  1. CLIMBING DOWN

    #Hirayama, in #Perfect Days, is not a failed climber.

    He is someone who saw the #ladder clearly and stopped obeying it.

    That is a very different thing.

    The world keeps whispering: more #status, more #usefulness, more #achievement, more #improvement, more #proof that the self is becoming something.

    No one has to #whip us anymore. We do it internally and call it ambition.

    Hirayama’s freedom is not that he cleans #toilets. That could easily be another prison.

    His freedom is that he is not using his life to become impressive.

    Water does not need to win.

    The useless #tree does not need to justify its #existence.

    And “I need do nothing” does not mean sitting around uselessly. It means I do not need to #manufacture a self.

    The #body can #clean, #breathe, #walk, make #coffee, light #fires, put #shoes on, feed #dogs, and #love the ones nearby.

    But there does not have to be a grand inner project of becoming #Worthy

    Simple living is not automatically #holy.

    Low status is not #awakening.

    A small life can still be full of #grievance, vanity and comparison.

    But a life without #comparison ?

    That is #freedom.

    Maybe the real act is not #climbingdown.

    Maybe it is stopping the argument with where I am.

  6. The "State of the Union" address, or as it has come to be known in recent times, the "Airing of Grievances Prior to Taking Grampa's Phone Away, Changing his Diaper, and Putting Him to Bed".

    More seriously, unless they medicate him properly and do something to keep him on-script, Tuesday's performance is likely to be #legendary, and not in a good way.

  7. A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

    Tell yourself, when you feel exasperated and out of all patience, that this mortal life endures but a moment; it will not be long before we shall one and all have been laid to rest.
     
    [ὅταν λίαν ἀγανακτῇς ἢ καὶ δυσπαθῇς, ἀκαριαῖος ὁ ἀνθρώπειος βίος καὶ μετ᾿ ὀλίγον πάντες ἐξετάθημεν.]

    Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
    Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 11, ch. 18 (11.18) (AD 161-180) [tr. Staniforth (1964)]
