Deal or not …

“You can deal with your trauma, in whatever clean or messy way you have, or you can BECOME your trauma. It’s never been easier than that.” – Dr. Freckles

Do you take the money?

Thought Experiment or Gedanken:

Let’s say you were a podcaster, and you spoke YOUR truth. One day some dude comes to you and says – “I’ll give you $5 million to stop talking about your truth.”

Do you take the money?

If you do why?

If you don’t why?

Secrets and Lies …

One of the questions I placed on the chalkboard, based upon the books the students are reading, is the following:

What is the difference between a lie and a secret?

It doesn’t have a simple answer, and because of that it generates thinking …

People keep secrets … and this is something that we do for lots of reasons, some are good, some are bad.

People lie – but sometimes the lies are MORE ABOUT acceptance, and not just judging every “less than perfect” person around you.

MOAR on CURSING …

When I was a kid I had a bicycle.

My sister cried to my parents “let me ride Dan’s bicycle”.

I was angry and I told her “I hope you crash”.

She crashed, and had to be taken to the ER, chipped tooth.

That’s a CURSE. That’s CURSING.

When I was a boy, my “evil sister” was pissing me off …

She was standing on the deck of our second house, being a bitch.

I took the hose and sprayed the hornets nest in the cedar stump.

The hornets went after my yelling, EVIL, sister …

THAT was GAME THEORY.
