It is said that the definition of insanity is repeating an action and expecting a different result. We've certainly seen that with the Obama regime trying socialist and even Marxist tactics and being in denial that they are destroying the company. After all, socialism has not worked...ANYWHERE. Even the Chinese Communists are using some capitalist concepts in order to survive. But this post is not about politicians...they'll NEVER learn. Rather it's about people.
Eastern ways of thinking call it ying/yang. It is salt to pepper...mustard to mayonnaise...or cream to coffee. Intelligent people learn and use this concept. I miserably fail to do so.
Paul McCartney is a good example of using this wisely. When he was writing the song "Getting Better," showing the other lads (the Beatles) his demo, John Lennon, who co-wrote with Paul, began to sing sarcastically "It can't get no worse."
The result was a very positive song on the surface, but a deeper inspection reveals the balance.
Often times we're tempted to "try again" in a relationship that has ended, forgetting the hurtful and negative things that caused us to end that relationship.
One of the things I'm trying to learn, is to make use of this resource in my life.
