220422 What I learned in my studies this morning 2

Expected things fail, 

It's a rain that never comes, 

That's ok. All good. 

Daily Stoic:

Humans, as rational animals, set their purpose unlike any other creature. How like a god..... 

Biologist E. O. Wilson said, "We have Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions, and godlike technology." 

Can my rationality overcome my monkey brain? (The more primitive lizard brain is involved in the three Fs, not in "driving the bus" so to speak.) 

Built-in emotional reactions, minus decided action, constantly try to short circuit my plans for a calm and tranquil life; giving in to — hell, CREATING — the impulses which, if believed, turn every situation into a crisis. 

That why I have to think about it so damn much. If I don't, the monkey drives and who knows where I'll end up?
