What is it, when we watch and listen,
seeing and hearing only what confirms
the sights and sounds of our own private silo?
What is it, when a child cries out for help,
and those around just say,
“That’s the way it’s always been, here”.
What is it, when one follows the path of least resistance,
with a self-directed message,
that comfort has been earned.
Is it living to fight another day?
Is it being prudent?
Is it emotional triage?
Or, is it slumber?
Interesting. I think some like to fight while others prefer a safer route. I’ve always been energetic and curious, willing to give it my all due to desperation. I have a friend who is slower than I am in the head, and she’s beaten me in everything–and many others. She took the path of least resistance. I think patience is a virtue and so is telling people off.

Each is a virtue, in its place.

I think it can be all of the above. It takes a bit of courage to step out of your comfort zone…

That it does, and in general, it’s very gratifying.
