Via negativa and valuable stuff

It’s easy to want to cut damaging, harmful things out of your life. Difficult to do, usually. But easy to pick these things to prune away.

Harder, though, is to prune away the good in favor of the greater good.

Perhaps this is where the payoff is. You have many wonderful ideas. Just pick one.

Actually there is some truth in both approaches.

  • Stop doing stupid shit.
  • See your assets as carrying hidden liabilities.

Apply via negativa liberally to both.
