We are experts at ‘hindsight’ and lousy at forethought!

I recall once reading that the RHCP Vocalist said that he & Flea got together with George Clinton & they all juggled around Musical Ideas, Anthony then really liked some particular Idea, & then George told him: “Ah, go ahead & use it. Chances are I probably stole it from somewhere else myself, haha!”

Pattern recognition has me feeling that urgency. If it keeps on like this, that urgency will have good reason. If I feel this, imagine how the seriously mentally ill are feeling. I’m kinda on the cusp of madness at all times. Don’t push me, I might just fall in.

“Long term thinking ability” refers to the cognitive skill of being able to consider and plan for future consequences of current actions, essentially looking beyond the immediate present to envision and work towards a desired future outcome, making decisions based on potential long-term impacts rather than just short-term gains.

Key aspects of long term thinking ability:

Visionary perspective: The ability to see a bigger picture and imagine possible future scenarios.

Strategic planning: Deliberately considering different pathways and choices to achieve long-term goals.

Future-oriented decision making: Evaluating current actions based on how they might affect the future.

Resilience and patience: Understanding that achieving long-term goals may require sustained effort over time.

Risk assessment: Identifying potential challenges and obstacles that could impact future plans.

Getting pregnant isn’t easy. It’s actually difficult enough to where a woman can’t get pregnant without some forethought and preplanning being put into it. After all, a woman is only fertile for 7 days out of the month. Women trying to deflect the responsibility of pregnancy onto men is bullshit. Take agency over your own body. If you don’t want to get pregnant, you only have to avoid having sexual intercourse for 7 days out of every month.

- What kind of business are you buying from?
- Are the employees treated fairly?
- Are the products made ethically?
- Are the products shipped in an environmentally responsible manner?

When you buy clothes, what happens next?

The Serene Smile

‘The serene smile’

Where it goes

Must be a brainless question

Or put together

With all manipulation

It’s a long mile

In the middle of empty road

All the movements

Still blur;

Forethought

Or an impulse

Feels like I’m stuck

Increased pulse

Now that you’re around;

It’s all still

Still like the air

in summer,

Still like the tree

Air free,

Still like the bridge

'till tremor,

Still like the weather

Before storm;

Absurd we miss the season

Everytime it passed

Loving present seems easy

But hard

Like those season

You’re as you are

May be you’ll find a reason

Or not

But in coming times

I know

I’ll be longing for old days

In similar ways

You’re, My dear

Like the cool wind

Shook all the branches

Let the old leaves fall

Wipe the floor

And put together

Lit the match to it

Let it burn

Soon it’s ash

Gray and few

Let the wind blew

And bring new

Some true

'cause

My serenity comes with you
