When you look at an object, you see one side of it at a time; the nature of vision. When you think about something, you think about it in one context at a time; the nature of thought.
Context determines what your mind thinks just as viewing-angle determines what your eye sees.
The <div> tag is empty until the end of <script> where theString gets inserted into myTable. Tags & data for the table rows & columns get appended to theString at every “+=”. The table data <td> is nothing more than the product of the two factors x and y, the column and row indexes respectively.
I choose to juggle this year and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.
That goal will serve to organize and measure the best of my energies & skills. That challenge is one that I am willing to accept, one I am unwilling to postpone, one which I intend to win. -thank you John F. Kennedy
Reflect on the spirit embodied by monks at the Monastery of Christ in the Desert: Their daily work period starts at 9:40 AM and is for only 3 hours!
Asked of one monk what he does when the bell rings at 12:40 PM but he feels that his work is undone, he replied, “You get over it.“
Life is so unfair. He wasn’t on the offense; his job was defense, not to catch the ball. But, he was playing the game. And what difference would possession make?
So the missed catch split his life, a mortal caesura so to speak, his life before and after the unexpected happening.

Fast and Slow is Daniel Kahneman‘s idea of thinking in terms of System One and System Two.
System One defines the fast, effortless, intuitive, almost impulsive type of thinking.
System Two describes a deliberate, slow-paced kind of thinking that involves the effort of concentration.
To Stop thinking requires training your mind to silence your thoughts. That higher level of control is achieved with deliberate, focused time & effort, through the practice of meditation.
So many people

have come & gone
Their faces fade
as the years go by
Yet I still recall
as I wander on
As clear as the sun
in the summer sky
In good time as the ardor of youth declines and years increase; as reflection lends her solemn pauses; then a love of ease & virtue supplants the love for maidens. –Moby Dick by Heman Melville
