Scrambled cities: If you're not gonna do the work(on your soul), then you might as well work til you die

 There are two tiers in normal life. Those who are survive and those who thrive.  But nothing is a mistake in life: Nothing comes by chance. You have to prepare for it.  If you thought life was about making money and beating out the Jones's, you've lost already.  Life is: Desire for connection. All unhealthy competition is isolating. We live in an isolated-enough world already. This connection comes from a surprising place: Self-acceptance. A lot of us need to go back to the classroom. A lot of us need to take a silent breather and check in with what we need. This takes serious work. It's the real work. It relies on respect for others and self-respect.  A lot of people in the self-help community try to push the self aside: Manning up is the only side of it they see.

Apocalypse in a Jar

 So I bought this 5 liter plastic water container and put some rocks in it and some plants and then I added some ornamental shrimp to live inside.  The first few days 2 of them died. Then a third, then I got 5 more shrimp to put inside. 

Now the thing is the color of my dreams. It looks like hell on earth. It's like I made a doomsday scenario for these poor creatures and their babies and inwardly I feel I couldn't do anything else. They would have died no matter what; just as long as I was involved in the process. 

That's how it feels. I'm not saying it's true, but that's how it feels. 

Well I'm bracing for a storm that looks like that and I think it'll happen fairly soon with the way things are going. I stick to myself, live off very little money and all I do is work. 

On my off-days I sleep and sleep. 

This is hell for me but I'm assuming there's be an end to it at some point. I'm assuming so. I'm praying so. 

And I just checked on the shrimp 2 minutes ago. I got my flashlight and went out onto the balcony and shone it into the little tank. Turns out there's one bright blue one swimming around in there. Who would have expected it? I'm not that bad after all I guess. 

Maybe there's hope.
