Okay, so instead you decide you're going to aim up. Now you can leave that kind of amorphous because you could do that in a spirit of ignorance. You could say, well, I would like things to be as good as they could be, let's say, Although I'm not sure what that means and I'm not sure how to do it, but you open the door that way to the beginnings of something approximating fantasy.

Now, then you've set your perceptions and your imagination to work on a particular project. The goal is to walk uphill, whatever that means, to clarify the nature of what uphill is and to discern a strategy, okay? And then you said you walk this route, right?
