Down to earth Truisms

What is a truism?  Truism is something we experience on a daily basis that we know it’s true.  For example, we know based on experience that the sun will rise.

When we throw a ball up in the air, we know it will fall down to earth. When the temperature drops, we wear sometimes to keep our bodies warm. When the temperature is higher than 90 degrees, we take off a layer or two of clothing to get comfortable.

When we’re hungry, we fix something to eat.  When we’re tired, we rest our bodies.  When we say we’re sorry to someone we hurt, the person’s resentment disappears.  Our experiences are self-evidence that truisms do exist.

We all have different Speeds

“Slow and steady wins the race.”

We have different speeds. Some of us are faster than others. Some of us are slower than others. It depends on our speed. We ought not to rush things. Instead, slow and steady is enough at least for learning. Some things need speed. Some things need time. We know speed isn’t necessary when we start making careless mistakes.  Making a mistake is the first sign of rushing. It’s time to take a breath and slow down and look at what’s going on around us. Then we can start pacing ourselves to a natural balance. Getting back to a natural balance means quieting the mind.
