This Week's RehashJun 06, 2023

#158 Have you taken a $h!t Today?
Feeling frustrated of not being where you want to be in life? Finding that there are so many things you lack? Worrying about retirement, the economy and all the idiots running this country?
Have no fear, a happy tip is here.
Schadenfreude [shahd-n-froi-duh], I think is the term for the satisfaction or pleasure felt at someone else's misfortunes.

#157 Trust in the Great Unknown
When things seem to go down the drain, in what or to whom do you put your faith into?
Jesus, Allah, Mohammed, Science. the government...Chuck Norris? :D

#155 Family Business
Blood is thinker than water so we say. Family should stay together, back each other up, forgive and forget.
Well, that same logic is what has been taken as a license to take advantage of family.

#154 When we complain, we remain
Which principle do you subscribe to?
"The squeaky wheel gets the oil?" or
"When you complain, you remain?"

#153 Blessed are the Childless
Having children isn't all that it is hyped up to be. It takes a whole lot to raise even just one.

#152 Enjoy the Process
Experiments have been done that shows through brain scans that people who try to learn to juggle whether they learn or not show the same brain activity while learning.

#151 Life is too short
It is true that Life is short but like most things we hold as truth, it is also relative.

#150 Gift Giving
Should a gift giver relinquish control over what is given?
The more expensive the item is and the harder it was to acquire, the more attached we become. It becomes more of a favor expected to be returned than a gift that was freely given.

#148 TWR Profiles: Eric "I just don't like Thinking that much"

#147 Honesty, NOT the best Policy
Is honesty really the best policy? Have you ever told a white lie? Have you lied to your spouse, your child or your boss?
Now, I ask again, is Honesty really the Best Policy?

#145 The Third World Diet
"I am ON a diet" is proof that diets do not work, because that means at one point in time we will get OFF of it, but there is one diet that I think will work because it is about changing the life style and not the actual food we eat.

#143 The Golden Rule
Matthew (7:12): “In everything, do to others what you would have them do to you"
The Golden Rule they call it, but does it actually work?

#142 Institutionalized
“You believe whatever you want, but I tell you these walls are funny. First you hate them, then you get used to them. Enough time passes, it gets to you depend on them. That’s institutionalized.” - Red in Shawshank Redemption

#141 It is what it is
"It is what it is" or "C'est La Vie" and another one is "Que Sera Sera". Although they maybe true, it is still annoying to hear.
Is that our excuse to quit? Just accept our fate and leave it be?

#133 Age Does Not Matter
If am a rude to you, how would you most likely treat me back? Will my age matter to you?
If your child was vulgar to you, how would you respond? How about if it’s a teenager on the street?
So why do we give the rude and nasty elderly people more slack ? Is being an elderly an excuse to be nasty to people?

Most challenges in life are painful. When we are in the moment, it feels as if it won’t end or we question why we have to go through it. It is not until we pass through that valley that we realize, that what we thought was a set back was more of a set up for better days.

#105 Impermanence
What makes life so valuable?
Usually we don't know what we got until we are about to or actually lose it.
It is not that we take it for granted, it’s more of thinking that whatever it is, will always be there.
It gives a whole new meaning to the phrase Live in the now and appreciate the moment when we realize what it took to get here and how fleeting this moment is.

#104 Personal Politics
Quite frankly, presidential elections are dramatic and is more of a spectacle than anything else. Politicians will be politicians no matter the party. What really affects us most are the local laws that our own city and state come up with. Those are what screws with our everyday lives. I often wonder how it would be like if there were no professional politicians. Instead just regular working men and women who volunteer some of their time to actually serve the people.

#103 Remembering the Dead
I guess the concept of people passing is hard for us to grasp because no one really knows what happens after or is there even an after life.
Every tradition has their own version of a world beyond this one and whatever requirements necessary to have a pleasant life there.
I guess that is why we imagine the after life as something like this life because this is all we know.

#102 Be Right or Be Happy
Do you want to be right or Do you want to be Happy? Many of us are usually happy when we are right but some can only be happy if they are right. I guess it is another way of saying, You might be right, but is it worth it?

