The Weekend “What You Need”

"I don’t want to necessarily see you live to be 100 years old. Living to be 100 or 110 is not the top priority. The important thing is not living a long life — it’s dying well. Because the average American spends 10 to 20 years dying and suffering, and giving all of your money back to your doctor in that period."

Now we must find a way to apply this to all humans.

I found a woman with a curious body suit on the edge of Washington Square Park. She turned out to be an artist named Galina Rybatsky, and she explained her work as such:
“When your pulse drops below 76, it funnels blood out of the mask and your vision is cleared. When your pulse rises above 76, the blood is funneled back into the mask and your vision is obscured. It’s designed to teach the user to be sensitive to environmental stressors, and to learn how these stressors affect the body.”

When faced with a thick, heavy, detestable, obstacle: look it square in the face and tell it you won’t be defeated. Vow to it that you will come out on top. Swear that its ugly, slimy, warty, hairy, face will be pasted onto your shoe as you tromp right ahead. Pick it up with every muscle in your body and overcome it. If it is heavy, and doesn’t budge the first time around, try again. They may look huge, but you’re the boss.
Win against challenges.
Beat the crap out of obstacles.
And don’t forget that those hideous, poisonous, unforgiving SOB’s deserve thanks as well. For if it weren’t for them, we’d never grow.

"We are living in a culture entirely hypnotized by the illusion of time, in which the so-called present moment is felt as nothing but an infinitesimal hairline between an all-powerfully causative past and an absorbingly important future. We have no present. Our consciousness is almost completely preoccupied with memory and expectation. We do not realize that there never was, is, nor will be any other experience than present experience. We are therefore out of touch with reality. We confuse the world as talked about, described, and measured with the world which actually is. We are sick with a fascination for the useful tools of names and numbers, of symbols, signs, conceptions and ideas."

Man speaks the truth

humansofnewyork:

“Is there anything you want to say?”“Nah, I got nothing to say. I used to talk a lot. Not anymore. I just go with the flow. More talking, more bullshit.”
