A whole lot said in a simple, concise format. When you wrote of the unknown I immediately thought of that stupid comment by Rumsfeld clearly showing that he didn't know what he was doing or talking about.
Why can't others see it as well and act appropriately?
an interesting approach at putting the five categorized notions into the framework of the solitary images linked altogether as 1,2,3. . . It looks like the Chinese characters stuffed with multilevel meanings. a good work. Cheers, alex
Thanks for this very insightful exposition, Danae. I actually did my doctoral dissertation on the behavioral aspects of the open- v. the closed-mind. While I do not presume to have any ready answers about how to transform a closed mind to an open mind, the dominant variable that swamped all others was education. But sometimes even a lifetime is not long enough to open minds that refuse to listen, to read, to observe, and to learn from their experiences.
With the world's conundrum twirling around as if in a washing machine with a extra long cycle, your single and double word assessment of what really matters and what doesn't is very poignant. If more people read this and copied it, placed it on their bathroom mirror, you know what? Probably some would let some consciousness back that might guide their 'consequences' in the right direction instead of their reckless pursuit for whatever THEY consider worth the price of the outcome.
Perry Conners, Arizona tycoon and soon-to-be politician, can't sleep or make love anymore, and he's losing all sense of reality. Is it the Devil's fault?

And until we understand this and learn from our mistakes,
we'll never gain traction.
A very well written and thought provoking write.
