Join 📚 Armand's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Armand's read, .
I asked Kate to grab some Motrin and anything she thought might be helpful from John Metz. And when she was gone, my body continued to decline. My stomach rumbled and when I looked down I saw bloody piss leak down my leg. I shit myself too. Liquefied diarrhea rose in the space between my ass and a lawn chair that would never be quite the same again. Worse, I had to hide it because I knew if Kate saw how bad off I really was she would beg me to pull out of the race. I’d run seventy miles in twelve hours with no training, and this was my reward.
Can't Hurt Me
David Goggins
I have at times altered these translations, occasionally to make something clearer and often to remove the gender specific he/his, for which I have substituted one/one’s—the Pali is simply third person singular and literally could be he, she, or one. Since this book is written for a general audience, not a male monastic one, and given the centuries of misogynist patriarchy in Buddhism, I am unwilling to write in a way that gives any credence to that particular misunderstanding of the Buddha’s teachings.
