Relative Something

There are times I feel that if I became aware there were 10 minutes left in my conscious existence, I could sit in one place and allow the final seconds to pass without even realizing it. I find it interesting that having such a thought doesn’t awaken the least bit of inspiration to act toward altering the likelihood of such an outcome.

Meanwhile, looking at past evidence of how many times I haven’t failed to act on life situations tells me my perception and actually reality are not entirely aligned.

There’s always the future to consider. The following is an excerpt I wrote for a nonsense item of silliness where each post begins with the words, “In the future…”

In the future, when people’s opinions about themselves happen to approach an order of magnitude either above or below the opinions held about them by their immediate audience, the tiniest hairs on the backs of their main sensory processing lobes will warn them that if they continue to remain oblivious to the obvious evidence bouncing back at them from said audience, the good judgment of the incredibly reasonable people of the world, which as luck will have it – will have combined into a free-floating cloud of goodness that roams the planet as an incredibly helpful resource for just these kinds of situations, will strike in a lightning-like bolt of insight that stings like the dickens up and down the spine, and the inside of the eyelids will appear a blazingly brilliant, almost florescent pink on each blink. It will be great for those who have already mastered command of detecting their standing at any given time or situation.
