 READING, WRITING

Read for 80 seconds in SAPIENS by Yuval Noah Harari.  He says money DOES buy happiness, but only to a point.

Read for 80 seconds in A PROMISED LAND by Barack Obama.  He recalls the nuts & bolts, Ins and outs, etc. of the 2008 crisis in the US, and how he addressed bailing out the Big Three automakers.

Read for 80 seconds in THE RIGHTEOUS MIND by Jonathan Haidt.  He says he struggled with the question about whether social moral norms are evolutionary, or not.  He is careful not to conclude that because a particular moral trait is found in every culture, it must be therefore evolutionary.  etc.

Read for 80 seconds in MAN'S SEARCH FOR MEANING by Viktor Frankl.  He says his mother of 2 sons case history illustrates how a person can find meaning in his/her life.  The mother's life, in itself had meaning because she wanted children, and she had children.  No matter that 1 died, and the other was a cripple for life..  And the meaning for each of the sons was to teach their mother how to live.

I'm thinking about how each of us has a "process" for our lives, and if we "do the best we can" in meeting our challenges, we can ascribe to our lives a meaningfulness that might otherwise go without acknowledgement.

"I did my best."  Did I?
