Scarecrows Around Every Corner



"Logical consequences are the scarecrows of fools and the beacons of wise men."

Thomas H. Huxley
19th century British biologist



Sometimes we fear what possibly, but not certainly, we may need to fear, before we need to fear it.

And for that we are fools.

Understand the potential consequences of your actions, and decide based on that what course you will take.

There are enough real threats to be avoided without adding the unreal ones we perceive as real.

  1. Easy for you to say but what I fear is real. I'm not working, no one wants to hire me, I have no friends and no one who cares about me. Tell me all that isn't real.

  2. That is all real. What are you doing to improve things?
