I like complaining. It feels good. The trick is to know when it stops feeling good, and simply becomes a force of habit. That’s when it’s time to do something else.

Curiously enough, it seems that misery can persist under the “best” conditions, and that happiness can exist under the “worst.” I suspect this is the abiding truth under all philosophies and all religions: some unknowable benevolence has designed consciousness so it can attain peace under any set of circumstances—not because of them, but regardless of…

One of the greatest uses of creativity is seeing the good in unpleasant events. Opportunity, understanding, and strategy arise. Or I can react vindictively to adversity, cursing the world as an unfair construct. But then my creativity will find a way to make it true. Get Echo Vol. 1 on Kindle here: Vol. 1 on Kindle. Vol. 2…

All phenomena is information. Especially the negative stuff.

This seems to make for better health and better…

Respect is a fickle thing. Even when most of society approves of my actions, there will always be someone who holds me in contempt. Conversely, self-respect is of infinite value. If I maintain my standards and keep my promises to myself, I can sleep soundly and enjoy the moment. Ironically, when I find myself in…

I believe in a natural benevolence underlying reality. You can find evidence for or against it, depending on where you look, but I believe the strongest case for it arises when I give up and focus on something completely unimportant or—better yet—nothing at all. In those moments of Void, something great and kind rises through…
