Live as if you were living already for the second time and as if you had acted the first time as wrongly as you are about to act now!
Imagine first that the present is past, and second, that the past may yet be changed & amended.

“Tell me, Master, what is the best move in the world?”
There simply is no such thing as the best or even a good move apart from a particular situation in a game and the particular personality of one’s opponent.
The same holds for human existence. One should not search for an abstract meaning of life. Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life to carry out a concrete assignment which demands fulfillment.
Therein he cannot be replaced, nor can his life be repeated. Thus, everyone’s task is as unique as is his specific opportunity to implement it.
Man’s Search For Meaning by Victor Frankl
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.
Brain activity in the pink matter (wet) comes up with a mental impulse that drives the hand to draw with pencil on paper (dry), transferring an idea into physical space. From there the graphic design, as in this example, gets uploaded into the AIR of cyberspace.
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.

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

The inferior man’s wickedness is visited upon himself. His house is split apart. A law of nature is at work here.
The I Ching or Book of Changes
Last night G stepped into a conversation between R and M. The problem that R was expressing to M was exactly the same problem G was experiencing.
It seemed R and G might commiserate to find the right solution for both of them. Any answers found would be to their mutual benefit.
But, because, M and R were on one team and G was on a distinctly different team, G was outside of R & M’s coupling and so, easy to dismiss.
