‘Mindful Awareness’ at Psychology, Philosophy and Real Life, Page 4

It seems to me that in a complex situation, we have little alternative but to be self-regulating. To find a diet that is viable we need to take account of factors like what is available, our individual preferences and culture, and our budget.

I think that to have a satisfying life means having a sense of who we are, what our current situation is like, how these match and what we can do about any mismatches.

I think that values can affect our relationship with technology in two ways: the why and the how.

Perhaps next time I will be successful… Perhaps it will only take once more…. How would you feel if you stopped just before you were going to be successful and so robbed yourself of what you had been hoping for…?

The point of contemplating our future death is to bring us back to a vivid consciousness of the here and now. The purpose is to clarify the choices we have, to have a sense of our priorities so that we can take steps to shape our lives around them.
