This writer looks to the horizon for opportunities to form an opinion. Little gives more pleasure than riding an opinion to shore.
It is exhilarating to be held up by the power and the momentum the opinion provides. Those who have not caught the wave tread water, and can only gaze as the rider flies past triumphant. The opinion rider is often moved to a point where they lose reason and don’t care!
Why spoil the ride with reason?
This blog provides a beach of opinions ridden to shore. Some opinions are formed by the power of the wave more than the substance of the thinking. You cannot pick and choose though. Opportunities that arise need to be seized. This moment of being alive will not last forever.
There is the size of the wave on the one hand, large, small, medium. There are big wave riders who can use the power of the wave to perform tricks and turns. Smaller waves can prove more persuasive in the long run.
As we ride the wave these pleasures add to the exhilaration. As the wave forms and rises and moves, so do we.
Of course, some opinions have no legs. You can see them coming, with their frothy tops, shapely prematurely. Surfer beware!
