Reflections on Reflections
Just a forewarning that it could just be the cabin fever talking but here I am, getting meta on reflections. (Or you know, I could just take everything in my head, toss it into a blender, and see what sticks to this keyboard. Through a filter of course...otherwise, you could just end up with a pile of internet memes). This probably won't make a lot of sense anyway, so don't try too hard if it doesn't make sense, as that is not the primary goal.
With the snowstorm afoot, there is suddenly a lot more time available for reflections, thoughts and musings. While I'm ordinarily most eager to jump on that bandwagon, as of late, I have found that it does not ease the antsyness? Unease? Something. Or perhaps, there is something in the air this December that seems to be affecting everyone. There is certainly no shortage of drama, sickness and shenanigans this holiday season. Relationships, world views, and health are all not immune. Could also be probability finally catching up.
For me at least, I find myself asking "Why?" a lot more frequently in the more recent times. I am less interested in second guessing myself and playing the "what if" game, but more interested in just how I got there. Motivations. Reasons. Events. People. Reflection. Of course, asking the "Why?" question from the perspective others, is an exercise in futility. One could argue that it is indeed a source of unease.
Decisions. Words. Actions. All 20/20 hindsight, but what I (or anyone for that matter) wouldn't give for a better pair of glasses for the other direction that matters. Sometimes you just got to aggro the mob and hope you can take 'em. But if you first consult the SMEs, you may be doing yourself a favor.
Oh, what a complex web we weave.
