Breaking out of Loops

Today I caught myself in a loop. Being in a loop isn't unusual, I fall into them all of the time. The unusual part is that I realised what I was doing, and applied sufficient willpower to escape. I'm going to try to foster this behavior. Maybe keep a tally of loop-escapes. It can be fun! And it's a positive framework to approach not wasting time under.

I Love America

America is my home. My family, close and extended, lives here. My friends, recent and past, live here. My life, now and for the foreseeable future, lives here. Whenever I think of America, I am happy.

America gives me opportunities. The schools that I've been through, the jobs I've had, my careers in the rest of my life, are here. Whenever I think of America, I am grateful.

America is ethical, when graded on a scale. We don't start wars, we make sure the Nazis and the Stalinists don't win them. We have a rule of law, we have rights, and we have a system which can outweigh any individual trying to take control. Whenever I think of America, I am proud*.

America is the home of some of the most impressive developments in science and technology. English is the common language of the world, and it's not because of England. Cars and computers and internet, physics and bilogy and computer science and mathematics. Whenever I think of America, I am proud.

Thank you, America.
