Hey you, start living.
I need to shut up and just appreciate life as it is.
I think I have been ungrateful. It’s the boredom of having so much and living so little. I am a regular consumer. I consume air, food and energy. The air is fresh in my city, the water is clean and the food is tasty but there are always things that get on my nerves and beg to be bitched about.

I read the “A New Earth” two years ago, vowed to myself that I was going to put in practice what I had learned from that book for the rest of my life. My initial drive had burned out; I did not practice being mindful as much I would have liked to in the past months and now I really want to get back on track in the discipline of the mind again.

His parents watched their child react to...
