A quotation from Bertrand Russell

   Almost everybody is deeply affected when some one he loves suffers from cancer. Most people are moved when they see the sufferings of unknown patients in hospitals. Yet when they read that the death-rate from cancer is such-and-such, they are as a rule only moved to momentary personal fear lest they or some one dear to them should acquire the disease. The same is true of war: people think it dreadful when their son or brother is mutilated, but they do not think it a million times as dreadful that a million people should be mutilated. A man who is full of kindliness in all personal dealings may derive his income from incitement to war or from the torture of children in “backward” countries.
   All these familiar phenomena are due to the fact that sympathy is not stirred, in most people, by a merely abstract stimulus. A large proportion of the evils in the modern world would cease if this could be remedied.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Education and the Good Life, Part 1, ch. 2 “The Aims of Education” (1926)

WIST Quotations

Having gone to a 10 day #Vipassana retreat, I recognize that the #technique gives me the #sensitivity and the tools to work on my #adhd.

1. I am aware of #anxiety popping up where I would not have noticed it, before.
2. I can observe my #focus getting twitchy because of my anxiety, trying to find #peace somewhere.
3. I can prevent it latching onto random thoughts.
4. I can redirect my focus to #consciousness, #balance and my #body.

This retrains the #compulsion into a me that I enjoy more ❤️‍🩹
