Let’s give the whole idea of ‘thinking’ a rest today…
15 Mar 2022
Dear LPG,
I am not trying to intentionally put a dampener on anyone’s day, but did you know that today has been selected for the celebration of all things that are wrong? Perhaps its consequences will not reach as far as needed to affect us here in the United Kingdom because, from what I can see on the internet, it is one of those holidays that appears to have originated somewhere else in this big bad world of ours, although I cannot find any internet evidence of a time or person who started it all.
The internet offered a bit of history from the Romans who saw the middle of any month as a day to repay your debts according to some internet writings. So, I suppose Shakespeare might have something to do with bringing that notion back to the fore by popularising it with one of his plays. In his work, Julius Caesar, he made reference to the ‘Ides of March’. Let’s face it, the soothsayer says it, by the end of the play Caesar has been assassinated and March 15th is the day it all happened.
Apparently, one should not make any major decisions today and do as little as possible that will have a significant effect on your, or anyone else’s, future… I am just saying!
Perhaps it is also a day for considering any aspects of life that you disagree with others on and, while thinking is not advised, there must be some advantage to rethinking your strategy just in case there is a variable that you might have not considered. Perhaps if you just rethink about things today you can also rest assured that you cannot actually do anything too wrong.
Failing that, you could focus on your meditation skills; after all, meditation is all about emptying your mind isn’t it?
