sequence of events.

what makes things complicated when we all started off simple and perhaps want to be simple? sometimes it's the confusion of sequence of events. which comes first and which comes later? what is the driver and what does that propagates into?

thrust into a host of events on a daily basis. who has the time and energy to find out the "proper procedures" for everything? eventually with seniority, who wants to admit that they do not know the proper way to deal with certain event?

the human memory is an interesting part of the mind. it is an algorithm that bridges gaps automatically. most times so intuitive that we do not even realize it's taking place. the fallacy of this close-to-perfect algorithm is the price of always weighing ourselves more than the others and consequently, giving ourselves a lot more credit. again, nature has its way. such an existence does feedback into a healthier self image yet as with all things that seemingly have their reasons for existence...the vision gets affected.

reasons. i think they are important in assessing the sequence of events to help us understand why things are in place, which in turn determines why we ought to follow the rules. and perhaps even more vital to rationality is the condition of one's mind. how to consistently keep it open so we can have the capacity to understand anything. that is perhaps why the wise reminded us to take time off to sniff the roses...
