So that’s what has caused the fans on my MacBook Air to sound like a low-altitude Hercules flyover. That “129” is the % CPU column.
Imagine if we lived radically honest and naked lives.
We told the truth, all the time. We stopped dancing on eggshells. We eliminated secrets. We cut out the filters between our brains and our mouths.
Instead of a passive “no worries,” we tell our friend he pissed us off. We stop saying…
I tried this once. It lasted about a month and then my best friend and my sister were like “we need you to stop.” And actually, I think that’s pretty much what’s happened to everyone who’s ever tried it.

In Buddhism, even in lay practice, you cultivate the razor edge of wisdom with the warmth of universal compassion at the same time. One without the other is useless.
