See the Picture, Ignore the Clouds
Really? Have you thought about it?
A well-meaning friend (who is looking incredulous) let this question hang in the air, and my mind suddenly started a discourse.
Miffed, it said: Of course I thought about it. If I haven’t… this train of thought led me to thinking that “thinking” is actually the problem of most people. They overthink and end up not doing anything.
It’s as if the thinking itself paralyzes them. Makes them panic.
Of course one hundred and one things can go wrong, of course it might not go according to plan. Of course.
Of course people will say mean things, and some will even say I told you so. Of course.
But then some people’s roles are just that – irritants, devil’s advocates, thought provokers.
