Anything that happens to you… whether you think it’s good… or bad… or terrible… just wait. Think about something you love that is in your life… is it possible, that if something you perceived as bad at the time had not happened, that you may not have that thing you love in your life right now? Whether something that happens is…
There’s a few songs that you when you listen to, it’s impossible to not feel good. Physically, physiologically, emotionally, psychologically, economically, and all the other -ally’s. Kokomo is one. No Woman No Cry (well, mainly the last part) as well. Soja’s Everything Changes also. Oh and actually, Kate Nash’s Birds (and basically any reggae song ever in history ever). And also this:
Imagine… Imagine that a week from now, an asteroid was going to smash into earth, causing devastating earthquakes and tsunamis to begin with, and then a destabilising of the atmosphere and subsequent disease, famine and chaos after that… What would you do with the last week? Who would you go and see? Who would you spend it with? Who would…
Christopher mcCandless had it all. Young, bright, a college graduate. A promising future. A secure family life. All before him, just as he was about to start his career. So, ‘all’ in one sense of the word. But all that ‘all’ didn’t interest him at all. He got rid of all that, and all his possessions –apart from the ‘necessary comforts’– so…
Albert Camus’ Meursault found meaning to his own life. So did Sisyphus. And so did Izzy in the Last Kiss. And there may be no one single meaning of life that fits all. Not one single purpose for what we are doing on this planet alive. But just like Sisyphus, who is sentenced to push a rock up a mountain over…
This is a diamond of a video by Tim Urban from Wait But Why, who travelled to Iraq, Nigeria, Russia, Japan and Greenland and asked people there: If you had a magical genie (or a magical man, or ‘fairy’), who said you could have three wishes (and have) anything you want in the whole world and it’s true, what would your…
This is a deep dive into the one word that may be more confused or have a greater subjective meaning than any other in the English language: Love. So what does it really mean? —– Every relationship (and friendship) must end. Which is why is it absurd that we must go into every relationship hoping it will last forever. But this is…
‘It was better to burn than to disappear.’ – Meursault (from Camus’ The Outsider) Think back to before you were born… What do you remember? What was important to you?.. Probably not much right? Well, it’s likely that that’s what you’ll think and how you’ll feel about every single thing after you die too. Though you could look back in history…
This is a deep dive into the one word that may be more confused or have a greater subjective meaning than any other in the English language: Love. So what does it really mean? —— ‘Take it that you are not going anywhere but here, and that there never was, is, or will be any other time than now.’ – From Tao: The…
This is a deep dive into the one word that may be more confused or have a greater subjective meaning than any other in the English language: Love. What does it really mean? —— When we (or you) tell someone ‘I love you’ what does it actually mean? Is it any of these: • ‘I need you’ • ‘I can’t live without…
