the world bleeds every time you extract oil from the ground but it also bleeds when you try to avoid all bleeding https://t.co/7ryK104rHR
the world is bleeding in lost potential every time the child prodigy refuses their potential it is also bleeding when the child’s heart and a life is lost; when each action is another papercut we must accept that bleeding will happen either way
we must grieve, for the situation is already lost https://t.co/TFDng0yhQL
then we may begin to work toward a future where the heart is cultivated, and it coincides with contributing to the world with our talents but remember that no matter what, it will never be 100%, the world will always still be bleeding, the grieving must always be happening
the world is always bleeding situations are already lost this is what can give us peace it is emptiness among compassion https://t.co/mpMaTULbPT
"are you saying oil fields must be left Whole and Sacred and their neighbours to starve?" no, son, i am merely saying there will be the starvation either way, and the difference you think you’re making by feeding them is not that great
"are you saying it’s ok then for oil fields to be left Whole and Sacred and not extracted?" no, son. it’s never ok as long as people are starving, son what i’m trying to say, son, is it's never going to be ok it will never be ok "oh"
when you are freed from the possibility of making things ok, you can find the okness of the moment you stop doing to get there you stop putting this infinitesmally thin but Hurtful barrier of doing between you and Okness https://t.co/u6x444MUdC
Master: I have only one thing to say to you. I’m sorry. You cannot change. Overcoming is part your machinery, just as much feeling pain when I stub my toe is part of mine. You will stay like this forever. Student: “But but but—” In that moment, the student was enlightened.
“way too deep to resolve easily” this is the truth. the truth about the world. yet there is such a thing as effectively intervening anyway. i think this is the secret, the secret to contributing to the world. https://t.co/pzkmJI63km https://t.co/06UZ184beH
@sunofdopamine @joespurpleshirt “way to deep to resolve easily” this is the truth. the truth about the world. yet there is such a thing as effectively and appropriately intervening. i think this is the secret, right stance to contributing to the world https://t.co/KgU5qZgSkI

my favourite scene from Catch Me If You Can - I’m going to let you fly tonight, Frank. I’m not even going to stop you. That’s cause I know you’ll be back on Monday. - Yeah. How do you know I’ll come back? - Look. Frank… Nobody’s chasing you.” https://t.co/zx1KJncWIg https://t.co/lNCB5Ol22X

Hot take: ppl who grow up naturally competent or charismatic in the way (current) society likes end up getting “used” by the “system”Weirdos - who the system rejects early on - have a better chance of living on their own terms as adults https://t.co/iaMRWlMFVS
