There is a type of people who tend to postpone things.
And they do not understand why, later on, things in their lives become worse and worse.
Like an installment on a loan that is not paid on time, and the interest begins to accumulate…
Like an overripe pear that remains untouched in the fruit bowl and starts to rot…
Like arriving at the bus stop just after the bus has already departed…
Like an illness that has been speaking about itself for a long time, but has not been heard, and begins to creep through the whole body…
This is postponement.
Missing the moment, waiting beyond what is necessary, out of fear and inertia.
There is a time when pears ripen, and the only thing we can do is wait.
But there is also a time when pears become overripe and are no longer good to eat.
The duality of life is expressed also in relation to the right time for action.
How can we recognize whether we are in a process of ripening or of over-ripening?
By looking for fear or laziness in our waiting.
If we find them, then we are dealing with unhealthy postponement.
