A Year of Contemplation

What’s Better Left Unsaid (Day 53)

2/22/2019

​I’m definitely guilty of opening my mouth and allowing my ego to “cut line” in front of my good sense, and that is, for the most part, the overall theme of today’s contemplation: 

Pause and Think. Then act. 

This is great advice… if you’re the kind of person prone to easy action, and jumping into things with both feet. 

What about for the folx who are on the other extreme of this equation? The folx who are the over-thinkers, the ones who get lost in “patience and preparation”... to those folx, this lesson affirms their inaction, creating in them a sense of idiot-virtue. 

There is no “one cure” for all ailments, and there’s no room for ego and desire in the curing process… 

… but maybe that, too, is better left unsaid. 

(See y’all tomorrow)
