I was having a walk the other day at my village, it’s been a while, like 6 months from the last time i have been there, but this time i noticed something. I had a lesser flashback effect, kinda like the animus from Assassins Creed 2, it was like yesterday that i was playing there carefree and reckless.
Sometimes i wish we were Cylons
Maybe we are, in a sense.
We all see our life in retrospect, i hope you do as well, it’s a process of enumerating your triumphs and mistakes what went wrong, what went right, and what you can do to lead a better path into the future. The process of getting better at what you do and who you are is an ongoing process that frankly, has no end.
You have to keep at it.
So why Cylons? Because they learn from their mistakes and have the time to correct them since they normally can’t die. On the other hand, our mistakes cost time, and that time is not refundable so you plan accordingly(or you think you do).
So if i could take 1 trait or lesson and start over what would that be?
Patience, i always feel that i lack the patience and resolve to keep up with things, it’s only up to recently that i developed this trait.
Einstein once said.. “It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.”
And there is a great truth in that, whatever you do just keep at it, if there is a 4th axis that’s called time and forcibly pulls you towards then there is a 5th that’s called success and it’s directly related to how you spend your relation to the 4th axis.
