I’ve been silent on this newsletter for a while. There are some personal reasons (all of which are in decent places now). But let’s focus on the matter or matters that matter or matters for you.

A few questions keep coming up, as they always do whenever I write on a public platform:

1. What is the point of the project?
2. Why should others care?
3. What should they hope to take away?

I’m hesitant to call this newsletter purely personal, though it’s undeniably personal in nature. But I like to think I share myself in a way that some–but not all–people can relate to, and find a takeaway or two. These hopes are the best themes I can find for this newsletter.

So, if you never know what to expect as far as topics go, what can you expect as a common thread?

Here are a few things I’ve come up with:

1. An acknowledgement that little in life is black and white, as we all live in the grey all day, every day; ambiguity is a feature, not a bug, of the world around us.
2. A realization that there are few absolutes in life; and, somewhat related:
3. An understanding that asking the right questions is far more important than the need to have all the answers.

Where the hell will this framework take us? No idea. The path will be meander, but I think it’s bound to take us somewhere good in the end, if only we’re patient enough.

P.S. If you’re interested in the title of this edition, you’ll find the answers on a short video.
