“Check your watch. It’s now again!” - Jon Kabat-Zinn
----------------------------------------
Consciously and subconsciously, to our own benefit and to our own detriment, loudly and brashly, quietly and desperately, we put on personas for the world to see.
----------------------------------------
Someone once told me that if you can get through life you can get through anything.
--------------------------------------

And I'm wondering if this is not an oxymoron.

When someone says to you, "I'm crazy," in those words, it can give you pause. Should it? I guess, it kind of depends, but basically - yes.
------------------------------
When someone shows you who they are believe them.

"Wouldn't it be nice if we weren't at war anywhere in the world anymore?" - Random person at convention.

I wonder about the ways that "social media has changed our lives. There are upsides. But lately, the downsides seem so glaring.

And now for some free writing, so inaccurately called - nothing is free. We pay in so many ways for so many things, like "free lunches." There is wisdom in that free lunch saying, like is is in so many a cliched aphorism. I just used a word and then worried that it didn't fit just right.
I like comedy because it is about honesty. I think most comedians have a thing about truth. And INFPs do too. Truth and idealism.
I get tired of saying it, and also I don't: I don't know what to write or where to write it. Should I share about the longing and the loneliness that I feel at this moment. I think therefore I am, and yet - I think not.
It's Friday while I write this part, though the pieces of this post were written over a long stretch. I'm going to visit my father for Shabbos. It's a meaningful and good and right thing to do. And yet I wonder, in this case and in general, where I should be.
I think a lot about memory or what's called memory.
I think of inside thoughts, of writing and of poetry. And when people ask me what I'm doing it is hard to tell them about how I live inside.

Make sure that the fortune that you seek is the fortune that you need. - Ben Harper
