Bruce Jack Reserve Stream of Consciousness

ageing : Can be enjoyed now or cellar at cool temperature for 5 years.

Sometimes we try too hard. No matter how carefully you bake that carrot cake your mother-in-law's scowls may never fade, and your mates didn't laugh at your joke the first time for a reason - repeating that witty pun won't help, it just makes you look pathetic... sometimes we try too hard. Ironically, our insecurity, just like our ego, gets the better of us. This is normal. If it didn't, we would be narcissistic, which means we would probably want to be a career politician and not a valuable member of the collective fabric that holds the essential good of humanity together. Sometimes we try too hard... we force things, like relationships that are doomed, like keeping a favourite dog alive when it needs to move on... sometimes we need to stop trying and let life happen, sometimes we need to become one with the stream of consciousness.
