Stances and Questions By Bea Augustine Some days we only mull over the life as it appears to be, without

proceeding with being too deliberate. Schedules still remain and then, does one need a special time during the day to sit down and reflect on happenings or just keeping to the agenda is all that we need? There are meetings and then, there are losses, we keep some memories and it is all that is left, we have our emotions inside, the affection that every living creature has for their close ones (like the doggy crying for her offspring, when they are not with her any more) and then, we know, time may only help find something new and feel better, when one knows one has been rigorous with the efforts to make things right. Saying words, and sometimes, knowing there might have been another way to make it better, or wondering whether at times we say too much. Words are just a way to make good attire for the stances and feelings and, at times, they are just too much. Probably we do not need so much of them and, still, good wording can make anyone feel better, when we communicate. Have you ever wondered how sometimes words can get true? When we have some prior thoughts and opinions, it just happens that time then makes them valid, without the possibility to update the validity vector at Time 1 with a new value. I could not argue whether it is how we perceive reality that makes things happen, as seen from hindsight or it is just that some small factors make one apprehend what is to happen next. Then, there are times, when we expect things to be good and, what ensues is that it just did not occur that way. Misunderstandings arise and then, all that has been built so far just goes nowhere. Then, working towards the better agenda is the choice of the day, overcoming the obstacles that follow and the misconceptions that someone might have, and life gets more like it has never been before. Words are expected to be easy, or sometimes hard, questions might be deliberately harder or at times, some people think it is easy to answer. Is it because some just say what they think and do not hesitate on delivering their opinion or maybe, it is just the expectation that we all do not mind just telling a story, I cannot know. Stories are for reading and, then, it depends on what one might want to read or on what one is looking for. I might not be interested in a whole lot of stories at all. One might just need to focus on their imminent priorities and not lose sight of the road ahead. And so many stories that we hear are just not positive. Surely, we might be just advised of something, then, however, should not it be better to know about the positive ones that are just not so headlines-worthy, as no one wants to know how something actually turned good for someone. There could be a balance between headlines and happy-end way of thinking; still, at the end of the day it is all about what one prefers to get. Some people might be positive and flexible; others might just want a structure in which they feel alright, it is about communicational patterns and ways of staying on track, or even about where one wants to be some time after. These are only choices that we have probably once made or that someone might have been just raised up with and not about being right or wrong.
