Fool’s Paradise

Lately it seems there is so much suffering, depression and devastating events in the lives of many. This got me to thinking about how to help and perhaps help solve some of the issues with those close to me. I can be so nosey and quite the little butt-insky! That doesn’t stop me from wanting desperately to help my dear ones out of whatever misery they suffer.

The fool is a card of complete innocence and non-knowledge in any particular issue and therefore, can be the best source for new and exciting ideas to conquer major hurdles. The fool has no external influences, ulterior motives or ‘in-the-box thinking.’ I’m sure we all know someone we consider a fool in this regard. Not necessarily a complete moron or idiot, although this type of person is ripe with alternative thinking, that can be quite astoundingly profound, if you just listen.

Not everything in life will make complete sense or even relate to ‘you’ at any given time…or so it may seem.

Listening to a fool, moron or idiot might seem like a bad idea, but it’s the listening part that is key. You see, I have a tendency to not listen as much as I should. Or, listen to the wrong people with the same, conventional and typical ideas that come from living life in a box. It’s time for breaking out of the box and really listening to ideas that may at first seem uncomfortable, but can yield the greatest, most fantastic results.

Never underestimate the golden (and simple) ideas that come from the fool. And, know that there is a fool out there with the best idea or advice you need right now.  Listen with an open mind and heart and you’ll ‘get it.’

Remember, not everything that happens in your own realm of existence, is for your benefit or for your sorrow. Sometimes the things we go through in life are for the benefit and learning of someone else. When you question “why” don’t just question “why me.” you should be including in your questioning, “who else is involved and why.”

This little tidbit should help clear up a few nagging issues for you, for the time being.
