RE: Pause... lift your hand above your eyes to shade them and peer into the distance...
Intresting post but what about the moments you have to react and isnt time to think a lot ? Than how you mejure the situation ?
There are moments like those and then you should use a little common sense. Yet I believe you can see from my post that this is not what I am referring to. The moments you have no choice but to make a quick decision in are not the ones where you have time to reflect on short term gains versus long term consequences. Those fortunately tend to be more rare than the kind where you do have a chance to consider.
People tend to embrace many things these days with very short term vision (often without any memory of even a few days prior to that) and no consideration for long term ramifications.
This coupled with the tendency for most people to not like to admit when they are wrong is a dangerous combination. I'd argue a good deal of the world problems today arise from such a combination.
