Too Far, Either Way...

Folk #1: "Don't think too far ahead, or too far back. I think that's good advice. I mean, I am not saying I have it all figured out, no way, that would be complete & total vanity, I just think it's a good rule of thumb to try to live in the moment, as close to the present moment as possible. It's the only place you can actually do something, you know, in the present moment. Think too far ahead, well, you are dead, think too far back, there are way too many unfortunate, embarrassing and humbling events to review. Life: a series of unfortunate events. Remember, thinking is another one of those double-edged swords. Too much thinking makes the baby go blind. Ha. And too little thinking makes you a very stupid person; a fool, an idiot, a dolt. It's tricky."
