READING, WRITING

Read for 60 seconds in SAPIENS by Yuval Noah Harari.  He says that Islam, Buddhism and Communism are ALL religions, since they are based on the belief in human norms, and in a belief in "superhuman values."  Neither football nor the Theory of Relativity is a religion since they do not combine these aspects of belief.

Read for 60 seconds in A PROMISED LAND by Barak Obama.  He remembers feeling pangs of fatherly desire to be with his family, and how he sacrificed some - a great deal - to be a candidate for President; he was soon faced with choosing his running mate, and it came down to 2 senate colleagues:  Tim Kaine (VA), and Joe Biden (PA).

Read for 60 seconds in WORKING WITH ONENESS by Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee.  He says that there are no roadmaps or directives for us to follow as we leave behind the patterns of individual dreams, and partake in the collective dreams of this new age.  Some have always dreamed of the new age; others must go through the process of letting go of our own individual paths, and have faith that the way will become clearer and clearer.  (At least, I THINK that's what Vaughan-Lee is saying.)

Read for 60 seconds in THE RIGHTEOUS MIND by Jonathan Haidt.  He says that his path led him from philosophy.... to psychology.... to MORAL psychology.  He selected a certain Professor Jonathan B to be his mentor, and they began to address the question of HOW we come by our morality.  He also addressed such questions as "how is the decision about where to eat dinner, different from whether to get an abortion."  His thought was that the decision about abortion was MUCH more important, because of the MUCH greater need to provide justification for your decision to other people (! - why is THAT so important?).

Read for 1+ page in AN AMERICAN FAMILY by Jon and Michael Galluccio.

Read for 1+ page in THE PERSIAN BOY by Mary Renault.

**********

Vegetarian?  Moi?  I dunno.  If Jon & Michael Galluccio can do it for their adoptive son Adam, should I then not be able to do it for George?

I dunno.  Not today, anyway.  My fruit smoothie IS vegetarian.  But the creamer in  my coffee is dairy.  I'll see how it goes today.

My fast was 16 hours today.

The Timpsons eat meat.

But what is best for ME?

Dunno.
