My spirit. This is a new thought. I'm not sure exactly what it means, but it suggests I'm a fighter. In a sort of brave way. It's not as if I'm never friendly. OK, maybe I don't go around loving everybody I meet. Maybe my smiles are hard to come by, but I do care for some people.

 | 21:57 - alain de botton: status anxiety
In his "Discourse on the Origin of Inequality" Jean-Jacques Rousseau went on to sketch the history of the world not as a story of progress from barbarism to the great workshops and cities of Europe, but as one of regress away from a privileged state in which we lived simply but had the chance to sound out our needs, towards one where we were apt to feel envy for ways of life with few connections to our own characters. In technologically backward pre-history in Rousseau's state of nature, when men and women lived in forests and had never entered a shop or read a newspaper, the philosopher pictured people more easily understanding themselves, and so being drawn towards essential features of a satisfied life: a love of family, a respect for nature, an awe at the beauty of the universe, a curiosity about others, and a taste for music and simple entertainments. It was from this state that modern commercial "civilization" had pulled us, leaving us to envy and yearn and suffer in a world of plenty.

Ā, man šķiet, es sajukšu prātā! Grāmatu "Game of Thrones" nopirku jau divus mēnešus atpakaļ, bet nezinu kāpēc nevarēju saņemties sākt lasīt. Tagad paņēmu uz darbu, lai ir ko no rītiem un pusdienlaikā palasīties, un esmu vienkārši tā aizrāvusies! Un tieši tagad šajās divās nedēļās, kad man vispār nav laika nekam. Vienīgie brīži, kad varu lasīt, ir pusstunda pirms darba un kāda pusstunda pa vidam. Esmu jau saskatījusies Youtube seriāla treilerus, bet nosolījos sev nebojāt prieku, jaucot grāmatu ar vizuālo, tapēc sākumā jāpievar grāmata. Šodien uzdzinu rekordu, izlasīju pa diviem pārtraukumiem 100 lapaspuses. Nemaz neatceros ko pusdienās ēdu, tik zinu, ka jogurts pilēja gar muti uz džempera, kamēr urbos grāmatā. Un pēc pusdienām bija baigais bardaks, bija daudz jāskrien un jāgrābj, bet pamanījos kaut kādā milisekundē ieraudzīt galveno menedžeri, ar kuru kādu laiku atpakaļ runājāmies par GOT, un skrienot viņam garām, noelsties - the boooooook is amaaaaaziiiiiiing!!!!!
