It's just another day for me. I was surprised when I looked up Friday the 13th to see the number of people who do have reactions to the date. The only time I think of 13 at all is when I purchase donuts or bagels. Is it a bakers dozen or a dozen for that price?
Dark chocolate is my favorite as well. I agree totally unadulterated chocolate is the only way to go. My husband teases me about a purist. My ice cream unadorned, my coffee black... no sweeteners or creamer for me.
"It would almost be arrogant to assume that out of countless billions of galaxies, each with billions of stars, and an increasing number of confirmed exoplanets, Earth is the only place where life has emerged." I have this argument with my mother constantly
What about someone who has a tendency to be depressed, does not love himself – isn’t he light years away from this spiritual life?
Y: No, because you can also live these moments of crisis intensely, these moments when things are not going the way you want them to. For it is a matter of accepting life the way it is, whatever it looks like right now. Some depressed people are very spiritual. Living ‘intensely’ means not adding to the questions that already arise precisely because you believe you are someone.
So, we should feel things, feel what we are doing now, be fully present to the dishes we are washing right now, present to the emotional shock we have just received, rather than think about it?
Y: It is both doing the dishes and having a head full of thoughts that carry us away elsewhere. It is accepting ourselves truly the way we are, with this little voice in our head, since that is what is happening.
