Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction unplugged because we will always say
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes,
so turn it into a tool. This is Arrow unplugged.
I really do want to know what goes through a
person's mind in the moments before they set aside. What
is right to participate with a physical act of theft.
Is it a sense of confidence or fear? What becomes
the action due to a need to survive? More importantly,
why do I feel enormous pain when falling witness to
a theft? Research shows that committing the crime is living
off their dopamine. It causes pleasurable feelings. It's the brain's
opioid system. People steal out of a need, pere pressure,
and psychological disorders. As for my emotions, the act of
other people stealing violates trust. It's completely one hundred percent
natural to become angry or hurt when falling witness to
a theft. The saddest part about the theft is how
every group is doing it, from young to old, rich
to poor. Everybody is doing it. My next question is
how do they feel when they bite into that pizza
that they just swiped? Hey? Tarrow This is the Daily Mess,
a chronological walkthrough in everyday world. I am a daily writer.
I am affected, just like everybody else. I'm just willing
to talk about it, to start the conversation, maybe to
help heal in other people's silences. This is the daily mess.
Three back to back days of springtime rain. Seeking the
path that leads towards something positive mindsets and mood swings,
careful decisions and planning. But what's waiting for us in
the public? How does the weather affect other people? Being
present and mindful may work for me, but what about
those that we meet along the way. That's why we've
got to be aware. Awareness is key to everything. Personally speaking,
I treat every encounter like approaching a dog. Don't ever
assume that the person you're walking up to is going
to accept you. There's always a chance they're gonna bite.
My goal is not to provoke them, but it's to
lean into my own walk and way without letting their
instant storms spoil my process. Your greatest friend can instantly
become your worst enemy. Patience practicing is an essential tool.
If you're feeling uneasy due to three days of rain,
know in your heart there's a lot of other people
that feel the same. We talk about awareness a lot.
Awareness is that one thing that we were taught as
martial artists. You don't go where the fight is. You
become aware of where it is and you walk around it.
The same is true about our everyday walk. You know
where the tough spots are. Don't try to be the superhero.
See the moment, decide in your moment. Nope, I'm going
this way instead because I'm going to protect my heart.
I know how I'm going to react if I get
involved with that. My father was adamant about that. Oh
he would always say, do not be with that group
of people, Dad, they're my friends. I said, do not.
What he saw was that there was probably going to
be trouble. And you know what, one hundred percent of
the time, my father was right. And then I sat
there in my bedroom going, why did I just listen
to the dude? Because he's lived this life before me,
he knows any new and to this day, in his spirit,
he's always tapping me on the shoulder. Dude, Dude, dude,
I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't do it. So when
you have days where there's three days or more of rain,
the weather isn't perfect, and even when it's too hot
outside and you are questioning your steps because you just
don't feel right on the end inside no through awareness
that you're not alone, your best friend could easily become
your worst enemy. I'm ERL and that's the daily mess.
