More From Tim Ferriss

An important part of building a new culture was allowing people to complain about their past. at first, the more they complained, the worse the past would seem. but by venting, people could start to resolve the past. by bitching and bitching and bitching, they could exhaust the drama of their own horror stories. grow bored. only then could they accept a new story for their lives. move forward.
Drama Moving Past
I looked at other couples and wondered how they could be so calm about it. they held hands as if they weren't even holding hands. when steve and i held hands, i had to keep looking down to marvel at it. there was my hand, the same hand i've always had - oh, but look! what is it holding? it's holding steve's hand! who is steve? my three-dimensional boyfriend. each day i wondered what would happen next. what happens when you stop wanting, when you are happy. i supposed i would go on being happy forever. i knew i would not mess things up by growing bored. i had done that once before.

Israel is a fulfillment, and as a fulfillment, it is flawed. dreams fulfilled are imperfect. and, israel is imperfect, of course it is - a far cry from the monumental dreams of the founding fathers. one of the reasons is that their dreams were unrealistic. they were bigger than life. these were messianic dreams, dreams about total redemption for the jews, for the world. such dreams do not come true, not in their entirety.

To reverse the effects of civilization would destroy the dreams of a lot of people. there's no way around it. we can talk all we want about sustainability, but there's a sense in which it doesn't matter that these people's dreams are based on, embedded in, intertwined with, and formed by an inherently destructive economic and social system. their dreams are still their dreams. what right do i -- or does anyone else -- have to destroy them. at the same time, what right do they have to destroy the world?

The essence of the liberal outlook lies not in what opinions are held, but in how they are held; instead of being held dogmatically, they are held tentatively, and with a consciousness that new evidence may at any moment lead to their abandonment.

Most humans, in varying degrees, are already dead. in one way or another they have lost their dreams, their ambitions, their desire for a better life. they have surrendered their fight for self-esteem and they have compromised their great potential. they have settled for a life of mediocrity, days of despair and nights of tears. they are no more than living deaths confined to cemeteries of their choice. yet they need not remain in that state. they can be resurrected from their sorry condition. they can each perform the greatest miracle in the world. they can each come back from the dead.
Dream Sorry Self Esteem
