I have a special relationship with a tree. I use that word,’relationship,’ very carefully. The tree in question is a vast, centuries-old chestnut #tree and it dwarfs everything nearby. My four-year-old son has taken to calling it ‘Our Guardian Tree,’ because we say it’ll protect him from bad dreams, and so far it has. When I find myself suffocating inside my head, I will often attend Our Guardian Tree. It’ll usually push its roots inside my densely packed thoughts and loosen the soil a bit. That word, ‘attending,’ is not a common one. And when the philosopher Iris #Murdoch says ‘attending to things,’ it’s different to simply seeing them. Murdoch refers to it as a ‘just and loving gaze’ that involves a kind of unselfing. When you attend to something, you leave behind your own life and your own problems to reorientate yourself entirely to focus on what’s in front of you. No roaming eyes or cheeky glances at your phone. Attending is undistracted focus. It’s a kind of gift. It’s that sounds a lot like #Love; it’s not without cause. Because Murdoch believes that attending to someone is the first step to loving them. In a recent essay I wrote in collaboration with Commune, I explore how far we can attend to things. Yes, we attend our loved ones, but we can also attend the #natural world. To love a tree is an odd thing to say, and that’s because we don’t talk like that anymore. We don’t #animate the world, and we don’t ensoul it. And in my opinion, I think we’re much worse off because of it. #philosophy #phenomenology #relationships #nature #getoutdoors

There's something wrong with all of us. Even if you try to live a faultless, blameless, and #perfect life, there'll always be some way, however small, to criticize you. You might be a loving daughter or son, but you probably don't call your dad as much as you should. You might be an honest kind of sort, but I bet you've told a lie or two in your time. No one is perfect.  According to the #Stoic Seneca, the point of life is not to be perfect, but to become better. It's not to be faultless, but to iron out our faults. You are not a god and you are not the finished item. There is still work to be done.  The Stoics were a big fan of #reflection and preparation, and each morning they would reflect on their lives and prepare the ways in which they could become better. Each night they would reflect on the ways that they had fallen short and the way they could become better still.  In the words of Seneca, ‘I am not a #wise man, nor shall I ever be, and so require not from me that I should be equal to the best, but that I should be better than the wicked. It is enough for me if, every day, I reduce the number of my vices and blame my #mistakes .’  For #Seneca, and #Stoicism more broadly, we shouldn't see ourselves as wonders of the world, but rather a work in progress. Every day is another brick in the wall and a step along our journey. As Seneca put it, ‘It takes an age to build a city, and a forest is a long time growing.’ Our characters are no different. #growth #selfimprovement #philosophy #dobetter
