In these very difficult days, I keep coming back to a simple question: What conduct do I want to be known for?
Religious folks sometimes frame this as asking how they will answer for their actions at the pearly gates - but we're all asking ourselves the same thing.
When the confusion, anger, and agony have passed, and we're left with what they've wrought, how will we make our peace with who we were & what we did in the thick of it all?
Our answers will differ.
But it's a good question to ask.
yes, it should be considered at sundown or bedtime every day. a Stoic spiritual practice..
of course i'm biased, since as bipolar my brain does daily reruns 🙄on its own. no prompt necessary.
i see it as practice for the inevitable bardo.
Oh, we bipolars are VERY good at the judicial part... but not so much the "due process" bit. It's more of an inquisition situation we've got going on, eh? Either way, though: we're pros at it!
yup, it's quite the rigorous process 💪🏾
@MLClark
exactly. no escape from judicial review, and that's an apt metaphor 🫣
