maturity

When I was younger life was shorter and less time could be given to reflecting so my instincts had to be honed and relied upon but now I note the benefit of having more time to increase my wisdom by figuring out why.

There are way too many times that I relied on my ability to draw conclusions with no meed of evidence or fact (as we call tangible proof) trying to elivate it making instinct or reflex seem foolish and wisdom that comes from pondering experience better.

In my institute class (sounds like a ptchologist type banishment or something like doing time) we discussed how the book of Revelations, in the Bible, was to be understood with poetic sensibilities; Likewise, the second epistle of John was literally meant for his family but it was included as scripture for it's figurative or metaphorical applications. I cannot even cout the number of times I took a literal expression as a figurative one rarely the other way around.

Mary just took off her diaper and peed on the floor, that is enough to think about for today. Best wishes!
