What’s one thing you know now that would have saved your younger self a lot of pain?
Pain?! Lots of pain saved with this simple insight: “Being alone is ok”. As a chronic relationship chaser, now somewhat reformed, “You do not need someone else to make you whole”.
Anyway …
I am trying out Amazon Unlimited. So I thought, Space Opera!
Bobby Adair, Freedom’s Fire. So good!!!! Just the right amount of a good storyline to keep me interested. Not normally a SciFi person but this is okay.
What’s the weirdest movie you’ve ever watched?
And rewatched – This is Spinal Tap. It is a Mockumentary and has some classic lines. Also, I am never certain if it is for real or comedy. Anyway, watch if you have not seen it.
Tell us about your morning routine.
Well!? I wake up (normally before the sunrises) and listen to the news on the radio. I have a HomePod and I use that as my alarm clock. (Also I use it to listen to audiobooks.) After the news I get a coffee from the drip machine. It has a timer so all automatic as long as I remember to set it the night before. And then I doom scroll on TikTok for a bit.
That is it!
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
Romans 12:1
Tbh, two things I dislike the most: people and travel. So maybe “I have no clue and I do not want to know”!? I am not a misanthrope – I just find life a lot easier without people in it. I could, however, image myself traveling alone. With headphones!
Anxiety may be compared with dizziness. He whose eye happens to look down into the yawning abyss becomes dizzy. But what is the reason for this? It is just as much in his own eye as in the abyss, for suppose he had not looked down. Hence anxiety is the dizziness of freedom, which emerges when the spirit wants to posit the synthesis and freedom looks down into its own possibility, laying hold of finiteness to support itself. Freedom succumbs in this dizziness. Further than this, psychology cannot and will not go. In that very moment everything is changed, and freedom, when it again rises, sees that it is guilty. Between these two moments lies the leap, which no science has explained and which no science can explain.

I wonder about some people in the news. Or on the internet, especially those who are big in social media. Sometimes I think, “this person cannot be real”. So …
I would ask, “Is she/he one of you?“. You know who I am talking about. Even people in history – they cannot be from this world. They must have been beamed down from some space ship.
