work and money - cycling around and around and ....
Sometimes... this seems to be a clear idea.. There is a phrase/slogan... something like: the economy is not a matter of supplies and demands... and scarcities ... but it is a matter of work and accomplishments and products and services and money going around and around so that everybody can earn and spend and live well..... The Goods are there... it is just a matter of distributions which are not based on owners charging outrageous prices for apparent specialness.....

do no harm....
So often, these days, whe I find myself disturbed and have a reaction but I do not "publish" it immediately. Similiarly to "counting to 10" I now often hesitate with my reactions and more often than not I do not publish my reaction at all or I moderate it a lot. This is a working solution to over-reacting and a work in progress.
And then there is things which ought to be said and done and changes initiated and people need to know, etc. etc... BUT - a feeling of despair and hopelessness and thus - alienation are the reigning feelings. Too many people just don't care and that is a feeling I can share with those people. Why bother one can think. Why care? Care about what? Indulge in ??? - SO.... No Complaints. Why complain. At work management doesn't care. Management wants peace and quiet. At home there are too many buttons that might be pushed in the complaining and the reaction to the complaint. SO - NO COMPLAINTS.
Be harmless. Take in whatever may be negative. Put out whatever can be positive. AH.... Tonglen. It appeals greatly to me. What is out there is so often pain and suffering and problems and fatigue and hard, etc... None of that can be controlled. All one can do is be the best one can be and put out into the world the best one has to offer such as love and peace and warmth and goodness and energy. Not that the positives will effect the negatives nor that there will be balance nor that solutions will come to be.. BUT.... lovingkindness and compassion to others and to oneself is ALL!!!!!
