Intuitions

One thing I will never truly understand is the perceptive power of intuitions. Ever since I was a little kid, my intuition has been pretty much dead-on. My character judgement of others, ideas, notions, things I had a hunch about- basically. The problem? I usually ignore those hunches, and then woeful issues arise.

So what is it that makes this snap judgement ability in us possible? It seems to contradict the very core of not judging a book by its cover. Yet sometimes our impressions are correct. What to do then? Simply- the path to that answer runs parallel to many other intrigues- Will it last? How will it end? Is it worth it? Time. Steady, irrevocable, unchangeable time.

On the same token, intuitions cease to be so after we over analyze the subject matter. For example, you may know for a fact a certain purchase is unnecessary or perhaps dubious. But once you start eyeing it over , in a matter of minutes your mind and heart will have concocted a buffet of 1,000 reasons why you "need" it. Same with everything else in life. As humans we have a feisty inner conflict of voices fighting to be heard. Reason, Rationality and Logic vs Illusions, Possibilities, and What-ifs. The problem is illusions only stay in one place; the mind. And reality goes on to be our daily bread. How pleasant we make our reality can very well depend how carefully we consider our intuitions..

And next time, if all signs point to run far far away- do so. Its possible to escape before the point of no return.
