What I look for

I used to almost envy people who did not seem to be very introspective but I no longer do. While I chewed things over incessantly, I would, metaphorically speaking, see others jump into crevices head first and deal with the fallout later.

In reality there is no perfect way to be and we each have our internal wiring which seems to largely be predetermined. There is also of course influence of our education and my disciplined and intellectual father instilled in me that reticence of leaping before sufficiently reflecting.

Now I strive for a balance of using life wisdom with a bit of spontaneity thrown in for good measure. Having shed my concern for what the masses think, I diffuse the indignation and look for pure and good people with hearts of gold as reassurance that there is hope for us yet.
