Romans 8:31, yes @MDT

I liked your thoughts about envy. I'm along the same lines - don't envy the envious - there's enough of it in the world and ultimately, the envious are the ones that live most miserably....

Good to see you @MDT

@MDT

Yep been looking at Gabor Mate and Lex Friedman for 5 ish years ... the others I was not familiar with ... thanks.

I like a mix of accents generally ... not too many American accents ...a bit over actor and rocknroll celebs .. partly cos I was too busy working and not afford pop culture ... not really envious ... I am actually glad now ... in the end I kept with good culture ... I skimmed over the pop stuff ... later in bits when I had time ... but envious ... nup ... love that you like Nietzche ... but M McConnaughy is probably right for you ...

I guess I learned the lessons of no father pretty young. So these days I am resurrecting my dad a bit .. cos he had a hard deal. Paying respects ... understand more ...

Listening now ....

Totally agree with McConnaughy's argument over focussing on too much resilience ... without doing deep feeling.

So I can agree with finding ... a gift in the pain ... but I would not call it a trick.

Hey that actor's dad was into footie too .. like mine! lol

"leniency with oneself ... while still holding oneself to task"

Lex is lovely.

I also like Sabine H .. she is not into spirituality but science ,,,

hey @tyme
I haven't replied to your emial yet apologies
wanted to write a longer piece as part of my own self development so hope thats okay

yes envy is a bad force - but i think it can be channeled into wanting something better for ourselves

Re: Good Morning

yeh his podcast is unreal @Appleblossom

finding Lacan a bit more easy to digest than Nietzche

but both are still good

writing every night before bed too
Sounding more coherent too and at peace with myself
Thinking i went through a horrible phase late last year and have come through it now
funny how i've only just learned that in retrospect
anyway my bed is calling
see you round my friend Apple

Re: Good Morning

I agree with you there @MDT , the beginning of envy can encourage one to improve. But then, do we still call it envy? Or is it just 'inspiration'. Oh well, I'll leave you with that conundrum.

As for the email, all good. I was only just thinking whether you received it. Take your time.

Cheers,

tyme

Re: Good Morning

@MDT Great you are going through the heavy stuff. Read Lacan in undergrad. Can be convoluted like borromean knots ... its a thing ... with him ...

being a woman ... maybe I preferred his student Luce https://iep.utm.edu/irigaray/ but not cos I am or am not gay ... and Helene Cixious... yep read all the dreaded ...

Decades later read a Lacan bio. Seems he had something weird going on with his brother in a monastery ... yep ... his bro was very religious ... cant remember all the details...maybe some sibling rivalry .. but he was not as cool ... as he was made out to be when I was at big school ... in the early 80s ... as is usually the case ... with celebs ... even academic ones..

still we need to live and read and learn
