Soft eyes aren’t enough.  I told my daughter that just because you can see how events unfold, often you cannot do anything to affect them.  She was surprised.  10 going on 40, but still 10.  She did tell me she likes the Sims because she can mess with peoples’ lives.

Act, the A in OODA, is often given short shrift.  I feel it is often taken for granted.  That’s deadly.  If you can’t implement what you want or need to do, the other steps don’t matter.

The hope is that one day, one will have the proper position and resources to actually do something.  I’ve been lucky to have been in this position, often by chance and fate.

Sometimes though, the right move is to not act.  The Taoist concept of non-action.  Watch the enemy’s camp burn from across the shore.

I’m going to have to follow up on that conversation.
