Murdock Memories- The Potato Eaters

What is a good day to start doing something new? A Friday is a good day to start something new. The activity would encompass the weekend and there would be ample time to engage in the activity. Maybe a Monday is a good day to start something new. It is the beginning of the week and it is always a good day to start doing something. How about a date? The first of the month is a good date to start something new. The ides of a month are an auspicious time of the month to go to the senate. Isn’t it?

Does starting something on a “good day” implicate a good start to what one is about to do? One must certainly need the skills to do what they are trying to do. A “good day” is not going to grant them those skills magically. Or does the induced psychological motivation from knowing that one has started to do something on a “good day” give them mental strength to achieve what they are trying to do, even skills lacking?

The ability to question is a good place to start. To ensure that all necessary information is available is the only way someone makes an informed decision. Literally, I would be impossible to do so otherwise. However, one must also learn and know to question one’s ability to question. One must know when one must question others.

Fox that was lame said unto the Cat who was blind that the boy was fragile. The Fox that was lame said unto the Cat who was blind that they could lead the boy astray for a fool who knew not the difference between the stars so far away and a fire from a village nearby would surely succumb to doubt. Self-doubt is an extreme form of questioning oneself. Self-doubt is pure evil; doubt is necessary evil. The Learned Wise One always said that one must doubt self-doubt. Do I dare doubt myself again? Do I dare doubt doubt?

Say, if everything is the world has its own place, then does place also have its place? If I as one make no sound in the sea of doubt, do all of the nothingness in me screaming out make a sound? If I continue to as of questions, do I reach the intended answer I seek? I am always doing what I can't do yet in order to learn how to do it. So I was, so I am, and so I shall be.
