A quotation from La Rochefoucauld

The world oftener rewards the appearance of merit than merit itself.
 
[Le monde récompense plus souvent les apparences du mérite que le mérite même.]

François VI, duc de La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680) French epigrammatist, memoirist, noble
Réflexions ou sentences et maximes morales [Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims], ¶166 (1665-1678) [tr. Bund/Friswell (1871)]

ORDINARY GRACE 💎

Brunch was good today.

It was cleaning Sunday, so we had hamburgers at Grill’d.

Afterwards, I walked from North Hobart into the city to meet Pete.

Now I am home, fresh from breathwork, feeling grateful and wondering what I could possibly have done to deserve such abundance.

Probably nothing.

Deserving belongs to the world of deals and bargains.

Be good, get rewarded.

Work hard, earn the prize.

But this does not feel like a prize.

It feels like life simply giving itself.

A clean house.

A delicious hamburger.

A long #walk through quiet #Hobart.

Breath moving through my body.

Peter.

Two small white #pups.

A #tranquil afternoon.

Nothing dramatic.

Nothing earned.

Just ordinary #grace.

Perhaps grace is not the great event we are waiting for.

Perhaps it is this.

Life is already here in all its glory, before we decide whether we deserve it or not...

A #leafcutter #bee takes his/her piece of leaf, cut from a rose leaf in the garden, into a hollow log in the #stumpery . It is so rewarding to see the wildlife utilising my garden!

⤴️​ After reading this #NeuroPaper I have to say it is much more interesting than what I thought at first view! And particularly well-written, illustrated and clear!

A must-read for anyone interested in #Dopamine #ReinforcementLearning #Reward #Value #RewardPredictionError #Navigation #Shortcuts #Detours #CognitiveMap (maybe) #Inference with some future hints of #HippocampalReplay !
Congrats to all authors, let me know if any is on here!
