…the house I live in…

A journal of life pursued

“What’ya doin?”

Facebook--the pull to the void.
Facebook–the pull to the void.

“What’ya doin?”

“I’m on Facebook.”

“Sure you want to be doin’ that? You’ve been staring at your laptop for a couple hours.”

“My life is being eaten up with this crap.”

“Thoreau said, ‘Our inventions are…but improved means to an unimproved end.’

“I would like that, ‘improved means to an unimproved end’ if it didn’t strike so close to home.”

“And ring so true.”

With an undergraduate degree in Religion and Philosophy, complimented with graduate work in the History of Ideas, Doug has spent his life chasing some of life’s big questions. As a result he has delved deeply into wisdom traditions both ancient and modern, including the philosophical schools of Existentialism, Pragmatism, and Stoicism; he has also explored several of the Eastern traditions, principally Zen Buddhism and Taoism. Admittedly, he is no expert on anything, being a simple pilgrim.

I welcome your comments. Thanks for reading.
