The Anatomy of Distraction

Hmmm.  Now this looks interesting.
(As another shiny thing captures my attention)

I'll have to look into this. 
(As I enter full-scale planning mode)

Why, this is simply marvelous.
(As I fool my eyes and take the plunge)

OK, OK, I can do this.
(As I steel and will myself to succeed)

What joy!  How glorious !
(As I bask in my achievement, for a spell)

Look at this ! You must try it too.
(As I gloat and try to gain accolades)

Yes, I did that a while ago.
(As I smugly answer all their questions)

I think it will look good here.
(As I store it away, upon a physical or mental shelf)

I wonder what I saw in this ?
(As I discover it's inherent emptiness)

Hmmm.  Now this looks interesting.
(As I swing to another fascination)

REPEAT ABOVE - FOR ENTIRE LIFETIME

  1. Just a thought about how an ego shapes each activity and how it jumps.
