Wow...this article explains the two fundamental aspects of human nature, one to know the truth which is driven by our curiosity, the other to believe in lores which gives us inward contentment. We can't avoid any because we are sentient beings and not programmed machines. Beautifully written article and more than that, I like the lines, "the most wonderful expression of our absurd, deeply flawed, and yet so very human desire to turn the worst of reality into the the very best of fiction and to just believe, taking that as a sign". Thanks for the mail, made my day! :)
I'll step in and say we may need both truth and signs/beliefs. We may need the truth that we don't interview well. We may need the encouragement of signs or whatever to believe our circumstances will change. Make decisions based on facts, truth always. Use signs, beliefs for encouragement. A friend held her breath that Biden would win. Then I asked her to hold her breath that sister would get a job. Today I asked her to hold her breath because I do not want snow today. HA!
You are an amazing writer AND photographer! Nice piece!
