There’s comfort and safety within tradition, but just like it’s better for parents and children to evolve beyond a parasitic relationship (even though it’s initially necessary), it’s better for people to evolve beyond mindless obedience to a given tradition, and apply the deeper principles behind whatever they were venerating. Musings, Volume 1, available on Amazon…

The rules–the ones that endure–are often in place for a good reason. Know that reason inside and out, and you’ll understand if the rules it generates apply to a problem, or if they’re holding you back. It’s awareness–not some misguided sense of rebellion–that allows someone to break the rules, and to spread harmony and well-being…

If you never take a risk because you’re afraid of screwing up, you’ll never be a hero. If you think you’re a hero, you’re probably a screwup. If you do the best you can with what you have, the words “hero” and “screwup” become completely irrelevant. Musings, Volume 1, available on Amazon Kindle: Musings, Volume 1…

One way to stop taking myself so damn seriously is to contemplate how transient I am. I may not even exist, or I may be in a simulation. Which allows me to focus on what I truly want to do–free of dogma, hangups, societal pressures–and give it my all. Because I’ll be gone and forgotten…

We rough, unrefined rocks have been tossed into the fire of life. Those who cling to outdated ideals, who don’t honor the evidence they’re shown, who cling to comfort and simplicity when called upon to rise, will slowly and predictably be burned with suffering , then melted down into meaningless slag. But those of who…
