Random Thoughts or Whatever

[SuperjazzyJa]

I've come to the realization that if it weren't for cats, humans would have never discovered wool. After seeing multiple pictures of cats sleeping on the backs of sheep, it occurred to me that someone must have seen this happen many years ago and thought "Well, there is no living being that knows how to find a warm spot like a cat. Sheep must be warm!" What followed was a sheer delight!

TIME! Usually our enemy, sometimes not.

They (time experts) say we may be able to teleport to the past, but not to the future.

Hmmmmm?

...there is no time....like the present...

 

[spicer]

Yep, first attributed to Neil Young.

Def Leppard "Borrowed" it in the first verse of "Rock of Ages" in 1983

Gunter gleiben glauchen globen
Alright
I got somethin' to say, yeah
It's better to burn out, yeah
Than fade away
Alright
Aw, gonna start a fire
Come on
Rise up, gather 'round
Rock this place to the ground
Burn it up, let's go for broke
Watch the night go up in smoke
Rock on (rock on)
Drive me crazier
No serenade, no fire brigade
Just the pyromania, come on
What do you want?
(I want rock and roll) yes, I do
(Long live rock and roll)............

Old soldiers never die, they just fade away. MacArthur, he quoted it. Rock stars are fading away.

Ah...was thinking along the lines of "mental" tendencies, but have known a few with minds that would fit your...offering.


Q

Hey now, the two are often related.

The present is the best place to live.

I've spoken to people in person and posted here about how humidity makes cold feel colder. Today, I ran into a lady whom I have spoken to about this before and she insisted I was wrong. So, with temps in the 40s and 50s over the weekend with humidity between 90 and 100%, I took screenshots of the weather app. When I saw her today, she started telling me how nice it was today and I said "You know it's only 28°, right?" She looked at me funny. So, I showed her the current (at the moment) temp of 28 and scrolled down to show her the humidity which was 42%. Then, I showed her the screenshots from the weekend. She was flabbergasted. I made sure she didn't pass out before walking away.

She'll get you for that...

 

[SuperjazzyJa]

She'll get you for that...

If she can find me....

The present is the best place to live.

Be here, now!

They say they are superior while being afraid they are not, reinforcing their refusal to consider other opinions - a fragile self esteem instead of a robust self image of being good but admittedly not perfect.

Yes, and some are not afraid of it at all, they are certain of their superiority, doubt has no place in their mind, subconscious or not. Those are the one's to consider when considering things. Many of them become experts, not, necessarily, accomplished, or learned, but experts.

Some complain about "present times", but oft wonder how they can, if the present lasts but a nano-second, and now it becomes the past.

Maybe "ramifications of the past" are being complained about... living in the perpetual present? So, perhaps they are really complaining about the past events!

The present is always...as is the past...

That reminds me of the old Chamber Brothers tune.

And, it's strange how we muse on the past and anticipate the future.

Some med-types share to not to linger in the past, as it may colour the future.

Which of the three time zones does it make sense to...appreciate?

Q

If you don't know where you've been you won't know where you're going. Lingering is not the same as awareness. The past does color the future as much as one is not aware of it. Mind managers for the future eliminate the classics.

 

[nailer]

The present is always...as is the past...

The past is what was.
The present is what is.
The future is what will be and is not ours to see. Que sera sera ...

Read somewhere that along the same line from a writer/historian a lot smarter than me that: "If you care little about the past, you will forever remain a child". These words have resonated with me for years. Going into the past about the past...I guess?


Q

 

[DeadRock]

One reason to "go into the past"...to be released from it...

 

[Mr Boochie]

"If you care little about the past, you will forever remain a child."


Q

That could be good or bad. Depends on your childhood.
