37.Persistence
“Fundamental attribution error” turns out to be much more significant than when I studied it in psychology. We humans suffer from a built-in blindness for “taking things personally”: when events turns out to be caused by movements, crises and even wars that had nothing to do with our little plans and lives. We interpret entropy itself – an inevitability – as some kind of negative commentary the universe is making on our basic spiritual worth! The worst aspect of this misperception is deflated hope – a sense of failure – “giving up” based on nothing more than a change of cosmic season. As we all know, nothing is achieved without persistence. The mere existence of hope creates the future despair cancels. We simply have to keep going. Long after we want to, care to or can even remember why, we must keep putting one foot in front of the other. Just get through today! Tomorrow is ALWAYS a new day. We get second, third, hundredth chances. Mantra: “I keep going because I cherish hope and hope cherishes me.”
