If we don't know where we're going, we'll probably get there.
Undertaking effective action in the world requires more
than the wish to do so, and wish is already a big thing.
Holding a sense of the overall, of the big picture, is necessary.
Then, we need to know:
i) where we are;
ii) where we are going;
iii) what we have to do to get there;
iv) what resources are available to get us there.
And fundamental: which Master do we serve?
Expectation is the prediction that history will repeat itself, exactly, precisely.
Understanding is simple. Knowing is complicated.
Robert Fripp
