I’m writing off personal experiences this month, doing my best to collect my thoughts to coherently share with all of you. I wanted to express the joy of consistency and having a sense of stability, even if it appears mundane. In other words, this month’s update kind of has a theme. The theme is appreciating what you have and where you are at the moment, because what we focus on not having tends to take away from what we do own. More details in the audio blog of course, and the video above is a bite size explanation at what I’m getting at in regard to Plato’s Allegory of the Cave.
I promise you this entire update is not just about caves. This is pure coincidence on my part that a video I wanted to share helps illustrate the previous point I wanted to make about reenforcing good habits and practices in the face of new things. Whenever we experience something that goes terribly wrong, it makes us appreciate the times when it didn’t much more. Lots of other close encounters on Chilling Scares YouTube channel.
I still visit theme parks whenever I have the chance to do so. Not once in my entire life have I ever felt that I was going to be in danger of getting hurt when I go. But there’s always something in the back of my mind that it may go wrong, and maybe that adds to the allure of it all. Sometimes I wonder if the long wait times is divine intervention protecting me from becoming a stain on a concrete floor. In any case, thanks to Coaster College for bringing the accident details in a clear coherent way.
My boy EmpLemon has another banger of a video, looking into the philosophical implications of the movie Office Space. Further illustrating what I’m trying to convey this month, it’s funny to dig so much thought and content out of a movie over 25 years old that didn’t do well upon release. The irony is also not lost that this movie was (and is) remembered fondly more so than anything that has been released in the last 10 years in terms of lasting cultural impact.
Artist is Cacao
There is a good chance that I’ve mentioned this artist of the month before. But their work is so stunning, I’m just going to go with my gut and recommend them again. Cacao is the artist of the month, and you can see their vast array of jaw dropping work on Pixiv and Artstation. Always share your appreciation when you can with them.
