“Why do we feel guilty for feeling bad?”

The assumption is subtle but powerful:

Negative emotions are problems to solve. Positive emotions are signs you are doing life correctly.

But human beings are more complex than that.

AI Brain Fry is not just being tired.

It is when the mind keeps processing inputs, tools, messages, and decisions long after work ends.

At some point, the issue is not productivity.

It is the loss of inner space to observe what is happening inside.

It’s like acting while I’m still in control. But why do I feel so drunk?

One interaction in a coffee shop triggered this writing and brought out the process in which I keep my circle small. Sometimes it serves a good purpose, other times it pushes others away and creates an isolation that I do not intend.

In meditation, we learn to observe the observer.

Lately, I cook more often than I deal with money (or all things decimal for relevance here). Which means that when I see numbers like 20 or 19 my mind thinks 40 or 41 as their supplement to fill an hour or minute and vice versa. Base 60.

For these numbers less than sixty, I think first about them compared to sixty before I think about them compared to one hundred or ten.
