In music to "ritard" is to gradually slow the tempo. It works in life, too: do something wickedly wonderful that makes everything stop til you get yourself together. Laugh yourself silly and drag others along with you!
It must be Emerson day today. I saw another quote by him elsewhere that was much less fun, about happiness not being important. It's all about being useful. I say, why not both. Right? :) Hope you're having a great Friday! :)
Yeah, the dude was very good at covering all sentiments, alright! This one happens to agree with me more than others. It's not that I'm not a supporter of being useful; it's just that compassion can be draining, and if your soul can't refuel.You can end up rather useless. Silly and kindness tend to work better for me.
