“Knowing and doing are two different things, …”
“… especially when it comes to pleasure.” An ‘o so true’ statement by Levitt and Dubner in Superfreakonomics.
It got me thinking…
Knowing and doing are two different things, especially when it comes to [a] pleasure:
Have you ever known the pleasure of pride or ignorance, or of ‘happiness’ or an addiction, etc, to prevent some one (I, for instance) from seeing/following the ‘truth?’ Likely yes, at least on television.
Knowing and doing are two different things, especially when it comes to [a] pain:
Have you ever known the pain of future responsibility or success, or of failure or ridicule, or of losing a pleasure or a happiness, etc, to prevent some one (I, for imstance) from doing the ‘truth?’
Knowing and doing are two different things, especially when ….
[Complete the statement for you, then move—on/off—as you please.]
And you might find that knowing and doing are two different things, especially when it’s not inconvenient for them to be so.
So, if I want change, it would be helpful to make it inconvenient for knowing and doing to be different.
3 Kinds of Reminiscence
Reminiscence with gratitude
Reminiscence with regret
Reminiscence with longing
Notice which one you might be doing.
Reminiscence with gratitude is great, health to your soul.
Reminiscence with regret is bitterly painful, and it might hurt your health.
Reminiscence with longing could leave you suspended without foundations, especially if it’s a longing that can’t be met; that’s not good. And if you choose to walk on the ground seeking reexperience, you chose to hold on.
Notice which one you might be doing.
Two reasons for propagated pain
1.) The whole has feelings for the part. E.g. a bruised arm or ego.
2.) The whole critically depends on the part. E.g. if your income gets hurt, it hurts your living.
Between Pressure and Pain
Between pressure and pain
is a connectrix
that doesn’t exist
One blends into the other
Nay, one is the other
For pain places pressure
and pressure is a pain
Between pressure and pain
is a basin
into which they flow
It holds neither only pressure
and neither only pain
Never mixing though
but together both present
The Origin of Pressure
Behind that pressure
is the pain that hurts
and churns
by its smolders and stirs
It tempts, teases
pushes even you
to run for cover
to spoil for a fight
from the pain behind it
Is there pressure?
Yes?
And pain underneath?
Oh, I see …
Thank You – September 2015
Should we still be grateful
In the aftermath of evil
What is there to cheer about
When it’s like you’ve been pierced in the heart
We can’t be happy it happened
Unless maybe an evil lurks inside
There’s still someone left, to pick up the pieces
Perhaps pieces from which another life might emerge
Something valuable that could have been lost but wasn’t
And best, there’s the hope that things will get better
That yesterday is the past we’ve let go
And today is the future we hold for tomorrow
Certainly, I am grateful
For grace, for mercy, for hope
For love and the will to grow
Some say it is family that come to comfort
Thank You for family
Thank you, family
It’s nine months
And the baby is about to be delivered
I am grateful for the safe delivery
Call it a new beginning
Thank You for fresh starts
