Chris Gaither

You’re Never Ready to Have Children or to Assume Command

You know a civilization by its assumptions
and ours assumes a great deal of debt
 
To finance that debt we assume
that the best predictor of future behavior
is past behavior
 
And while you can make a great deal of money
assuming that the caterpillar
will spend one more day in its cocoon
that doesn’t make it a safe assumption
