This website is a personal project for self development. I am working on it for myself, but you are welcome to view it. Recently I started to post once a week, on Mondays. Perhaps I will some day turn it into something more oriented to helping others. Maybe you'll even find it helpful in the mean time.
In May of last year I was discussing my difficulties with a friend, and we began discussing "life" in the sense of barely scraping by (I am still alive) vs "life qua man". You see, multiple times in the last few years I have gotten so worried that I wouldn't be able to buy food or pay for basic utilities that I got motivated to do something about it. The problem is, I seem to need a lot of pressure on me to get me off my ass to work on something. I'm not the type to sit in front of the TV and do nothing. I am interested in things, but I don't always focus on getting done things that I need to get done. I tend to focus on what I find interesting.
This Life Qua Man concept is what prompted the title of this website. What is "life qua man"? It's not a very well defined term, but it certainly doesn't involve being worried about basic animal survival on a regular basis.
Life Qua Man relates to having a life that is worthy of a human being.
My Musings are thoughts I have had related to the concept of Life Qua Man. Many times they are advice to myself.
I'm not sure how many (if any) people look at this website besides me, but if you would like to contact me for some reason, you can send an email to jongalt@lifequaman.org.
