Current Philosophy/Aphorism: Curious But Not Committed

[mlerules]

And the number of balls flying through the air increases just a little bit more. *mildly maniacal laughter* Part of me wants to rip up my life and toss it into the wind, a really strong wind, an East wind...to let the pieces fall where they may. For now though I'll just keep options open...even as I cull.

Is THIS part of why it's so hard to cull? Because things represent possibilities? What if I need X and I've gotten rid of it? Okay, then, should ask myself these qx: Is X replaceable? At what cost (time & energy & money)? How likely is this need to arise and/or how important would it be to satisfy that need - is it really merely a want that I can do without?

Sometimes I don't know what I want although I'm aware I want something. So I'll try something to see if'n that's it. Not the most efficient way of figuring things out, but better than just going on as before w/out trying to figure it out. Sometimes analysis won't suffice. Sometimes action - even if just attempted action - is required.

Just got off the phone w/a Dear Friend. Damn good timing for reconnection, too.

Perpetual self-indulgence doesn't make me feel guilty (usually). I want to live a life of Mutually Assured Construction.

For everything you say "yes" to, you must say no to all the outcomes that become no longer possible.

Saying "no" to stuff doesn't seem to slow down any fresh incoming possibilities, though.
