When I was a child, I did not have people who would take time to teach me anything. And if they did, there was no luster or flare to it.
Everything was regimented linearly with “do’s” and “thou shalt nots.” My mind was starving from boredom and crazed for lack of what it sought.
I do not sit down and enjoy games of chess, charades, etc. (Ok, maybe Gin Rummy), because I am not good on the fly with my mind accessing non-essential, random blase data.
(Maybe it’s because I crave more engaging and fun, dynamic interactions, after a lifetime of solitude and introspection.)
I find it perplexing that people can spend hours on such games – when in reality, these efforts rarely amount to anything!
One could argue that it develops “strategy” – and I will admit that the way a general coordinates might be something I am lacking.
But, I do not need such skills to navigate the realms between which I’m flitting.
In fact, being bogged down by adherence to “what is known and seen” is quite possibly what is holding up much of humanity!
Intuition’s sensory receptivity primes one to expand into productive creativity.
