RE: The Eye of the Storm — reflections (and vote for witnesses!)
So, so true!
I have been realising more that separating giving and receiving is just not the way to conceptualise them - for starters, no one can give without receiving.
And when we truly, truly feel loved and supported (i.e. receive), love will be overflowing and touch the lives of those around us.
And about wu wei...
I feel like that is my rightful form of taking action, even though it may appear as lazy in this hyper-productive world.
When I lean back, and not try to control or micromanage everything, it flows much more smoothly.
P.S. You're extemely perceptive! I hail from Singapore (a former British colony). But I have lived in the States for a few years. (:
100%!
I enjoy living a slower-paced life where I can appreciate the little things. What is the point, after all, in burning ourselves out as workaholics and damaging our health just to achieve society's version of "success?"
Oh, that's really interesting! I don't know many people from Singapore, but from what I've seen it's a really unique place. !ENGAGE 20
Yes, it's not only the length of our lives that matter, but also the quality of our lives - and that's dependent on the presence we bring to each moment.
What have you heard of Singapore?
Singapore's generally lovely, except for the extremely fast pace of life (I'm probably an outlier). But then again, that's inevitable for most urban cities.
Completely agree.
I first heard of Singapore when I was in 6th grade or so; my close friend's dad had a job over there and he told me about his experience when he came back. I mainly remember him saying that the laws were really strict, haha.
Other than that, I don't know much about its history other than being a unique melting pot of cultures and having English as the main language. Also watched a mini-documentary talking about how much of the natural habitat was destroyed in the process of urbanization and the attempt to "re-green" the city areas by implementing green architecture, which I find really fascinating. !engage 15
—Now what was that called again? Oh yeah, biophilic architecture.
