Post-truth 1.

Yesterday has been quite debilitating.  I was not really functioning. The pain in my heart was too strong to possibly do anything fruitful.
Death has not yet strike in my life, yet the thoughts that my father might not recognise me next time I see him. It is a bit too much to take.

Live in the present. I repeat myself. Be pragmatic.

Pragmatic, adjective: dealing with things sensibly and realistically in a way that is based on practical rather than theoretical considerations.

My thoughts are theories on what may happen next and all that I missed to do in the past to may be change the now.

They are theoretical suppositions and yet they hurt so much.

4 in 1 dream

You dream that you are in bed with four people.  On your left, a black fashionista with a smile from a toothpaste advert.  On my right, a chubby and shy woman smiling at you.  On her right, a business/lawyer man wearing a suite. You are sharing jokes with the fashionista and tell her how much you would like to get to know the business/lawyer person. She jokes that she would like to know a bit more the chubby shy one to see if she can rub on her. What is your inconscious mind trying to tell you?

Progress Trap

A  progress trap  is the condition human societies experience when, in pursuing  progress  through human ingenuity, they inadvertently introduce problems they do not have the resources or political will to solve, for fear of short-term losses in status, stability or quality of life.

Yet, it is so easy to escalate commitment in telling ourselves and others stories which will enhance our status, stability and quality of life. The chase is on against time and oddities. We escape from the unsettling truth that the long term is doomed. Until we burn out - Exhausted from rat race, the running, the short-term goals. Breathe, Slow Down,  Have a nice weekend. And get back in the trap next week.

Forearm yourself with the Politics of Time and Repair the broken work-centred economy - after reading ''the Refusal of Work'' by David Frayne.

This weekend, I read the Refusal of Work by David Frayne. In the book, he defines work and exposes critical accounts of different authors on how work is valued and regarded as a morally good behaviour to engage in so that the individual can be financially independent to buy more stuff at the detriments of its own health and wellbeing and the integrity of the natural environment. He, then, shares the experiences of a number of individuals who refused to work the typical 40 hours a week in favour of working either fewer hours or not at all. The Whys, the Hows and the ongoing tension the participants of the research experience between what is currently seen as an ideal behaviour and their own provide the reader with a mirror to reflect upon their own working or non-working situation. The work of André Gorz on The Politics of Time punctuates the writing in a beautiful manner and I am thankful to have been introduced to his thoughts. Finally, He invites us to get ready to o...
