hard heads soft hearts

a scratch pad for half-formed thoughts by a liberal political junkie who's nobody special. ''Hard Heads, Soft Hearts'' is the title of a book by Princeton economist Alan Blinder, and tends to be a favorite motto of neoliberals, especially liberal economists.

Their perspectives, grounded and candid, make clear that the story of Tamils in post-war Sri Lanka is one of persisting challenges and many gulfs — between the national government and Tamil community, the Tamil political class and the people, the Tamil diaspora, their select beneficiaries receiving remittances, and most others outside those networks, struggling to make ends meet.

How Much Dull Routine Of Existence Does A Man Require?

My current answer:

 

1. waking up

2. morning session

3. morning rest

4. midday / afternoon session

5. evening rest

6. evening session

7. winding down

8. falling asleep

 

Any of the sessions can be optional, perhaps especially the morning and evening ones.

 

In terms of time (maybe):

 

morning session: pre-dawn / morning / midday

midday / afternoon session: morning / midday / afternoon / evening

evening session: afternoon / evening / night
