A Day

It's amazing what a difference a day makes. My thought process getting there was "Be brutal. Be honest" being the best instruction I received all week, then thinking wow how that punctuated a pretty shitty day, how well my week had been going until today..

You get the picture.

It's not that I think every day is destiny bound to be wonderful. Sometimes without being able to anticipate things kind of catch up with you and I've always found that interesting - that we can't really predict our emotions.

But we can foresee the outcomes of our choices. And we can predict possible effects that our choices may have on other people, particularly if you find yourself in a position of responsibility where people somewhat depend on you.

Perhaps it's more difficult as a singular individual to really think through the consequences of your seemingly inconsequential actions, but we exist in a society for a reason. It's one of the reasons I think I enjoy life in a Scandinavian country so much ..that generally the mentality of us all being in is together is so prevalent.

The truth is our actions do affect others, almost always. Bypassing that in the process of our assessment strikes me as an ignorance. One that is somewhat wilful and willing.

How much do we and should we consider others in our actions, no matter what the form situation specifics take? And how do we account both our own effect but also affects on our self?

So I ask what difference a day makes, and what difference within me.
