Don't Get Too Comfortable

Synchronization could possibly be impossible. Working with things as they happen seems to be the only real way to solve anything. Problem prevention can only go so far without making sacrifices that can make you go crazy.

Say there is a problem, that hasn't quite happened yet. So you have no idea that this problem is going to come about. How can you prevent it, without knowing about it? Well a lot of time there are error precursors (things that lead up to the problem). So with these error precursors hanging around, one could possibly prevent the problem. But how much do you really want to give up in order to prevent problems from coming along. Isn't the time and the effort being spent into problem prevention, a problem in itself? Half the time put into problem prevention ends up being wasted in the end. So it could be a significant part of your life where you could have been putting your time into something else. Like being creative, making money, making friends, etc.

Without problems, you can't really have an appreciation for things working out.

Now this might not make a ton of logical sense, since obviously problem prevention can be useful. But to expect problems for a greater part of your life, is to neglect that some problems are in fact not problems at all. It really is the way you look at it. If you lose your car keys and in turn end up being late to a dinner party, you may look at not having a hook for your keys being a problem. But really, was it ever a problem to be late for the dinner party? In being late, you may have been nervous and tense. Take your time. Breathe a little bit. You gained something from all of that somehow. You took your mind out of repetitive monotony and had to search for something you lost. You exercised your memory, and you had to figure out how to get to the party as fast as you could. You then had to learn how to laugh at yourself when you showed up late.

It doesn't hurt to be a little disorganized. The most organized people are sometimes the most boring. Sure, have a certain order to your life, but don't ever get too comfortable with the same boring routine. You'll lose your mind, and without random events, life could lack meaning very quickly.

What is comfort but a latent mind?
