The list of what we can do is very long
The list of what we will do is very short
The list of what we care about is very long
The list of what we care for is very short
The beautiful luxury is that you get to pick what goes on the short lists.
But the short lists are inherently short, so no turning them into long lists.
We get distracted by the long lists and belittle the short lists.
Or refuse to make our short list at all because we’re afraid.
The short lists are of utmost importance because ‘will do’ and ‘care for’ promote action in conjunction with the emotion and desire.
