Daily Comment

I am frequently reminded not to get attached to the idea of being right.

In the past, this was very important to me. These days, not so much.

I still like to correct factual errors, but find fewer of my personal interactions involve facts than involve feelings, ideas, and processes these days.

This gives free reign to subjectivity, an area where facts have little power. I suspect facts have diminishing utility in all areas of life.

So I have to remember that even my most cherished ideas are illusory, and have no more worth than anybody else's, except to me, and, in social interactions, they may not be seen as having the value I attach to them.

Why does this come up now? Because i am Fool will be making a video. Last week, when making videos was suggested, my response was, "That would be nice, but perhaps not the best use of our energy now, while we are rebuilding after the addition of a new member." In other words, not a high priority item, to me.

A few days later there was an announcement for an opening slot at a prestige venue, that was going to be given to the group whose video got the most Facebook 'Likes'. So, we are making a video.

Things change. Best not to resist change. Bend don't break, and all that.
