Shakespeare once wrote that '[t]here is nothing good or bad, but thinking makes it so.' Thinking is our greatest virtue and vice. It helps us to see beyond what some deem to be common sense. It plagues us when we dwell on alternate pasts or possible futures.
I let go of thought for an hour or two before a function and wandered around Circular Quay to savour the bite of the cold evening air, which snapped me out of thought about incomplete tasks and other pressures. Roaming and taking pictures of surrounding, grand and unchanging buildings lent the evening stability that would later be eroded by clusters of conversations in flux.
Yet in the end, throughout the stroll and the function, I ended up reinforcing that only hard work will set me free from anxiety. At least until I depart for Europe in 2014.
