Patrons stopped, viewed, then walked through a curtain of beads. It was an interactive art exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. The curtain represented passages within a lifetime.
Most people don't rush into a marriage, or into a career, or into buying a property, or into any life affecting passage. First they pause and consider, like those patrons did.
Some people skip deliberation. They rush headlong into life's passages. Most of them, I suspect, later regret their haste. Some of them ruin their lives by jumping the gun.
Prudence tells us to pause and consider before undergoing a passage in life. We'll be happier for it.
