Let's make it simple

Guest Blog by Mark Manson:

As human beings, we have a limited amount of attention for all the stuff going on around us. Therefore, whether we realize it or not (usually not), we are always choosing what we pay attention to. The confirmation bias is the human mind’s tendency to notice and pay more attention to objects and experiences that match its preexisting thoughts and beliefs. It does this for the simple reason that it is biologically economical and efficient.

A Reflection

If you could sit on this park bench with anyone from your past or present,
who would it be?

Are you seeking happiness?

Don't seek happiness! Seek being free from your unhappiness. So stop trying to be happy. Start living.
As Mr Bill says, "make peace with yourself, and get along with it all".

Success

If at first you don't succeed, you are about average. But I would not recommend skydiving.

Looking for the sum of his parts

Did I hear you correctly?

Going nowhere therapy!

Moore Wright than wrong

They sent me to tell you, that your behavior decides who will stay in your life.


Moore Wright
New Immigrant

MOORE WRIGHT-a recent immigrant, is here because he married Mamie Dell Small. They live in a Yurk, out on the edge.  He only shows up when they tell him to deliver a message. We are not sure who "they" really are?

Fan favorite Maybe, maybe not

                             One interpretation of your belief is correct the other is wrong.
                       Example: You probably believe that virgin wool is newly spun wool.
                              Virgin wool actually comes from the sheep that run the fastest.

Footnotes:Dr I B Thinking's post on Jan. 7 has been the most viewed post to date. Since that time the good Dr has change in appearance and choice of bow ties. 

Is this weird?

Les Wrong has a dog named C-A-Tee, and a cat named D-O-gee???

JES B RAMBLING-it is Jes B in present tense and Jes Been in past tense. Jes is a pilgrim and not seen a lot in public, but on occasions he will have something to point out. He usually likes to do nothing and seems he never gets finished of doing nothing. He relates often, that if you never start anything you will never have to finish.  Jes has a gift of finding Hysterical Sites. He will ponder and investigate well  before he documents his findings. He is credited with documenting several pseudo normal sites in The Sane Asylum. The best time to catch one of Jes's post will be when he is wandering around with purpose. In those states he is usually accompanied by our In Resident Photographer, Dado. He likes to piddle around with some of the homesteaders but his whereabouts are usually unknown.

Happy Easter Bunny

Happy Easter Bunny!

Family history

Les, do any of your family members suffer from mental dis-ease?

Les-"No. They all seem to enjoy it". 

LESS WRONG-his therapy session is always in progress, so if you encounter him please do not disturb any further. He has many pairs of colorful reading glasses and on occasion will color his hair to match his eye wear. Less may offend you from time to time with his comments and he seems to take great pride in doing so. He thinks Dr Ego has a bad case of Selfie Esteem.

We all have14th century savage knowing in us all, just as we have compassion knowing.
The problem today is the 14th savage inside some have access to 21st centry weapons.

Staying in touch with your knowing of compassion is a beautiful thing.
