How often do we take what we read or hear as fact?
How often do we adhere to theories without considering both sides?
How often might memory and judgment be out of balance with reality?
Why are we taught to think for ourselves?
Lots to reconsider
For example:
It's not about you; it's about them.
Well—what if 'it's' about you, both?
Men are logical; women are emotional.
When their team is losing, big time?
When their team loses, period!
Funny how often I hear anger beating war drums.
Funny, how rarely I hear: Win some, lose some, no problem.
Funny how easily I'd tolerated tension when standing up for others
Not funny that I couldn't tolerate tension, directed at me ...
As in
When doth it be smart to confront rather than conform?
When doth it be smart to recognize mixed messages messing with thy mind?
When doth it be wise to question whose voice fills thy head, most often?
What is thee to do
When thee comes to see
That thee has been following rules
Which no longer fit the person thee has grown to be?
What is one to do
When necessary changes
Lead to conflict
And tension must be tolerated—all around?
Lots to reconsider
Thank goodness for Walden Pond
Where upon taking time out to reconsider a lot
I learned to listen to instinct, think for myself and redirect my life
Expanding perspective
Lessens undeserved guilt
Heals unresolved pain
Substantially deepens peace of mind—and Amen to all that!
