The more you see the more possibilities you see
Great possibilities
and terrifying possibilities
The more you see the more you see:
-what can go wrong
-what can be done better
-how little control you have
-how complex the matters truly are
I used the word “SEE” — because it’s so neutral
SEEING is innately neutral
You just see.
I doesn’t mean you’re pessimistic or optimistic,
Doesn’t mean you’re confident or insecure,
When you see a spade — you see a fucking spade
You just see
So you can see that SEEING has innately nothing to do with your ATTITUDE, not in it’s essence
Of course your attitude could, and does colour your perception
But seeing is seeing
When you see a cat — it’s just a cat
It doesn’t fucking matter if you like cats or hate cats
You still see a cat
You still see
Your attitude doesn’t innately necessarily determine what you see
Now,
The more you see the more “negative” you see
You also see more “positive”, but you see more negative
This is because you see more. So obviously you see more of everything
Those that don’t see nearly as much as you do will call you “pessimistic”,
(or maybe they will call you optimistic and naive, the dumb pseudo-sceptics)
Those that don’t see nearly as much as you do will often be more confident, bold
They see no danger so they “just do it”
see? It is vital to see the difference here:
One can be brave or one can be just blind, stupid
One can be confident or one can be just delusional
One can be ambitious or one can be just clueless
It’s a wonderful thing, being brave, confident, ambitious, self-assertive, optimistic, “positive”…
But it can actually be easier for the MORON than for someone who actually sees
Now I am by no means saying that NOT being brave, confident, ambitious, self-assertive, optimistic, “positive” in any way makes you more intelligent,
It’s INTELLIGENCE, it’s SEEING — which makes you more susceptible to being overly cautious, more doubtful, perhaps pessimistic…
However,
In the long run — if you’re truly intelligent, and truly seeing the reality — you should eventually feel very confident, VERY OPTIMISTIC about this existence,
You may still be pessimistic about certain specific things, still be very careful with certain specific things, still be completely baffled by the complexity of certain specific things…
But your attitude to the whole is “positive”
Your attitude to the whole is “positive”,
You don’t feel “negative”
You can see “negative”,
You don’t feel “negative”
You see “negative”, you see “positive” — and you feel fucking great
Because seeing things makes you pretty good at things,
Seeing things in great detail enables you to manipulate things in great detail
You get great outcomes,
You don’t fear bad outcomes, you expect them,
You feel great
Yes
Use your penetrating perception so that you can be adapt to this world,
Dispassionately see the reality for what it is,
Dispassionately choose the right course of action,
Then passionately act, with the best of expectations
