Camilo - so much in here to relish and comment on. You know me, I’ll pick the wisdom most of the time.
“I wish you ample doses of pain and suffering, and the wisdom to know the difference between suffering from healthy pursuits versus becoming the architect of your misery.”
I loved the Buddha’s parable of the second arrow. I hadn’t read that before. Thank you.
When I got to your footnotes, I LOL, and couldn’t help but think that “I’m sorry, this concert is sold out” is the first arrow 😳
"We should endeavor to minimize the pain and suffering we bring to ourselves and others. Treating ourselves and others with kindness and grace. Managing our expectations and our inner monologue so that we are not ruminating and suffering needlessly." Thank you for putting it so well, Camilo.
I love your response to mental health vs mental toughness! I was not expecting us to be in the same side of the tik tok debate! So well said! I’m probably a little more harsh (just ban it already) but I found your points to all be well argued. Also, coincidence we both worked in data and share this opinion?!? I think not.
And also. Reading about mental toughness particularly is a topic of interest for me right now as I think about my daughter and how some most recent transitions have affected this little three year old. Resilience isn’t formed overnight and I struggle between trying to make sure she’s taken care of now and prepared for things to come. It’s a very hard balance mixed with mom guilt.
Also. Dragon Ball Z was such a huge part of my childhood as well. Memories flooded back to me with your incredibly accurate description of literally the same experiences I had as a kid.
Firstly, you must have never seen how long it takes me to pick a show on Netflix. Sheesh. And also, I am that ostrich.
I am proud of you for tackling what you did in this essay - life-giving vs chronic resiliency, politics, and life and death - and somehow managing to make me smile the whole way through. This essay felt like a news reel that was entertaining, informative, unbiased, and filled with comedic relief the whole way through. Like morning brew but less business-bro and more Camilo. This essay was a perfect representation of what people mean when they say, "the news doesn't have to be all drab and sad." I loved it, Camilo!!

Came here to say. Fuck your Ticketmaster.
