Hello,
This week, I advise on how to change your view of the world in a positive way. I talk with Helen Joyce about the true tradition of women’s rights and the harsh reality of what women stand to lose today. From the archives, I discuss how to be optimistic without being naive.
Advice
Confront The Obstacle And Change Your View Of The World
You are not the chaos; you are not the plan. Maybe you are the thing that confronts the obstacle. You are what can confront the obstacle to the plan. And then when you know even further that the obstacle is not only an obstacle but opportunity itself, your whole view of the world can change.
Because you might think, “Well, I have this plan. Something came up to object to it.” It is possible that the thing that is objecting has something to teach you that will take you to the place where you develop an even better plan. It is a nice framework to use: “Are you so sure that this is a problem? Is that the only way you can look at it? Or is it an opportunity?”

Cain and Abel: The Hostile Brothers
Adam and Eve were made by God, and they were born in paradise. What kind of human beings are those? You do not know any human beings like that because humans are not born in paradise and made by God. Human beings are born of other human beings. That is the first thing, and it is post-Fall. We are out in the world. We are out in history now. We are not in some archetypal beyond—although we are still to some degree, but not to the degree that was the case with the story of Adam and Eve. We have already been thrown out of the Garden. We are already self-conscious. We are already awake. We are full-fledged human beings.
