  1. Where are we headed to, then? Was it during the Stone Age, or even earlier than that, that we were purer and closer to 'self-actualisation'?

  2. After satisfying your needs, more will never be enough.

  3. Most definitely. Less is almost always more.

  4. Maybe, it's time for civilization to end working on addition, starting on subtraction instead.

  5. Progress is when a cannibalistic aphorist learns humility...

  6. Great on Marty, people tend to lose focus on what is truly important.

  7. Well said! The world is just so complicated these days. We can blame no one but ourselves.

  8. I like that. Tricky, but not really. Thanks for sharing.

  9. Productivity is about eliminating what doesn't need to be done as much as it's about working most efficiently. The speed of progress in many things is related to productivity. This is my first read.

    But deeper, in a spiritual context, wisdom arises when we take the seat of witness consciousness and observe our thoughts and emotions as distinct from our core observer. This is progress regardless of productivity, and my second read.

    Thanks, my friend - I know I've been quiet lately, but I've been reading. :) Blessings,

  10. True! Simplifying your life, doing more with less, is progress.
