Switch Weekly Log
Maybe there could be a monthly or quarterly journal.
I made a monthly journal to try it out and put four weekly journals in a row, but it seemed too short.
Anger is infectious.
I usually think "anger is poison to me" and at best I'm in control, at worst I'm emotionally flat.
I observed the young man's anger and his emotions were activated for a while.
There's an "expectation of others" that "if we do better, we can make the world a better place."
Gap between ideal and reality] is created because expectations are ideal and others do not meet those expectations in reality
I used to think that I didn't understand the expression that older people often use to describe how they "suck the lifeblood of young people so that they can live longer and younger", but now I understand it a little better. Aging has reduced the power of emotion in the person.
So when you resonate with another person's emotions and your heart is moved, that becomes a scarce resource.
However, if we ignore personalities and look at it as a system, it would be a good thing if the amount of public output is increased by devoting the scarce resource of emotion.
We must separate between bloodletting for personal satisfaction and bloodletting for the public good.
I think you're being too naive in your estimates to think that you can translate a 10 year old book as is and release it in book form and expect people around the world to read it.
Pick a good point, make it into a short article that can be read online for free, relate it to the current context, and only a few people will finally read it!
