before the deluge

I had a thought last night, as I often do, before going to sleep. Now let us see if we can't summon up the line of logic and thought processes of that. I did have another night of crazy dreams though.
I believe it started with the notion of understanding a person based on the experiences of their life- environmental conditioning. To accept, or understand, the way a person is does not, necessarily, require one to know the "why" behind the way they act, but rather to merely to understand the way they operate based upon the ever growing decisions and actions that you see them make. Furthermore, the understanding of past events is not required to help a person change. So I said to myself, "The why of a person is negligible. All you need is current facts and a view of what is to be changed- however this requires a keen objective eye."
And so goes the world, as people do. It isn't required to know how the world came to be in the position it finds itself now, we merely need to understand the way it is, and the way we should want it. Then we are capable of plotting a course based on the current position to the desired location.
It was nice to have a clear train of thought that actually seems relevant.
