The Monday Morning Memo

Michael,

The only way to marry Invisible Heroes to Pendulum would be to use the stories of Invisible Heroes to demonstrate that the right thing to do is always the right thing to do regardless of whether we are in a WE or a ME. 

Most of our mistakes come from following the herd, peer pressure, trying to be “trendy.”

My friend Brian Brushwood says,
RESPECT is the echo of a right thing we have done in the past.
FAME is the echo of attention we have received in the past.

But fame does NOT mean we did the right thing. Fame is merely the echo of past attention. Derek Chauvin is a famous police officer.

We have to resist the trends within the cycles of ME and WE and do what is right, regardless of what other people expect, or pressure us to do.

If the “right” thing we do is on trend, we might get praise and fame, but that doesn’t make it any more “right.”

If the “right” thing we do is off-trend, we might be ignored or even criticized, but that doesn’t mean we did the wrong thing.

I hope this was helpful to you.

Roy

Random Quote:

“‘The Holy Church of Christ Without Christ’ is well-written and interesting. But in the end, Antonio García Martínez proved that he was doing exactly what he was mocking: “Tiger got to hunt, bird got to fly; Man got to sit and wonder ‘why, why, why?’ Tiger got to sleep, bird got to land; Man got to tell himself he understand.” -Kurt Vonnegut, Cat’s Cradle

It is obvious that he is an NT (intuitive thinker,) because he loves to work out the puzzle of things and then share what he believes he has learned. Like all of us, Antonio García Martínez ‘got to tell himself he understand.’ But again, the scope of the essay is worthy of the great philosophers and good brother Martínez does know how to condense big ideas into a tight economy of words. But having followed his thesis from beginning to end, the private experiences of my life convince me to continue to believe in Jesus.
