I feel trapped by my own greed, comfort, laziness. That upsets me even more, as if I don’t have control over even the basic things. I know I do; I’m just afraid, afraid of success, of getting tied down and … [Read more…]
