Was David Thoreau wrong? Not desperation but resignation

Resignation and desperation are the dominant moods in the world nowadays.

It’s late fall. The trees have shed their leaves in the Northeast where I live, the heat has been on for weeks now, and already we get up in dark, and end work in dark.

Ugly is rising. Retain your good in this new environment?

If you give it enough time, the ugly, the ugly in people will feel safe and it will come out to show itself.

I spent some time this morning looking at the British royals and their soul correction.

7 reasons people don’t succeed in life… but you can

Quora is addictive. So why do I open the email from Quora every morning?

Every time I open Quora’s email, I find something I am glad I found.

Something useful. Something that takes me out of my ‘groove’…

Groove is a shallower ditch that a real ditch, but a ditch nevertheless. The more you don’t go outside of it, the deeper it becomes.

Once you allow something to be WRONG, you have some choices
