Whispers of wisdom – 09
Benjamin Teixeira de Aguiar
by the Spirit Eugênia-Aspásia.
Do not rush. Allow the processes of life, with their characteristic subtleties, completely reveal their contents. Let the dust raised by the whirlwind settle down and then you’ll be able to better enjoy the scenery, temporarily muddled. Clearly seeing the panorama around you will arm you with the resources you need to make a sounder decision, one with better chances to be right.
Just rush if, on the other hand, you are a victim of the extreme opposite psychological addiction: procrastination. In this case, you probably have already complied with all the reflexive steps required by prudence, without even starting to undertake what cannot be postponed, thus becoming negligent and almost criminal due to the omission you allow yourself.
Too much caution… is stinginess of living… as much as throwing away, recklessly and inconsequently, the most precious opportunities Life offers you is a permanent state of moral suicide.
