Fae

It's straightforward enough to be the Cheshire Cat grinning. A stroll in the park to smile when you're winning. But when you find yourself irked and cursing the weather. You're unconsciously encompassed by the Fundamental Attribution Error. A theory purporting it's mostly all luck. Like getting that pay rise, or our wedding ring stuck. Carefully eluding unnecessary confrontation and hate. Then declaring a million and one times you don't exaggerate. Attempts to train the mind not to be bitter or pious. A desperate evasion of this confirmation bias. Blaming others for misfortune and ourselves for the good. A rephrasing of stereotypes to see things as we should. Whilst rejoicing achievements is admirable and just. Take a second to pause, exhale, reflect if you must. Content to live in the moment. This moment right here. With freedom of cognition. With our mental pathways clear. To be kind, where possible, in all circumstances. A non-judgemental stranger throwing uplifting glances.
