Beauty Not Indulgence

#020 - Is it possible to have humility, healing and stability while still attaining money, respect and power?

#019 - Beauty is often associated with indulgence, and the virtues of frugality and efficiency are often associated with ugliness. If we reflect further, however, beauty, frugality and efficiency look like complimentary qualities with indulgence as an afterthought.

#018 - A replicable framework for effectively taking advantage of the opportunity of agency in our lives and being as strong as we can be could be defined as follows: acknowledge our powerlessness > have gratitude for our agency > make use of it right now > realize we aren't the x-factor in whatever success ensues > go back to the beginning.

#017 - Is angst a forgone conclusion for many living in the served world? How can angst be dealt with and motivation become more systematically experienced?

#016 - What is the balance between romanticism and cynicism towards dreams?

#015 - How can we tune out the noise and know where to begin dismantling white supremacy? Like unraveling the knots of many issues, taking a look at beginnings and isolating variables is always a good place to start.

#014 - Do we wait around for "big" moments in our lives to give us feeling? Do we use them as drugs and an escape from our meaningless and unfulfilling lives? We do we sustainably and healthily feel in all our moments, big and small? Are some moments big and others small? Or are they all equally moments?

#013 - The start of anything meaningful is bitter. The ability to extract benefit starts with bitterness. Feeling and its subsequent benefits aren't been possible without bitterness, and there's an interesting, scientific metaphor that supports the idea.

#012 - A life well-lived is marked by meaning and fulfillment - prerequisites that come with a prerequisite of their own: feeling. Without it one can't experience meaning, fulfillment or a robust life. The problem is we can't pick and choose what we feel; we either accept feeling, and all its pain, or we reject it altogether - throwing the sweet out to avoid the bitter.

011 - We know bailouts serve the rich and corporate. Why does it seem we're more perturbed by assistance being extended to those more comparable to us humanly and socio-economically, though?
