“An essential element in the meaning of the common good among the members of a group is what the members would choose if they possessed the fullest attainable understanding of the experience that would result from their choice and its most relevant alternatives.

I have never been more satisfied with a DNF. No one goes into a race not wanting to finish. Of course everyone wants to finish the race. They have put a whole bunch of training into this effort. They want to get out there and finish the job. For me this DNF was a long time coming. I waited two years to earn this DNF. I was supposed to run this event… Read More
“Humans – who enslave, castrate, experiment on, and fillet other animals – have had an understandable penchant for pretending animals do not feel pain. A sharp distinction between humans and ‘animals’ is essential if we are to bend them to our will, make them work for us, wear them, eat them – without any disquieting tinges of guilt or regret.

“First or last? Sometimes the first move is the most important. The first set in the gym. Now you’re working out. The first sentence. Now you’re writing. The first call. Now you’re in the game.

“At the establishment of our constitutions, the judiciary bodies were supposed to be the most helpless and harmless members of the government. Experience, however, soon showed in what way they were to become the most dangerous; that the insufficiency of the means provided for their removal gave them a freehold and irresponsibility in office; that their decisions, seeming to concern individual suitors only, pass silent and unheeded by the public at large;… Read More
“The average man votes below himself; he votes with half a mind or a hundredth part of one. A man ought to vote with the whole of himself, as he worships or gets married. A man ought to vote with his head and heart, his soul and stomach, his eye for faces and his ear for music; also (when sufficiently provoked) with his hands and feet. … The question is not so… Read More
“Many of the best things in life are endless. Being in a great relationship. Staying fit and healthy. Doing work that fulfills you. Being a good parent, coach, or teacher. Stop worrying about accomplishing these things and instead focus on building a life where you continually practice them. The important stuff has no finish line.” – James Clear It is interesting to see flowers of similar colors from Bluets to: New York… Read More
“Accept Where You Are to Get You Where You Want to Go. Seeing clearly, accepting, and starting where you are. Not where you want to be. Not where you think you should be. Not where other people think you should be. But where you are.” ― Brad Stulberg, The Practice of Groundedness: A Transformative Path to Success That Feeds–Not Crushes–Your Soul Click the link to see another beautiful white flower image, but… Read More
We all know that social media has like a million and 1 negative effects on our society. But it does have some beneficial qualities too. And I really try to focus on using social media for the good. Social media can be harmful when we see other’s carefully curated lives and have negative thoughts about our lives. Why aren’t our lives as good as theirs seems to be? But there is a… Read More
Recently I had a day off from work. And I decided I was going to make the most of it by going to photograph waterfalls at one of my favorite state parks. I haven’t gone out to much landscape photography in a while so I was excited for the opportunity. Unfortunately for my wife, but fortunately for me as it turns out, my wife was not off from work that day. She… Read More
