Trying to wield authority without confidence is like trying to aim a gun while being too afraid to look.

I can't sleep, so I'm going to be tackling one of the writing tasks on my daily schedule... not the "finish the chapter" one because I shouldn't be doing that while I'm tired, and not the AWW one because that's sort of technical.

Anyway, here's the thought that's going through my head right this second:

No amount of success will necessarily make you feel like you've got the approval you've been lacking. Neither, for that matter, will any amount of approval.

If you find yourself in a discussion about somebody's "life choices", and you find yourself saying words to the effect of "I'm sorry, but I can't imagine any situation where I would have to ______..." or "...where ______ would seem necessary." or "...______ would seem like a viable option", for any value of _______, then it might be worth considering how much more this statement reflects upon the limits of your own life experience and imagination than it does anything else.

This thought brought to you by about 90% of the internet discussions I've witnessed or been a party to in the last week.

...if you should meet the Buddha on the road, tell him he's heading in the wrong direction.

It's only polite.

"Yo, dude. Enlightenment's that way!"
