from the mind of critic-4/6/17

From the mind of critic: “If we have foglights on our car, do they actually help us navigate through the fog? Do we appreciatte any help that’s provided to go through the fog, by bolting or straping anything to our car to make our path easier, whether or not is actually works in practice? Or are we skeptical of what anybody says will help us, because we’ve seen how hard it is to drive through fog with or without fog lights, and know the best way is not with some device that people tell us works, but instead moving forward but at a slower pace? Sometimes progress moves at a snails pace, and sometimes a snails pace would be like a top fuel dragster compared to how slow it goes. Progress can move quicker depending on the thickness of the fog, but moving forward is always the answer. We might try waiting the fog out, hoping it dissapates to allow safe travel. However, the fog might condense and become worse, simply because of our inaction. Once we realize that fog lights only give us the hope of moving through the fog, we’ll see that hope without action actually devolves progress because of our desperate attempt at something difficult. This doesn’t necessarily mean difficult isn’t worth it, it juist means it will take more effort, and not just looking for the easy way out, but looking for a way that works, period. People will give us advice all day long, but they’re only suggestions, not orders. The only true orders come from our soul, we just have to make sure we’re listening” 🙂
