Three things I learnt this week.

1) People rarely change. If they do, it is not because they possess a more robust allocation of willpower than their fellow man, it is usually because the randomness of their existence has made it impossible for them to remain as they are and so, their inner Darwinian qualities are activated in an attempt to stave off stagnation or extinction.

2) Humans, by and large, are foolish. They love to wallow in pursuits of uselessness that have somehow managed to scroll to the top of their totem pole of importance. This isn't so much a critique of individuals but more of that gloomy specter we call society, for it demands us to be frivolous hedonists, cyber consumers in the race for ever more depraved ways of entertainment and sensory pleasure.

3) Fear can be lethal. right dosage prevents us from simply wasting away in last months underwear in a sea of disused Polystyrene containers & unwashed tea cups. The right dosage can push you through unchartered waters & into new experiences. The wrong dosage can leave you in paralysis, a state that some are unable to shake. Lethal.
