cruelty, self pity

I heard the great journalist Pete Hammil giving an interview recently, and he was describing his experience growing up in a community of new york irish american immigrants. He said in that world, the worst sin you could commit was cruelty. The second worst sin was self pity. I thought that was kind of awesome.

awake is the new sleep

The modalities of awakened doing:

-Acceptance
-Enjoyment
-Enthuisiasm

gotta start somewhere.
