READY, FIRE, AIM

Thursday Nov. 9, 2017

Life seems to be one of these:

#1 - The art of pleasing each other – pleasing friends, family, lovers, customers, neighbours (and readers too) is no accident. Happens on purpose.

#2 - The art of not-pleasing each other is no art form at all; it is accident, it is purposelessness, it is apathy, it is ignoring and it is ignorance, it is not caring, it is not caring to care, not daring to care or not caring to dare – it is all these things.

In every one of us, in every situation – we are one, or the other. You better believe it shows. In everything we do. If we took a little focus off all our many distractions and with each encounter tried some #1 …

Are we aiming to please, or not aiming at all?