#98 Eight Learning Styles
It may not be a problem with attention. It may just the teaching method is not suited to the child's learning style. Hopefully, by figuring out how children learn and adapting to it would help out parents in the home school situation that was forced on them by the pandemic.

As much as we would like to seek peace, understand both sides of the argument, at one point or another, sooner or later, we would have to take a side or the chose will be made for us. It is not until the destruction is brought to our front door do we really realize what side we are on.

#88 How long do we hold on?
Two traveling monks reached a town where there was a young woman waiting to step out of her sedan chair. The rains had made deep puddles and she couldn’t step across without spoiling her silken robes. She stood there, looking very cross and impatient. She was scolding her attendants. They had nowhere to place the packages they held for her, so they couldn’t help her across the puddle.
The younger monk noticed the woman, said nothing, and walked by. The older monk quickly picked her up and put her on his back, transported her across the water, and put her down on the other side. She didn’t thank the older monk, she just shoved him out of the way and departed.
As they continued on their way, the young monk was brooding and preoccupied. After several hours, unable to hold his silence, he spoke out. “That woman back there was very selfish and rude, but you picked her up on your back and carried her! Then she didn’t even thank you!
“I set the woman down hours ago,” the older monk replied. “Why are you still carrying her?” - by Jon J. Muth from the book Zen Shorts.

#87 Better off Hungry
It turns out, when we have a full stomach, when we are not busy looking for food or surviving the elements, we tend to find other issues and drama to deal with. Idle hands and minds either tend to create something amazing or commit horrific crimes. That's just how we are I guess.

#85 It starts with US
Black history is American history - Morgan Freeman
How does cutting the Police Department's budget solve racism? Is this how we thank them for protecting us during the riots? How about taking out the Mayor's protective detail and take him out of his bubble?
Racism or Police Brutality? One is a matter of perception, how we perceive and relate to each other while the other as a matter or training and policy which is far more practical to solve.
All this, starts at home.
I think it is more important to make headway in our own house, by the time the system comes into play, the damage is done - Denzel Washington

#82 Do what you got to do
TV talking heads and politicians keep debating on whether it is a good idea to open up the economy. Who should make the call, what businesses are to be permitted and so forth. Keep in mind all these people are getting paid to talk even when they are at home. None of these people care about our families. They can careless about the bills that we have to pay. At the end of it all, we have to decide and do what we got to do to survive.

#80 All a Matter of Perspective
Ever been in one of those carnival mazes? Isn't it frustrating to find your way out while in it? Then you look up and you hear your friends trying to coach you on which path to take because they got out before you and they are watching you from a higher point of view. It’s all just a matter of perspective.

#78 Budget in Lock down
Lessons Learned in Lockdown: Budget
Not everyone has the luxury of making residual income or working from home. For those of us who still have to go out and work to make a living, we have to find other ways to ease the burden and one of the lessons learned in this lockdown is how important a budget is so that we could have a "Buffer" and an "Emergency money" especially for times like this.

#77 Homeschooling during Lockdown
Lessons Learned in Lockdown: Homeschooling
All of a sudden all children are now homeschooled even the college students. It isn't that bad right?
There are a lot of misconceptions about homeschooling and perhaps one good thing out of this lockdown is that people would get to see that it is not how it is portrayed in mainstream media.

#76 Civil Liberties in Crisis
It is a slippery slope when we start giving up our civil liberties. Is it not the whole point of having a constitution, is to have a guiding principle when the lines get blurry and things get tough. Is safety more important than freedom?

#75 Safety v Economy
As we all go through this ordeal with Covid-19, people are questioning our 45th President's encouragement to open up the Economy and let people start working again.

As much as I'd like to keep myself and my family safe, I am worried that my shortened work hours would be enough to sustain my family.

#45 Suspensions are now Suspended
California Senate Bill 419 by July of 2020, bans all public and charter schools from suspending students whose behavior falls under "Willful Defiance" until 2025 if not extended. It now allows students to swear and insult their teachers, not their school work, not to follow directions and not to pay attention with no consequence. So what is school for then? Maybe some children are just not meant for school because they learn in a different way. How about those children that want to do well in school. Who advocates for them?
