Good afternoon,
How Do You See the World?
This edition was originally published June 23, 2018. I've recently (August 2) become aware of some detail errors in it, so this is a corrected version of the June 23 letter.
Here's
Julio Olalla In a TED Talk about
observation vs. fact. He makes some very important points about the external world, where we produce things, and the internal world where we care, where we feel, where we sense. Which one do you see most clearly?
Two completely different views of the same reality. The producers, the wealth-builders, think that everything's great because we have more "stuff". At the same time depression and even suicide, especially among young people, are at all-time highs.
All our gains in productivity and physical wealth have made us no richer in terms of what matters to the
internal person -
- The spiritual - seeing sacredness in "everydayness"
- The emotional - sadness, gratitude, care, courage, what drives us to act
Julio has great insight into the differences between internal and external views of the world. He makes the point very convincingly that we'd be better off to pay more attention to the internal world. I highly recommend you give him a good listen. Maybe two or three times!
If you're as impatient as I am, I think you can get the gist of the talk starting at the 2:50 minute point of his 17-minute presentation. Once you get into the meat of it, you won't want to stop listening!
Have a great day!
