People are always telling me I think too much about things. Like there's some magical switch in my brain I can turn off, like my thinkometer can reach a certain level and all of the sudden my mind will shut down and think about nothing, or something else entirely. I guess I try to believe that you are in complete control of your thoughts at all times, but are you in complete control of how much you think them? I'm not sure I understand how I'm supposed to not think about things so much, or why I'm supposed to not think about them so much. Maybe you should think about things a bit more, did you ever think of that? Maybe thinking so much isn't a bad thing, maybe it's no better than not thinking at all though. Do most people not think a lot? Does it make me strange to think? To say conversations are beautiful and to want to know people's innermost thoughts? What else are we here to do? Human beings are the most incredible species in the world because we have thoughts, we can communicate those thoughts, we can create real things from those thoughts. Isn't that the  most wonderful thing about this life?

Just enjoy whats good and fix what's not, like by thinking about something I'm not enjoying it? I think I get to enjoy things more because I think about them. Or is there some magical way to enjoy everything without thinking about it? How do I do it?

Then, a couple of days later, God said, “Let us make man in our image after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish in the sea, over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth”. And just like that humanity was thrust forth into a downward spiral of domination, over-exploitation and consumption. Of course it is not all that simple: there were many different players, institutions and powers involved. However, the concept that humans are exclusively advanced and thus have a position of privilege on the planet, which has its roots in the Judeo-...

Today was a very beautiful day filled with beautiful things; snow falling on my face while walking with an interesting stranger towards the foggy and lit up Empire State Building, the smile on my sisters face as she leaves for a new job that she loves, the jazz musicians in the subway at Union Square and the crowd surrounding them as they play, and this video. This is beautiful. I love life. Some days the city makes me feel defeated, like I have completely failed. Today was not one of those days.
