Had to share this. Sometimes I feel like I’m an island unto myself – a “stranger in a strange land”.

I try to see the good in other people. I try to “give by praising all the good I see”. Sometimes that’s an intricate tattoo on a store clerk, and sometimes it’s a pair of earrings on an old acquaintance.

Lately I have felt detached from my best self. Is it sleep deprivation? Is it the grind of the dark, bleak world? Maybe my flame has diminished, but there’s got to be a way to get it more oxygen- to breathe more life into it.

    Partly unrelated, but have you read Heinlein’s novel Stranger in a Strange Land? It was pivotal to me some eight years ago, and today I’m wondering whether I should revisit it. The problem is, I still absolutely hate Heinlein…

      I haven’t! It’s on my to be read book. I think I’ll have to move it up the list since it was so pivotal for you. Hearing that a work moves another person makes me want to examine it.

        Go for it, then. 😀 In my opinion, Stranger in a Strange Land is just about Heinlein’s best – far better than Starship Troopers and that moon thing, and miles above his silly Cat Who Walks Through Walls. Yes, I hate him, but I can’t stop reading his books…

        Just curious, why do you hate him? He seems to be one of those people where there’s no in between. One of my friends is obsessed with Starship Troopers, so I guess I hear more love for him than hate.

        He does the thing I believe a writer should avoid when at all possible: he inserts himself into the story. And he does it in very obnoxious ways. 😀 All his disagreeable views aside (I don’t necessarily blame him for those) I forget if he does anything else hateworthy. Maybe that’s why I should re-read Stranger in a Strange Land – to remind myself why I hate him. Which Heinlein books have you read, if any?

        I’ve only read his book on writing and books about him. I do want to read some of his fiction. After reading more about him, it makes sense why my friend likes him so much: free love and being responsible to our fellow man seem to be pervasive themes. 🤣

    I really liked it there and you know I feel the same that positive vibe uplifts a person. It is an amazing vibe and is definitely inspiring. My latest post is on positive vibe as well where I have explained how to identify positive vibes from a person and given three quick life tips and the second one will shock you up.
