Before the industrial revolution humans got enough physical exercises in their daily routines without needing extra workouts or diets, which are signs of unnatural design for the modern environment and activities.
Should our cities be centered around driveways for cars, or walking/biking lanes with public transports?
Why are we sitting in front of stationary devices instead of walking around manipulating objects for work?
At the beginning of a movie I was watching there was a scene of someone who received a surprise layoff and, after being escorted outside the office building, did not seem to have any idea what to do.
(I don’t know what happened to that character at this moment of writing as I have yet to continue with the movie.)
Which prompted me to ponder: when at last we leave our jobs, what has to be left behind and what we can bring with us? Thinking ahead of this eventuality can clarify our priority about what is really important: titles and positions we hold, colleagues/collaborators we interacted with, experiences we learned, products we built, achievements we accomplished, etc.
Now, replace job with life, and think again.
I smelled dog poop when watering plants outside tonight, but it was too dark to spot the source.
Waiting until the next morning can provide better visibility, but then the smell may have dried out.
When an idea is considered too dangerous to even talk about it is a sign that it hits some nerves.
I like this cute drawing by my niece of her father (my brother).

Unlike most people, buying a new car did not trigger any excitement (or any form of emotion) in my mind, and the decision was based on technology and economics (no emission, available supply, high benefit-to-cost ratio, no middleman).
I like to walk in a cemetery; it feels serene, solemn, and prompts me to ponder life from a different perspective.
