Scraps of paper
Do captivating stories help a person? Do captivating stories hurt? Do captivating stories ever change the course of history? Possibly one or two, but mostly they dont.
Do I have to change even if I dont want to?
You have to change every fucking day.
My major problem all my life is that I would rather wait, and accumulate some more knowledge, before attacking the problem at hand. When its usually best to attack straight away with whatever's available, and get it wrong, and do it badly, and look like a fool, but at least to accomplish the task of having given it a shot. Or to do small sections at a time, instead of the backburner method of dreading and waiting for some missing piece of information, or some lucky series of events. Sometimes its better to have failed, than to have succeeded in the wrong way. I dont like to make decisions when there is missing information. And yet there is always missing information. In the real world, there is never perfect information. There is only inadequate information. Hopelessly flawed and useless information. When the critical moment comes, there is going to be some doubt. Maybe faith is about having an open mind that things might possibly still work out.
