What is Work?

What is work? Stuff I avoid. I think perhaps unsuccessfully. What we feel obliged to do. A task that can be accomplished. Work = force x distance. That’s the basic equation. I’m thinking of Hannah Arendt. She defines labor as something you have to do over and over like cleaning the house. But work, you…

Denial as Selective Focus

Let’s explore that concept of denial as selective focus. If we see selection as denial, it leads to the notion of their being a single outcome does it not?

Avoidance Behaviour

Perhaps another question. What do you most fear? Isolation. Anyone else? I myself most fear confusion. I fear being alone. I fear a wasted effort. Pain.

Work with Fear of the Consequences
