I wrote to F last week that I was feeling embarrassed/ashamed that my responses to people asking me how my life was had become the same kind of narrative. I take a breath and exhale a litany or list of events that never seem to happen to people with that elusive stability. But in recent times, there is stability. And it may not be the stability that others have but I’m not that person anymore. I understand that things are relative; that there’s a cognitive bias; and a kind of programming going on that speaks to this concept of stability in mind. I can stop and take a breath and see a lot of very stable things right now.
But things going on in the world have and do impact me greatly. I think everyone probably needs to take stock. Things in life are not black and white either. And the following podcast doesn’t have all the answers. And may even be reductionist and it might even make you feel like asking two white men to check their privilege. But there are salient points here.
