“the practice that says we’re all in this together; the practice that knows how to accept a blow to the heart; the practice that tries to love the tender hearts inside the people that have hurt us the most; the practice that accepts the inevitability of this all”

a person dedicated to hatred is a person deeply starved of love, a person who does not believe that love exists and has trapped themselves in hell by acting in such a way as to make themselves as unlovable as possible
the most hateful person you’ve ever met was a baby once. nobody is born that way. things happen between being a baby and now to turn people towards hatred and they are all heartbreaking

“are not my intentionally harmful actions justified because it is against the Bad people?”

this fills me with a mix of sadness and anger; can’t people see that this is the history of hurt and war? that this logic is poison, poisons the wounded and the wounder alike??
Does it count as bullying if they're bad people though

at the center, each ______ I meet is a hiker, traveling in the terrain of their self. in everyone’s face I see the glimpses of a sincere and depthful practice that can mostly never be shared, will never be seen. these hikers I respect, their path their own.

if you are or were on the cusp of changing your life to align more with your dreams and ideals, what would push you over the edge?

I’m just here to say: talking to others who have been on the path for decades more than you have is incredible. they don’t have the answers, only you do (or having the answers isn’t helpful) but they hold the familiarity of moving through a question. so much wisdom in age.

you can move without having everything figured out. with the movement comes information that is used to recalibrate and shift direction. so get out there. mess up. make mistakes.
the Knowing comes with the doing.

I think there’s a particular voice that wants to emerge here that’s distinct from Twitter, for me. something bubbling under the surface, neither alt nor non-alt, but some other way of relating and being online, in another (more optimistic) social experiment of a place…

sometimes I just love this city, and the millions or people in it, and how strange and different each person is

“work that is real”

one thing I’ve learned these past few years is that the Self just Knows when the work is real: there’s no fooling one’s self. some work is like an appetizer: a savory experiment. other work is like a dessert, delicious, best in small doses,
everyone stop posting and go out and be of use so i have more people to love

simply being connected to a dense network of highly agentic people acting in good faith is a source of tremendous power. respect the network, choose kindness together, discover unimagined glory for the benefit of all

a few minutes here and it’s wild how clearly different, optimistic, open it feels. the excitement of a place growing anew. new waters, new scoby..!

let us fight tooth and nail not for community norms but for the basic sense of respect and mutuality that proceeds all substantive community, the ability to look your enemy in the eye and still see him as human, even as part of what you are
