option 4

In a post a bit back I asked that you think of the three things that you consider the most important in life.  Someone posted a comment that they wanted to add a 4th option for the thing that you don't know about yet.

This is a good call and a very important point in terms of understanding how we think.  In any given situation, we can usually come up with some alternatives.  Option A, B, C, and D.  We should always list an option E which is "something that we have not thought of yet."  It is a sign of maturity to know that we don't know it all, and that our brains are not going to think of everything.

This is the joy of discussing things with people and friends.  Sometimes they have an Option 4 or an option E.  Something that you had not thought of, but may just hit the mark.

Quoting Shakespeare, As my mother used to say to me when I was young, "there is more Horatio than is dreamt of in your philosophy."

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
