Illness and suffering, our own, as well as that of others, remind us of the miracle of life, the elevation of life through love and empathy, the wonder of nature and the universe, the superficiality of physical death, and the infinite possibilities yet to be discovered.

SOME PEOPLE NEED TO LEAVE THEIR COUNTRY IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO:

WE NEED TO ITERATE, TEST, FAIL FAST, “MOVE FAST AND BREAK THINGS”, WHEN DEALING WITH SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE. THIS SAME PHILOSOPHY DOES NOT APPLY WHEN INVOLVING HUMAN EMOTIONS, HEALTH, LIFE, AND SUFFERING.

WHY IT IS SO CONFUSING IS THAT YOU CAN BELIEVE ALMOST ANYTHING, BEFORMALLY EDUCATED (or not), BE IN ALMOST ANY TYPE OF BUSINESS, AND STILL MAKE A VERY SUCCESSFUL LIFE AND LIVING OUT OF IT ALL.

ONE OF THE GNAWING WORRIES THAT WE MAY EXPERIENCE IS, “AM I LIVING THE BEST LIFE I CAN, OR IS THERE SOMETHING ELSE, DIFFERENT, IF NOT BETTER, FOR ME?”

RULES WHICH ARE INTUITIVE, SHORT, SIMPLE, CONSISTENTLY APPLIED AND UNIFORMLY APPLIED, EVEN IF NOT UNIVERSALLY AGREED UPON, ARE COMFORTING, UNIFYING, JOB SAVING, CAREER SAVING, AND LIFE SAVING.

HOUSES ARE EMPTY BOXES, BLANK CANVASES. WE BIRTHE, GRIEVE, INVITE, PLANT, HANG, DRILL, ATTACH, FILL, AND PAINT OUR LIVES INTO THEM.

IT MAY JUST TURN OUT TO BE THAT ALL OF BIOLOGY AND CHEMISTRY ARE FUNDAMENTALLY QUANTUM PHYSICS AFTER ALL.

SMALL OBSESSIONS WILLEXPAND TO SWALLOW UP YOUR ENERGY AND YOUR LIFE JUST AS IF YOU WERE TO GO BACK TO PAINT OVER THE SAME AREA, AGAIN AND AGAIN, BEFORE YOU COULD MOVE ON TO THE UNPAINTED SECTION.
