READING, WRITING 

Rumi for today (plus catchup)

Read for 70 seconds in SAPIENS by Yuval Noah Harari.  He says banks take money from savers, and then loan that money to entrepreneurs, who then pay contractors.  The system allows participants to "double" and "triple" the money when there is actually only the original amount in the bank.

Read for 70 seconds in A PROMISED LAND by Barack Obama.  He recalls the turmoil of his first day(s) in office; the honeymoon period was when they got some things done.

Read for 70 seconds in WORKING WITH ONENESS by Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee.  He says our lives have the purpose - the "great destiny" of uncovering our own soul.  We can best do this by seeing our lives NOT as an accumulation of desires or goals, but as a flow of events.  Becoming attuned to the flow of life means to recognize that things are both lost and found.

Read for 70 seconds in THE RIGHTEOUS MIND by Jonathan Haidt.  He says he wondered what TIME & PLACE in the brain is active when we make moral decisions/judgments.  He cites the example of the trolley car when a person needed to push one person to his death in order to save 5 other people from death.  Which is right?  DEONTOLOGISTS would say he should NOT push the one person to his death.

Read for 70 seconds in MAN'S SEARCH FOR MEANING by Viktor Frankl.  He says life in the camp involved silly expressions of art, along with prisoner applause which led to favorable results for the prisoner.

Read for 70 seconds in THE COMFORT CRISIS by Michael Easter.  Fun read!
