Having a soft heart in a cruel world is courage, not weakness. Approach others from a place of great kindness, and we can shape the world that we want to live in.

I hope the world never has to find out what happens during a viral quarantine where people don’t observe social distancing. #COVID19 #Social_Distancing #coronavirus

Our society has a compassion deficit. If someone cuts you off in traffic, they could be racing their child to a hospital or distracted after some challenging news, but we usually assume they’re stupid or rude. #Compassion #PhilosophyOfLife #reframe

Almost all of our thoughts are not earth-changing or profound. Is this realization a chance to practice non-attachment? #Philosophy #stoicism #zen

Facts of life: In biology, if there's a source of nutrition, a life form will evolve to exploit it. In commerce, if there's a source of income, a business will evolve to exploit it.

@bencasnocha And some researchers say the effect of Loneliness on longevity is like smoking 10-15 cigarettes a day

[davecarlson @davecarlson]

@bencasnocha An anthrocentric meaning of life is okay, but it's hard to guide actions by how we predict they'll be perceived now or by posterity. How do we know what's best, now w/o a guiding principle?
