Sometimes it's worth taking a pause...sit down on a bench and take a break. Let go of thoughts and deeds. Clear your head of everything and everyone. To be alone and quiet.
It's not always a "whipped butter" situation. Viscous, like a swamp, engulfs you... getting out to the air becomes harder with each new movement.
Too often in my life I have had to explain and prove the obvious truth. Trying to convey to people that you are not an ostrich is a task of extreme absurdity, but... even in this I have enough experience to be able to answer any, even the most blatant, question asked of me. It's another matter for a narrow-minded person to second-guess themselves and make a decision favorable to themselves. Well... the only thing I want to summarize here is that it is of negligible relevance. Only with sincere disinterest does a person have no questions. Well... as always, it's very simple. It is not necessary to change your mind, let a man live with his "favorable truth"! And only the smart one will want to hear your opinion to confirm or refute his speculations.
