Things That Have Occurred to Me [Or Make Sense to me Having Heard Them (Yes This is Still the Title)]

1.  It is impossible to know how crazy you are in relation to other people.

2.  If you are suffering: it is impossible to know whether you are being overly sensitive to a relatively minor problem or under-reacting to a relatively major problem because no one but you will ever experience your experiences and vice versa.

3.  Eating whole foods (rather than boxed/packaged foods) and drinking only water doesn't just make you healthier, it nourishes your brain to think and feel properly.

4.  Everyone should participate in some kind of artistic expression.  It is strange to me that some people do not do this.  Regardless of skill or technical competence, artistic expression is a way of reintroducing yourself to yourself (please allow myself to introduce....myself).

5.  Hugging releases Dopamine, Seratonin, and Oxytocin.  Hug people who you like.

6.  Punching people in the face releases Adrenaline.  Adrenaline increases athletic performance.  Punch people you don't like in the face.  (Just kidding)

7.  There is no reason to hate another person for being an idiot, an asshole, or any of those things.

8.  Not hating someone does not mean you have to accept or tolerate them being an idiot, asshole, etc.

9.  If you want to do great things, you must build a structure and foundation for the way you live first.  "Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original in your work"  Gustave Flaubert

10.  Most of what we do, how we feel, and who we are is a direct result of our central nervous system.  Sometimes it is really healthy and beneficial to "deload" the central nervous system.  Deloading the nervous system is just the way I prefer to describe meditation.  Meaning: absolutely no stimuli or activity, and as little thought as possible.  This is basically recharging your battery in a fundamentally different way from sleeping.

11.  Comparing yourself to other people is a completely fruitless exercise, especially when you compare yourself to me because I am better than you.
