Many decisions are almost impossibly difficult. We ruminate, vacillate, agonize. What should we do?
You Must Change Your Life
Nice or Effective
While Republicans do what it takes to accomplish things, Democrats are constrained by morals and ethics, by wanting to be good and decent people.
The Inevitability of Change
The only constant is change. You can’t step in the same river twice. You can’t go home again. We change as we age and the world changes around us. Change can be stressful, but resisting change can also be stressful.
A Lack of Trust
A lack of trust is strongly correlated with unhappiness. In the U.S. we are seeing an increasing lack of trust between people on different sides of the partisan divide.
The One Cat
Nothing is meant by this by this comic. I just like cats, and the Tolkien paraphrase seemed appropriate.
Eine Kleine Schadenfreude
People love to take delight in other people’s misfortune. Sometimes this delight can be a big motivator.
The Political Efficacy of Art
Does art make any difference in the real world? Can it change things?
Wanting to Want
Sometimes we are envious not of what another person is doing, but that they know what they want to do.
Rules for Others
Most people acknowledge that some number of rules are necessary for peace and harmony. They just don’t want the rules applied to themselves.
The Worst Form of Government
Some people believe that the State is the cause of great problems and that we would be better off with no government.
