It would appear that
Nobody ever died
From acute embarrassment.
And yet
Shame is said
To be one of the main causes of suicide.
This is one of the problems
With dwelling on things.

#Idea – Shame vs Embarrassment / 09.03.19
#Idea – Jesus / 08.03.19
Something for Christians to consider:
In the entire account of Jesus’ earthly life
The only thing that really got him angry
Was the financial industry.
I refer, of course, to the ‘cleansing of the temple’.
Consider this
And contrast it to
The popularity of ‘prosperity theology’ today.
Or
How much that modern ‘financialised’ Christian countries
Depend upon commerce and capital.
Assuming that
We didn’t kill or commit him beforehand
What would he make of all this,

In the end:
You’ll be held accountable
For the
Not the meetings you attended.
#Idea – A Little Asceticism Enriches Your Life / 12.02.19
Comfort costs you money
And
Money costs you time
And
Time is all you really have
(…because you trade your time for money).
Therefore
Comfort costs you the only currency of your life – your time.
Put another way, comfort makes you a slave
Because you have to work for it.
Furthermore,
What happens if your comfort is taken from you?
Replace ‘comfort’ with ‘things’ and the logic still holds.
With thanks to the guy from CheapRVLiving for the idea.
#ThoughtExperiment – Every Creative Feat Is an Act of Imitation / 02.03.19
If there is a God
And we take the theological premise
That this God created everything
Then
Perhaps every creative act we undertake
Honours this God.
As someone once said:
“Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery”

Just as you start to understand life,
You lose your grip on it.

#Idea – How to Be a Better Critical Thinker / 04.01.19
Entertain a healthy amount of scepticism
Towards anything
That your mind tells you
Is absolutely true and certain.
Everyone has a fanatic inside of them.

#Idea – An Argument Against Believing Your Own Press / 03.02.18
One of the problems with having a self-concept
Is that it’s another thing to attend to
Another thing to protect from
All the complications of the world.

#Aphorism – Lessons / 01.01.19
Everyone has something to teach you
Unfortunately,
Not all of the lessons are pleasant.

#Idea – Art Is Creative Energy Frozen in Time / 30.11.19
When you look at a piece of art
You’re looking at the ‘crystallisation’ of someone’s creative energy from a moment in time.
Put another way,
What matter is to energy
Art is to creative energy.
