Assumptions

Everything are in perfect place at the perfect time. I am learning that. I am hard at work at living this concept.

I still get too excited when I see something rare and unusual. Today I saw a kingfisher perched on the concrete breaker near my home, and I became so happy. I think that kind of happiness is healthy. And today, I had a serendipitous encounter with a couple of fighter pilots. We had some casual exchanges about nice places to visit in Japan. But I kept on thinking of all the questions I could have asked. I was happy to have met them and kept on thinking how unique they are. I think this kind of happiness is not so healthy. Yes, finding them interesting is healthy, but to put them on the pedestal and think how special they are is definitely unhealthy. Pilot or factory worker or call center operator. We are all created because of circumstances, like genetics we inherit and environment we end up in. Whom I find interesting is fine, but to admire someone for the position they are and treating them specialy is definitely not fine.

At least I started to notice how my mind behaves. With practice, eventually, I can learn to be able to separate interesting from important.

What do I mean by assumptions? I am assuming that some people are special and most people are not. I am assuming that people that are special happened to be at the right place at the right time. Neither isn’t so…..
