[#41.2020] 12 Rules For Life - An Antidote To Chaos

Foreword by Dr. Norman Doidge, MD (Author of The Brain That Changes Itself)

It is because we are born human that we are guaranteed a good dose of suffering. And chances are, if you or someone you love is not suffering now, they will be within five years, unless you are freakishly lucky.

Rule 1 - Stand up straight with your shoulders back

Lobsters have more in common with you than you might think (particularly when you are feeling crabby - haha).

..it is easy to assume that "nature" is something with a nature - something static. But it's not: at least not in any simple sense. It's static and dynamic, at the same time.

This is because chaos and order are interchangeable, as well as eternally juxtaposed. There is nothing so certain that it cannot vary. Even the sun has its cycles of instability. Likewise, there is nothing so mutable that it cannot be fixed. Every revolution produces a new order. Every death is, simultaneously, a metamorphosis.
