Rhinos have to deal with matters as they develop. Each Rhino is surrounded by a swirling cloud of happenstance, some of our own making, some not so much.
No matter how vigilant We are, Events can seem to tie us in a knot.
The solution to these irksome confrontations is always the same: Tomorrow!
Doubt is a key ingredient to Rhino Thought. We think We know something, but then again, maybe We left out some data, or a bit of wisdom which would sway our Conclusions.
So We pause for a jiffy to weigh the situation.
Rhinos can usually spare the time.
Mr. Galilei (b. 1564) said (in Italian): I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use. This seems inspirational to Rhino Mental Flexibility, which is indispensable, especially in trying times.
Galileo also made many inventions and observations about his world, leaps of imagination and faith in his own gifts. Inner Rhino on the job, right?
This is also National Gumdrop Day. Observe it in a way that suits you.
Rhinos are not prey to Envy. Almost ever. Still, it’s easy to understand that We are on the receiving end of a lot of Envy from round and about. It’s the price We pay for feeling good about ourselves.
What We say is: You can dress it up any way you like, but Envy is never pretty.
Rhinos are into Running, take our word for it. That said, there is often a question of A) are We running to get somewhere? B) Are We trying to get away from something? or C) are We just in a hurry to go, just for the going’s sake? Itchy feet?
One sure thing about Running: We get wherever sooner.
Please don’t ask what the virtue of that is.
Rhinos are plenty adaptable to circumstances; We have had to be for multi-millions of years. Sometimes things look rosy, sometimes not so rosy.
When Nature changes things up, We seek opportunities to adapt ourselves, or possibly relocate.
Boxed in, We make do with what’s available. Rhinos endure, as best We can.
Caligula was an Emperor of ancient Rome. He was hard to adore, though he thought he was a god. In time, everybody had had it with his pranks, so his guards killed him… in 41 AD.
Even back then, there was a Limit, you know?
For Rhinos, things can take an unexpected turn, demanding adjustment and reconfiguration and sometimes sedation. We don’t know what to think, or feel or expect: thus, Discombobulation.
It ain’t pretty, but there it is. Our wits are on Overload.
Timing is often a crucial factor in the course of a Rhino’s life. For instance, what if Today is Your Best Day Ever?
Wouldn’t it be too bad if you hadn’t noticed it as it wandered by?
That’s right. Time to pay attention to the present.
Though it is a pleasure to present oneself nicely, Adversity is not impressed by appearances, nor by good spelling.
Adversity has a system all its own, which no Rhino has yet figured out.
