Every now and then I have a seemingly random obscure thought, it causes me a moment’s pause – a time to reflect, and occasionally it is an ahha moment, my version of an epiphany. On closer reflection, I often realize that this thought or thoughts were not very random, or obscure, when I trace it back it follows a not so liner path, but a path all the same, it has some genesis. This morning it was a combination of incidences, scenarios, a facebook video clip and interview all muddled up in the inner working of my not always fully functioning mind. It was a combination of doing deeds genuinely, void of manipulation or ulterior motives, it was about responsibility, decision making, self presentation, fronting, lack of focus, all rolled up in one. It’s amazing the number of thoughts I can have in that 20-25 minute drive. Invariably though, all this came back to the root of my post re: Logical Consequences. We make decisions, and then our decisions make us. Some of us get so pre-occupied with the screen saver that we thing to be our real lives that we forget everything still going on in the background; we forget how quickly and easily reality slaps us in the face, and when it does we wonder where did that come from, we ask, what did I do to deserve this, we think God/the universe/or people don’t like us. It is not often we take responsibility for our actions, our decisions. Nothing is without consequence.
