DO WE LOVE WHAT WE HATE? ...

   There are times in our lives when we focus so much on what we hate that we form a strange psychological attachment to it. So it's a fair question to ask if we love what we hate. That attachment can bring about a heightened emotional state, apparently as intense as love. In short, a stimulation that we enjoy. Keith concludes that this is probably true, citing personal experience. He is aware that the object (he doesn't give away the exact details), which is the focus of his attention, borders on becoming obsessive at times. He states that he doesn't like what that object is, but somehow it attracts him. We know about the Stockholm Syndrome, where a captive, in time, forms strong feelings for their captor - or even their abuser. It doesn't seem logical, but it does happen. Therefore, loving what we hate certainly can happen as well. And as is often the case, what you are focusing on and how much time you give to that is key.

IS LOSING YOUR DOGMAS A GOOD THING?  

Dogmas, like stereotypes, are generally considered to be something that should not be so tightly held that they limit progressive thinking and intellectual growth. No doubt there is a truth in that. Dogmas though, could be viewed in the light of saying that there are dogmas - and then there are dogmas. That is to imply that some dogmas have benefits while others do not. Or to say that there are big dogmas and there are little ones. Rigidly (and often righteously) saying that you are open-minded, when you are not, is every bit dogmatic as standing unflinching on a religious or political stand. Either way that’s a big one and limiting. Shedding such a position is certainly good. But what about little dogmas? Which incidentally, we all have. Such as your views on money, sex, work, family and relationships etc - to name just a few basics of life. Plus, can dogmas be foundational to growth? And do our dogmas define us even after we have made an effort to move on from them?

IS WANT AND DESIRE THE SAME THING? ….       

         Some people see desiring something as a restriction on living and seek to free themselves from desiring in order to obtain a much clearer, if not purer way of living. But what about wanting? Is that the same? If desiring something can be a serious hindrance to being free, is wanting things just as limiting? And if they are the same in this respect, is that bad or just a natural condition of being human? Can there be a balance? There are other questions too. Does it imply that by striving to be free from desire and want mean being anti life by rejecting all that the world has to offer?

ARE YOU A PRODUCER OR A CONSUMER? ...

   Modern life challenges us all. It's fast-moving and often changng but at its core it's a consumer society with a relentless push to have things, things and more things. In that context, asking the question are you a consumer or a producer relates easily to our materialist world. But the question asks more of us than that. It's also a question of how we approach life in general. Do we give or do we take? Giving in any way is producing just as much as making something. Taking and wanting to continually get is consuming. However, we all do both, don't we? It's the balance of the mix that's important. To what extent so often determines our quality of life, our mental health and the type of person we are and are known as.

DO WE LISTEN ANYMORE? ...

   Keith and Lee are finally back after their Down Under long summer break. Lee has added more magic gadgets to the studio, and the boys are rearing to punch out their first DONT GET ME STARTED podcast for 2026. Their topic about listening seems as relevant today as it's ever been. With so much information coming at us from multiple sources, it's almost as if we are drowning in noise. But of course, listening has primacy importance in conversation, communicating and truly being able to hear what others are saying. And in that context, it's an act of the will to hold back what you may feel triggered to say when it's either rude to butt in - or to talk over the top of others. How do we gain from listening, what does it mean to others when we listen to them, is listening an act of respect, is it empathetic and is it a skill we need to cultivate and practice? These are just some of the questions Keith and Lee raise and discuss. The boys have exciting plans for the year and are thrilled to be back podcasting with all their worldwide listeners. They can't think of a better way to start 2026.
