I was unable to fall asleep so i went to take a midnight stroll around the apartment complex.i wasnt the only one,a pair of midnite swimmers were in the swimming pool but being discreet,i coughed politely and their shadows were indiscernible.
The supermoon is soft and luminous.the carved clay jar also illuminated the bushes.the only other night creature were cats waiting for their preys to jump on them.
After a round of the sprawling compound,i used the stairs to walk up to tire myself.then my midnite snack was the book altruism by matthieu ricard.in one part,he volunteer himself to medical researchers by having his brain scanned by MRI while meditating.different regions of the brain register empathy.when shown a distressful documentary of kids abused in a care facility,the toxic emotions registered as he reported an hour feeling of empathy dissociated from love and compassion led him to burnout
the research helps those whose profession consists of attending to suffering people on a daily basis to be trained in altruistic love an
d compassion. Im yawning.time for bed.this book is heavy going.
