TREE 728: Nopinionated
fforest.substack.com
I can form an opinion
instantly.
Like boiling water and
a Bombay Bad Boy –
burning hot,
super spicy,
lacking nutrition,
a rich source of belching regret.
Lately I’ve been trying,
with occasional success,
to have fewer opinions,
to stop locking in my ideas
while in a state of ignorance,
to learn first and talk later –
much much later,
to replace hot takes
with burning
curiosity.
Okay, but here’s a hot take anyway. The most important thing, when drawing a male humanoid robot, is prominent pectoral shapes. Drawing mice is a free-for-all. Make your own rules.
The world is not facing an opinion shortage. But there is always a need for more curiosity. Curiosity can grow into knowledge, creation and wisdom – things that endure.
Grow slowly

Sadghuru teaches that once an opinion is formed, you lose perspective. I have found more fun in observing than forming opinions. It’s freed up room or space for the curiosity you refer to. Nice pecs🤜🏻
May I quote you on Facebook? “The world is not facing an opinion shortage. But there is always a need for more curiosity. Curiosity can grow into knowledge, creation and wisdom – things that endure.” I will put your name after it. This post is a great one. A book of poems by Mr Gill, please?
