I was back in Philly for a few hours on Saturday.
One of my best friends and I have had a disagreement for years. He’s always held fast to Orson Welles’ dictum: “We’re all born alone . . . and we all die alone.” Me? I don’t buy it. The born-alone, die-alone line strikes me as aphoristic…

I was at this place the other day, when I noticed a slightly overweight couple walk past me. They took their place on the dance floor when the music came on with a sharp unsk-unsk-unsk-usnk; and then the bass dropped.

Simple writing depicts a profound experiencing. We are living in the world of fast pace changing, where people skip steps, shortens words.. And finally found that we are locked up, and lost in an unspeakable world. Only writing can help relieve the pains and burdens!

The long path is cobbled and uneven, sun blinding and wind fierce.
Hill upon hill, the ghosts of your own life guide you, mislead you.
Voices from beyond whisper goodbye, shouts from behind scream to go on.
How do you see past that?
Personally I’d rather you didn’t tell me something than lie.
I don’t tell lies especially when dating.
So when the first lie popped up, I was wretched.
This is more than a review of Gorilla Mindset. I will not waste your time like most people who “review” books do.
This is inspiring. For someone like me, who always waits for the right time to write, it comes as a blunt reminder that it won’t happen until I start.
Also, could you elaborate on this society? It sounds interesting, and I am not sure if any of such society exist back here in India.
I’ve been thinking a lot about this sought after commodity we call “time”. Time in reference to the ability to step back and really analyze how I currently spend every minute of it outside of work and determine ways I can make better use of it.

Well, I have somewhat been in favour of the above question every time I am entangled in situations where you give your best shot and yet all you receive is misery and dissatisfaction. This happens to me majorly at the workplace.

Thankful that God gave me the will power to push forward and not coward down. I have been out Christmas shopping and listening to people complain of issues that aren’t really problems.

So today finals started, and even though I’m pretty damn sure I’m not gonna be able to fix any of my B’s, I still feel like I’d regret it if I didn’t at least give it a shot. Like McMurphy said, “At least I tried.”
You are born into the social norms that existed at that time. Most often you grow up within those same norms. Even if those norms evolve, its usually quite slowly. If you wish to get on within that society then it is wiser to stick within the norms. When you become older, then you are wiser to forget them and live within the principles you establish…

I like this sentence. Thank you for sharing this. I am three months away to be 1/4 century old. Sometime i do feel bad if i don’t push myself further. The balance is important. And i will try to stop rushing.

You have put all my thoughts into perfect words. I’m still waiting to find that 3 hour break to find my balance!!
Smiling- it’s a expression that can make anyone believe or become gullible.
Laughing- music without lyrics
The moment flashed, in the blink of an eye,
The gesture small, yet truly mine.
Yet I saw it then, and I see it now,
A moment of weakness, our hearts are bound.
Enjoyed the read.. Resonates with what I went through..
IT’S OK TO BLEND IN AND EVEN GREATER TO STAND OUT
It’s quite funny how the world can just toss you around and pull you back and forth just to selfishly…
So people ask what I regret and this is what I tell them I don’t regret what I did in the past all I regret is the things I didn’t do when I had the chance because the past who you are now and if you change the past you change who you are as a person now and that’s not all ways a good thing so remember the past is a story we tell ourselves
I feel these things in myself but I don’t see much of them in the world around me. I hope that changes.

The majority feel as the op does. We just need to be more vocal about it. Or political leaders need to speak up and embrace all Americans, not just the ones ‘like us’.

I’m sorry. I’m sorry that when you see me, you fear for your life. I’m sorry that now even after getting to know me, you still have a doubt.

Hi Gustavo, those were the great things you have come across, I totally agree with the fact that people want to live independent and not just abide by the old traditional ways, every individual in this planet is thinking to live a better life and moreover in recent days people are realizing that being self-centric won’t keep them happy anymore they…
This is such a great read! Loved the central characters, as well as the concept of the sterlings — so original. The story left me wanting to know more about this world. Are there plans to expand on this?
