Now for the longest times of..uh late I haven't consedered myself to be a wise creature. I am very shortsighted both physically and on every other plane that is humanly possible to access. I would almost go that far to say that my optical disability is a symbol. Plain enough of a hint for someone like me to get. To me it makes sense. like a lot of things do. On my shortsighted level.

One of tese things would be
( The marshmallow experiment is a famous test of this concept conducted by Walter Mischel at Stanford University and discussed by Daniel Goleman in his popular work. In the 1960s, a group of four-year olds were given a marshmallow and promised another, only if they could wait 20 minutes before eating the first one. Some children could wait and others could not. The researchers then followed the progress of each child into adolescence, and demonstrated that those with the ability to wait were better adjusted and more dependable (determined via surveys of their parents and teachers), and scored an average of 210 points higher on the Scholastic Aptitude Test.)
Immediate gratification. Yeah yay me living in the now. Wish I were actually a little brainier to function like that too.
Stupid humans and 4 year olds.
I just know I was smarter when I was 4 years old.
