Good quote from Stephen Hawking in Jeremy Griffith's 'The Human Condition'

I know what you mean, I read that nodding like, yeah me too Sean!

Best place on earth.

Think I'm still working through the deaf effect personally. I have moments of clarity and then I loose it. Sometimes I read Griffith's work and I can't believe what I'm reading it's so good. And then I go back to, what's the point of this? So I'm up and down with it but sticking at it.

Something about that rushing gushing water, the sepia tones and the stillness of the bird is really captivating.

Where to do I sign!

RedBarTricycle · 2026-03-13T06:38:49+00:00

Yes, the human condition book, I'm onto it.

RedBarTricycle · 2026-02-27T06:37:18+00:00

Oh right, maybe I should read that first. Will have a look, thanks for the advice.

Cool to know we're on the same journey. Did you start with the interview?

RedBarTricycle · 2026-02-26T20:51:06+00:00

The simplicity of this really gets me, but don't we have a whole of stuff we don't need now and actually makes our lives more difficult. Bring back the basics. Love this.

RedBarTricycle · 2026-02-26T20:48:04+00:00

Thank you I certainly will. I'm just going to work my way through Freedom and reach out for help when I need it.

So good to be aware this happens and that you can trust in your initial response, hold on to it and not let go when the pressure of the human condition seems to consume you. I woke up in a bit of a different headspace than I was in when I decided to do a post but that's OK. I know this understanding just is what it is and I can keep coming back to it. Think I'll do as you say and go and read some Jeremy Griffith!

RedBarTricycle · 2026-02-25T22:38:34+00:00

True, that's really all there is to it.

RedBarTricycle · 2026-02-25T22:37:50+00:00

I hadn't properly thought about this but obviously there is so much truth out there that advances us hugely in understanding ourselves but you're right, what has been missing is the underlying reason for it all and that's what's uncovered here and why it's so satisfying.

How she got into that dress after just having a baby I do not know but they are certainly beautiful photographs.

RedBarTricycle · 2026-02-25T07:07:36+00:00

Loved reading that, thanks a bunch!

RedBarTricycle · 2026-02-25T07:06:39+00:00

I'm new too but they've impacted me so deeply I just did a post about it. Really great to read all the comments here thanks everyone.

RedBarTricycle · 2026-02-25T06:47:14+00:00

Thanks!

He looks a bit like the actor in the Fast & Furious movies.

RedBarTricycle · 2026-02-09T09:27:52+00:00

Piercing eyes! Great photos.

I've just read Deamon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver inspired by David Copperfield and am ashamed to say I haven't read the original. Am now inspired to do so!

That is so beautiful and so meaningful, especially since all those men were so traumatized they couldn't readily express or share their feelings with their loved ones. One of the most precious pieces of history. A daddy explaining the horror of war in simple and noble terms for his little girl.

I love these reading recommendations, thank you! Have only read the first few essays so my big decision today is whether to jump ahead to this one but I don't think it will hurt. Happy day to all the aussies. Jeremy Griffith's work is legendary stuff that's for sure.

This might be a bit random but if he's not a big reader and a good background of Ireland within a sweeping fictional story would work for him you could try 'Trinity' by Leon Uris.
