It's good that by now I have experienced too much self contradiction not just among the people I meet, but even in myself, to know that having some patience and love is important for a healthy life.
But maybe it's because every day I work on improving my attention span. It's curious how I've been under using my mind.So the Akorino are also into shares? Ah! You're a tourist maybe.
I prefer to underuse my mind, I honestly dont understand why people read Shakespeare in order to be considered learned. I'd rather be unlearned, and use my mind in things that actually matter, like the stock market. I dont understand your last sentence
Not all read Shakespeare in order to be considered learned. And even more disconcerting is that apparently, few know what or how the mind can be used for an optimal life.
My first reading of Shakespeare was Nyerere's 'Mabepari wa Venisi'. It made me think about my self and human nature. That's why I read most of Shakespeare. And though I rarely mention him, the lessons gained inform my thinking.
Now I can control my mind, and oh! the returns on my investment and pain surpass my wildest imaginations.
Think of the last sentence as Zen 'koan'.
