Wisdom

     Wisdom is where you find it...whatever that means. MJV sent me three Richard Osman murder mysteries. Four residents in an English Old Folk’s home form a Thursday Murder Club. They’re not out to commit murders. Rather they try to solve murders that have stumped the police. When MJV sent me the books she said that they’re reading just for fun. After reading the first one The Thursday Murder Club, I’m well into the second, The Man Who Died Twice.

    One member of the club is a retired psychiatrist who offers up some wisdom to Donna, a police officer who has been cooperating with the club. The psychiatrist, Ibrahim, says “Loneliness is hard Donna. It’s one of the big ones.” p. 254. Wisdom appears in reading for fun.

   Loneliness is indeed hard. It is the condition of fully, functioning adults. Life is lonely because healthy adults take responsibility for themselves rather than pushing it off on someone else. This is not the loneliness of being without family or friends. It’s the condition of differentiated adults who accept personal responsibility.

" If you’re anticipating a caveat or qualifier, you’re as out of luck as the FTX investors whose money SBF allegedly lost. “I’m addicted to reading,” a journalist said to the erstwhile multibillionaire in a recently resurfaced interview. “Oh, yeah?” SBF replied. “I would never read a book.”" Washington Post

SBF is Sam Bankman-Fried who presided over the bankrupcy of FTX.
