NEVER LANGUISHING

History is such an advantage. It's like having a window into the past showing consequences. People will mine them looking for trends.  Intelligent minds will see what is obvious and looking behind the curtain.What other influences were in play? History reminds us constantly, nothing is static. Physics reminds us everything, including us is an a constant state of motion. Then, some of us break off probing the nature of consciousness in the infinitiy of space because we can. It isn't a question everyone jumps into. The world we live in shows us the reality of diversity.  One might be more important in a moment but then be replaced in the next.  Just because we have a defined history, our window is more expansive than that of most individuals.  We are not superior in any way, but we have access to an unusual point of view (POV). What it tells us depends on what questions we are asking.You'd be right to remind us if we had a capacity to predict, we would be cashing winning betting slips at the racetrack.  Even with the advantage of history, someone needs to weigh current information.  Roll of the dice. Our lives have qualities that are different than random selection.  The difference is in the mind of the beholder.  Think of it as a continuous source of preference- an. on-going filter pushing all else aside to leave me with my opinions for my reasons. It sounds churlish I know but you take my point. If only everyone thought like us? That would be frightening. We would accomplish less than we do now. We live and think in this soup of impressions and thoughts. We have studied the process for thousands of years and agreed, it is the primary part of our narrative to be oriented in that cocktail. It can be overwhelming 'see' everything in motion.  The path behind looks different. The path ahead changes in the blink of an eye. And here we are, with an ability to create a sense of stability. Amazing.
