Justice? Just is?

Allison Mack — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 05:49:06 +0000

This is something that I really struggle with. I would like to hold an altruistic view, a belief and a way of living that truly upholds humanity in every moment. But the truth is, sometimes it feels really good to punish. Sometimes it feels really good to think that “justice has been served!”

Not exactly a humanist approach and not exactly compassion-based or humanitarian. Now to think of justice, to think that justice is more than merely a way to “justify” or feel better about punishment we seek to play out is, in my opinion of course, to simply disregard an objective viewpoint of the way you are living your life. I feel that many of you nailed it on the head when you discussed the concept that everyone’s perception of right, wrong and equal is different. I do believe in consequence and I believe in karmic justice.

I believe that living with the knowledge of you and the way you conduct your life is truly the only justice we have that is not tainted by some inhumane twist on reality. Given this thought I also believe that punishment reinforces the need for punishment, and that we do indeed live in a world that has spawned this viscous cycle. So to get out of it would take patience and time. Both things I am not sure I have.

But to conceptualize the idea is indeed the first step. To recognize the times in our own lives when we seek for “justice to be served,” when we enforce prejudice against the prejudiced, and to consciously choose another direction. To re-arrange our patterned habits and replace them with habits of compassion and patience.

That is truly the purpose and task of my life. Oye…heady and heavy handed. Sorry guys, it is raining and I am feeling maudlin.

On a lighter note! A new mack event!
My friends and I picked up a book on a little vacation and it was filled with 6 word autobiographies.
Your life story in 6 words! GO!

Pinchin’ Hazard

Always read the signage.
It rarely leads you astray.
Unless it does.
And then it’s your own fault for paying attention.

Post some funny signage if you see it! Trust me it is everywhere!

The other day, Tabby and I were going down to Seattle and my credit card was rejected at the gas station. The little sign read: “Invalid Loyalties.” What? How random!

The Cookie Lady

Allison Mack — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 05:59:05 +0000

Meet “The Cookie Lady.” Hair as red as my best friend Jenny’s face when we used to talk about the boys she loved in 6th grade. A rip in her matching red dress that ever-so-delicately held itself together on her right bosom.

“The Cookie Lady.”

Speaking in a tone that sounded like she was going to rip someone’s face off if they continued to breathe at that irrational and inappropriate level, but saying words that couldn’t contradict the sentiment more.

“The Cookie Lady.”

A woman who tracks the people who do nice things for her and spends countless hours baking love into bars and cookies.

An inspirational character.

I would like to take a lesson from “The Cookie Lady.”

For my next MackEvent, I think we should all bake a box of cookies for someone who has done something nice for us and leave it, unsuspecting, on their doorstep.

Document yourself during the process and share it with me!

“The Cookie Lady.”

MackEvent: Joy!

Allison Mack — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 07:45:49 +0000

Hey all!!!

I know you must have thought that I dropped off the face of the earth because you have not heard from me in so long… but HOORAY! I am not dead! In fact, I am very much alive!
And, I want to send out the next celebration event!!!

This week, I am trying to focus on joy!

Again, I seem to find myself getting totally stuck in the negative, and I forget how amazing and beautiful the world is! So this week, let’s try and collect joy. Collect moments that you find joyful and document them! Submit your photos to mackevents@allisonmack.com, or post your written responses or YouTube links here in this entry as a comment.

Harness joy. Whether it is the sound of it or a picture or a movie, go out and seek joy!!

xoxo
Allison

Mack Event: Build a fort

Allison Mack — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 08:16:28 +0000

Remember when you used to turn the coffee table upside down and line it with pillows only to drape the whole thing with a sheet or a blanket and hide out all day in your secret fort?

Wasn’t that the coolest thing ever? Let’s revisit!

Everyone build a fort and send me the pics/specs of what you construct!!
