“Some choices are better than others and we, as mortal humans, cannot be expected to always choose the best ones. What we can control is how we evaluate past decisions. Our readiness to reflect and realize that we were wrong. Our ability to admit our wrongs and move forward. To say we are sorry or make amends for mistakes. To apply what we’ve learned from past follies and choose wiser in the present. I contend that in a random and often chaotic world of choices, that is what we can control.”

“We live in an age where people pride themselves on individualism and the concept of living authentically. The human race strives towards self-help and desires nothing if not constant self-improvement both inward and outward. So, I ask you, what can be more authentic than learning the truth? How can one form their unique self without first knowing more possibilities? How can a person truly strive for such grandiose dreams of self-improvement without the ability to listen to the advice and knowledge of others?”

“[...] But although Taub had no trouble questioning the received wisdom in neuroscience and harbored no doubts that he, an outsider from the lowly field of behavioral psychology, had the right to question neuroscience 'facts' dating back a century, it never dawned on him that using what were then (regrettably) not uncommon laboratory procedures would earn him a singular distinction: the first scientist ever charged with animal cruelty.”

“From the late 1800s to the late 1900s... science suggested that human beings are the direct byproduct of their own past. [...]
Research now shows that a person’s past does not drive or dictate their actions and behaviors. Rather, we are pulled forward by our future. [...]
From this view, [...] all human-action is goal-driven [or purpose-driven], even if the goal of the behavior isn’t consciously considered by the individual. [...]
There is always a why for everything someone does. That why is their reason or goal for what they’re doing. [...]
While [...] purpose may not [always] be conscious or inspiring, [a person's reason behind their behavior] still exists. Even if the goal is simply immediate gratification or escape, [as in the case of wasting time] on social media.”

“You were the seed and the leaf and the fruit.
You were the earth and you were the root.
You were the song in the echoing dark.
You were not the snake. You were never the rock.
You were the needle and bark, and you were the river.
You were not winter. You were fresh water.
You were not locked door or slammed door or rattle.
You were not metal. You were not empty bottle.
You were treetop and grassland and night sky and star.
Oh you were warm, you were rain, you were air.
You were the oak leaf and honey and clover
and you were forest and you were my mother.
You were the shore where no crocodiles are.
You were not wire. You were not wire.
- Monkey Writes a Poem About His Mother”
