Quote

All human situations have their inconveniences. We feel those of the present but neither see nor feel those of the future; and hence we often make troublesome changes without amendment, and frequently for the worse.



- Benjamin Franklin

Isn't that the truth?

I *try* to have a little presence of mind, when my only reason for making a decision is to get out of a current situation. That's not always possible though. Well, I guess it is always possible...

What is it they say about the time that passes between an action and our reaction? About how that is what makes us human? Wish I could remember, it made so much sense at the time.
