  3. A quotation from Bertrand Russell

       Almost everybody is deeply affected when some one he loves suffers from cancer. Most people are moved when they see the sufferings of unknown patients in hospitals. Yet when they read that the death-rate from cancer is such-and-such, they are as a rule only moved to momentary personal fear lest they or some one dear to them should acquire the disease. The same is true of war: people think it dreadful when their son or brother is mutilated, but they do not think it a million times as dreadful that a million people should be mutilated. A man who is full of kindliness in all personal dealings may derive his income from incitement to war or from the torture of children in “backward” countries.
       All these familiar phenomena are due to the fact that sympathy is not stirred, in most people, by a merely abstract stimulus. A large proportion of the evils in the modern world would cease if this could be remedied.

    Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
    Education and the Good Life, Part 1, ch. 2 “The Aims of Education” (1926)

  8. Having gone to a 10 day #Vipassana retreat, I recognize that the #technique gives me the #sensitivity and the tools to work on my #adhd.

    1. I am aware of #anxiety popping up where I would not have noticed it, before.
    2. I can observe my #focus getting twitchy because of my anxiety, trying to find #peace somewhere.
    3. I can prevent it latching onto random thoughts.
    4. I can redirect my focus to #consciousness, #balance and my #body.

    This retrains the #compulsion into a me that I enjoy more ❤️‍🩹

  9. A quotation from Bertrand Russell

       The next stage in the development of a desirable form of sensitiveness is sympathy. There is a purely physical sympathy: a very young child will cry because a brother or sister is crying. This, I suppose, affords the basis for the further developments.
       The two enlargements that are needed are: first, to feel sympathy even when the sufferer is not an object of special affection; secondly, to feel it when the suffering is merely known to be occurring, not sensibly present. The second of these enlargements depends mainly upon intelligence. It may only go so far as sympathy with suffering which is portrayed vividly and touchingly, as in a good novel; it may, on the other hand, go so far as to enable a man to be moved emotionally by statistics. This capacity for abstract sympathy is as rare as it is important.

  18. A quotation from Orwell

    One of the effects of safe and civilized life is an immense oversensitiveness which makes all the primary emotions seem somewhat disgusting. Generosity is as painful as meanness, gratitude as hateful as ingratitude.

    Essay (1942-08), “Looking Back on the Spanish War, ch. 3, New Road (1943-06)

  21. A quotation from Eric Hoffer

    If what we profess is not an organic part of our understanding, we are likely to profess it with vehemence and intolerance. Intolerance is the “Do Not Touch” sign on something that cannot bear touching. We do not mind having our hair ruffled, but we will not tolerate any familiarity with the toupee which covers our baldness.

    Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
    Passionate State of Mind, Aphorism 62 (1955)

    Street Artist Alba Fabre Sacristán By Alba Fabre Sacristán at Avenida da Milagrosa, 23 in Carballo, Spain for Rexenera Fest. Photos by Bastian Rodríguez. Rexenera Fest: Alba Fabre tends to construct poetic narratives from an open and inconclusive point of view. His work, located on Avenida da Milagrosa, introduces us to the intimacy of an anonymous couple, in a moment of union in which different ideas are whispered in a veiled way, deconstructing certain roles of classical art and […]

  24. "With Gentle Affect - Surviving Trauma"

    Written with gentle affect and love for all:
    Words can be a powerful thing. Sometimes we may say something unintentionally that can open the wounds of another. The range of emotion conjured, may sometimes be manifest in response. Sometimes it's an acquired instinct.

    In a world that has become so full of hate, there are many that have survived great trauma. Words that may seem innocent, can be like thrusting the sharpest of double-edged swords, slashing open the heart's healing scars. Sometimes, if one pokes the hive, the bee is likely to sting out of instinctual self-preservation. It's important to be mindful of others we encounter. Only they may know know the shadows that haunt within them.

    Being an advocate is not an easy task. You're basically telling people what they may do is not right but, without advocacy, where does #change lie? Taking the brunt and standing firm for others that may not have the strength? If one day it may help to prevent others with invisible disabilities from being subjected, how can I remain silent.

    With that said, the last time I checked, I'm human too. I have a brain, a heart and everything. I also don't harbor bitterness or resentment... It messes up the atmosphere inside.[]

    "If one breaks one's leg, they may have trouble walking, patience and understanding is key. The same is true for the brain": @OutOfExile_IDR

    Today's installment was going to be about the brain and spelling. There's link to an interesting article below. I always welcome kind correction and thoughtful constructive feedback.
