The Rational Faculty
We have all been given the advice to act rationally and make decisions based on logic without emotion. Unfortunately, this advice sees humans in an overly optimistic light. We are ALL emotional and primarily operate within our preconceived biases, prejudices, limited perceptions (ALL of which are rooted in emotion). Not every decision is so simple or black and white. Thinking and reasoning are required.Making decisions without the rational faculty makes us take our emotions literally, and act impulsively.The key is understanding how to use emotion and rationality. Buddhism sees both emotion and logic as equally illusory (this is impractical for everyday use in civilized society), while Stoicism seeks to replace logic with emotion (Zen would see this as just as much a mistake to operate on emotions exclusively).The reality is that both logic and emotion are part of our reality and rather than choosing sides, use them harmoniously to direct you.

Walking On Water
It seems as though it's nearly impossible to go online these days without the inclination to start comparing yourself and your lifestyle to others. It’s almost as if our society has become a never-ending cycle of one-upmanship and we struggle to keep up, no matter how much good there is in our lives. There’s always someone who looks happier or more successful on their social media than we feel in that moment. Or who seems to be more "spiritually evolved" (whatever that means) as they take a filtered picture of their yoga pose from this morning and reciting some quotes from Maya Angelou. How do we stop comparing ourselves to others? Tune into this episode and find out!
