1. Work + mental health 2. Judging people 3. Knowing it all 4. Letters from listeners! Four huge ones, but don't worry, we almost dent the surface.
Work
Good to have a role. Structure is connection. People on Joe's psych ward, dosed with news, nothing to do. Some have too much. Work with fair rewards, dignity, autonomy, meaning, and time away!
Judging people
Joe says Sam doesn't judge that much. Joe judged two Gertrude St tiny dog yuppies, then a lady with a lot of work done, but saw that it's hard for her too. We love you, Toorak lady. It's not easy
It doesn't matter who you are or how much you have, everyone has a hard road (Dylan's grandma)
Maybe we judge when threatened or insecure. Maybe Sam is a lucky bastard doesn't have to deal with difficult people.
Ram Dass - we look at trees without judgement, but judge people. People are like trees. Some get more water, light, nutrients, shelter than others. Life bends us all.
Men are born soft and supple
dead, they are stiff and hard
Plants are born tender and pliant
dead, they are brittle and dry
Thus whoever is stiff and inflexible
is a disciple of death
Whoever is soft and yielding
is a disciple of life
The hard and stiff will be broken
The soft and supple will prevail
Tao te Ching 76
Trying to know everything
Sam Harris: reach exceeds his grasp. Joe says good meditation app. Free for low-income, grab that
Sam Ellis: showing off is fun. Bigging yourself up is hard work. It destroys your peace. The world needs knowing, so we can help it. So many clever people. Let's learn from them
Why seek knowledge, if not to act? Joe's Jabiluka/refugee arrests are behind him for now
The more I see, the more I know, the more I know, the less I understand - Paul Weller - Changingman
Slavoi Zizek - Don't act, think
Letters 1. No hope or fear, how do we act? Hope and fear agitate us. Aim for peace
Success is as dangerous as failure
Hope is as hollow as fear
--
Both praise and shame
invite anxiety and fear
Serving one’s ego
only leads to a fiasco
Tao te Ching 13
Tao in You - help with fear and anxiety
Desires of the belly: easy. Desires of the mind: impossible.
We act out of ignorance, passion or goodness
2. Men, feelings, talk. Footy helps. Can we chat without gender?
Zen + the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
If there's something inside that you wanna say
You can say it out loud, it'll be okay
