Discussing the idea of rebooting things/minds/societies with friends today a simple insight i astonishingly never had thought of. (not wanting to stretch the reboot metaphor too much).
Even though a preventive reboot of the system now and then could avoid a hard crash, most things first get rebooted when they’ve crashed hard and reached a standstill.
Could explain an absurdity or two in societies and organizations. And could point one’s energy towards rebooting the things that have crashed instead of doing preventive reboots of things that are still functioning somewhat however an awkward, slow and meaningless state they might be in.
But then, the world is a continuous flows of small reboots of direction and one shouldn’t stretch metaphors too much…

So today is the day.
Would never have believed 10-12 years ago that i would experience so much, make so many mistakes, meet so many interesting inspiring people, mess so many things up, try so many things and yet realize how little i understand of it all.
And as all the wise “elders” tells me these days - it only gets better if you let it. And that i guess is the hard part becoming more and more settled in one’s mind and relations.
