Endings

For the season finale I took it to the streets. Instead of just talking to myself in this episode I asked my friends what they thought about endings. Why should I do all the heavy lifting??? Thank you to Nika, Bryan, Jed, Vincent and Andy. You are all more special than you know.

Please enjoy the end of season 1. See you next year.

Contradictions are not what we think. Two things can be truth even if they appear to negate each other because we're asking the wrong questions. When we look at the world through a binary lens (right wrong good bad) we will see contradictions. But they aren't opposites at all. Our POV sometimes distorts what we see.

It's so easy to hold a grudge. When someone hurts us we never want to let them off the hook. But people are not their actions. It might seem counter intuitive but even if a person does a bad thing that might not make them a bad person. And when we find the ability to forgive someone that has wronged us, we also find the ability to forgive ourselves.

Hobbies are important. We need things in our lives that have little or no stakes. We need to enjoy just being. A hobby is just that. Why do we do things that have no value other than enjoyment? Because our value is not our productivity.

Today’s topic is taboo. We’re not supposed to think about it or talk about it. But it’s necessary. We all have dark thoughts and hiding them is never a good thing.

If you’re thinking about ending at all, don’t. There are many versions of living you can explore.
