#Theweekthatwas @ 10/05/2026
A sobering, emotionally heavy week had many lessons and reminders:
Death is a stark reminder of our ultimate destination
If everything is important, then nothing is important
When we seek ease in everything we do, then we're missing the point
Pondering on death is a sure way to soften the heart
Preparation for a loved one's death can never prepare you for their death
"A good reputation is an invisible fortune", Kaicho Tadashi Nakamura
Your reputation forms a part your children's inheritance and thus, your legacy
Aura is not defined by your loudness, your physique or your wealth; it is defined by your character
Family is the space where you're safe to just be you - with all your warts, worries and weirdness
Grief is a phased but non-linear process
Acceptance and pain are mutually exclusive entities
Sometimes you immediately know when you've witnessed greatness, most times you only see it after the fact
