Second blog -- answers to an ocean of prompts

Blog City image small

Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn
anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.

Prompt: "This is the precept by which I have lived. Prepare for the worst, expect the best and take what comes." Hannah Arendt How do you feel about this quote?

===


Good quote! Possibly it would work for most people. As for me, I can’t expect the worst because I can’t foresee the worst or the best. So, I settle for the middling something.

As to taking what comes, yes. That works very well for me. At times, it takes more guts than I have, but I take most anything on the chin and try not to blink.

The worst may be heartrending, but the best could prove to be even worst than the worst because once you feel you’ve hit the best, where else to go and what else to do becomes a problem and turns life into something dull and unbearable. In that case, the best may prove out to be worst.

In either case, worst or the best, for me, there is always scope for improvement.
