Omg I loved that series - one of the more deep things I’ve read, at the time and possibly still since as well.

I particularly remember the gluttony example - it’s not about an amount of food so much as caring about food, more than Remember The Human i.e. the wait staff who brings it to you.

He definitely helped shape my personality, in caring about people over “rightness of stuff” - like if the toast isn’t perfect but good enough, now I’ll still tip.

There are just some things worth paying attention to, and everything else should kinda fade away into the background as being irrelevant.
