Beyond “The Matrix”

This is why I suggest Wisdom, precedes strength, it’s like effort and strength was already expended in order to gain it, like bottled strength. It’s like the little Ninja master, who’s able to defeat opponents 15x as strong, with a single blow.

The quote made me look back at tough times in my life – and I think it’s an explanation or partial explanation (of course there’s other factors that make us depressed). We tend to predict the future based on what happened in the past. We tend to feel happier with a “secure” future, and less happy without. Uncertainty feeds into this. With the caveat, that the future doesn’t really exist, it’s a mental construction (ie we don’t know for sure what the future will be, it’s just degrees of certainty or uncertainty.)
