Pascal Auclair

It's an idea that brings fear.

It's an unpleasant idea.

It's something we love seeing.

It's something we find ugly.

So we're sensitive in a very, very...

nuanced way we're we're and so being sensitive as we are it makes total sense that when something is pleasant something heard you know somebody says something you want to hear you know oh dan you're so amazing pascal you're so it's amazing what you just did you know it feels good and so it's very natural that we would uh we would tend to favor that and that's where this verb comes in this very important verb clinging what is clinging it's kind of a

It means, you know, grasping.

It means being thirsty for.

So we want to see beautiful things.

We want them to stay.

We want to hear beautiful things.

It feels good.

And the way we're not so well made, I think, the way we're very defective human beings.

And, you know, I'm presenting all this and I would like the listener to really consider, is that true for me?

Is that true?

Do I recognize something?

I want us to bring our full intelligence here and check this out and just see for ourselves, do I recognize something in there or not?

And so what happens is when something beautiful happens, for us, the way our mind is kind of defective

is that instead of just rejoicing, you would think it would be obvious, you know, you would enjoy, appreciate, you know, get fed, nourished by beauty, you know, but often it's not what happens.

often what we do is we get a little uptight.
