A zen student asked his master: “Is it okay to use email?” “Yes”, replied the master, “but with no attachments.”

“All men and all women are philosophers. If they are not conscious of having philosophical problems, they have, at any rate, philosophical prejudices. Most of these are theories which they take for granted: they have absorbed them from their intellectual environment or from tradition.

Since few of these theories are consciously held, they are prejudices in the sense that they are held without critical examination, even though they may be of great importance for the practical actions of people, and for their whole life.

It is an apology for the existence of professional philosophy that men are needed to examine critically these widespread and influential theories.

Theories like these are the insecure starting point of all science and of all philosophy. All philosophy must start from the dubious and often pernicious views of uncritical common sense. Its aim is to reach enlightened, critical common sense: to reach a view nearer to the truth; and with a less pernicious influence on human life.”

Karl Popper, 'In Search of a Better World'.

Two hundred years ago, English poet William Wordsworth bemoaned man's preoccupation with the material world and our lost connection to nature and what truly matters. Can you relate? We are so attuned to the rhythms of social and daily commerce around us that new realities normalize and we settle for them. Even when they aren't remotely acceptable.

“The so-called paradox of freedom is the argument that freedom in the sense of absence of any constraining control must lead to very great restraint, since it makes the bully free to enslave the meek."

There is no person so severely punished, as those who subject themselves to the whip of their own remorse.

People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.

Frog in a well

Used to describe a situation or individual who cannot or refuses to see the big picture because of being sheltered and/or closed minded. This is the opposite of a frog in a field.

... supposably

It actually is a word: capable of being conjectured or imagined.

This word was popularized in an episode of Friends in the second season.
Did they go to the zoo?
