Experience is itself a species of knowledge that involves understanding – Immanuel Kant Though doing everything without conscious thought may be a simple life (and maybe even a Good life), does it lead to understanding why a simple is good?* Anyway, I think it does, for it’s constant consciousness that makes us aware of what we want in life, what…
Do other mammals, reptiles, blades of couch grass exhibit consciousness? And do they even have any? Or are all their decisions (?) and actions unconsciously performed? All for the good of their own species, own family, own 1×1 metre square of fellow couch grass blades? Sure, an examined life does help you to see what really matters and put things in…
Do Nothing, which is of no use. – Miyamoto Musashi Scrolling through your Instagram news feed for 35 minutes ‘just because, you know’, or just opening Snapchat for a couple minutes because ‘you know, why not’ or saying I’m bored and scrolling through your Instagram feed for 28 more minutes is a waste of time, and therefore a waste of life. There is nothing…
In a lot of ways, Snufkin is my hero. Because of this, this and also this. And there’s similarities between Snufkin and another raggedy-clothed fellow who roamed around doing his own thing, without worrying about the distractions, opinions or desires of the outside world –Socrates.

Life’s just a series of ‘Now’s. A bunch of consecutive moments where the only place you are actually present is the current one right now. Yet so many of us spend 0.00000 of our time living in it. There’s this ‘Now’ and then there’s this ‘Now’ (also don’t forget this one. Or this one. Now this one. Or this one.…
If you ever think ‘I’m too old’, ‘It’s too late to start’ or ‘I’m not good at anything’: The Only time it’s too late is when you’re dead Homeboy Colonel Sanders was 65 and suicidal when he worked out what he could do better than anyone. And you and every single person you’ve ever met and that lives on this…
The present simple grammar form is actually crucial here. You and I are constantly changing so what you did yesterday or even an hour ago (and most importantly, why) can be different now. Same thing goes for the future. You don’t know why you’re going to do what you do in the future. Now that’s not to say you need…
If you live a regularly long life, say, to 75, and you sleep a regular amount, you’re going to be asleep for 25 years of your life. One godddamn third of it. So you’re basically living until you’re 50 (if you’re lucky). I know a lot of people who love to sleep, and even list it as the thing they…
And it’s much more valid coming from Ben Lee than, for example, these people: – Khloe Kardashian, Kim Kardashian, or the other one – Lance Armstrong – Miley Cyrus – Billy Ray Cyrus – That uncle of yours who’s totally lost the plot and hasn’t got a clue – That guy who yelled at you in traffic that time, because ‘Learn…
