Open your eyes and look within:
Are you satisfied with the life you’re living? Huh!
We know where we’re going;
We know where we’re from.
We’re leaving Babylon, y’all!
We’re going to our Father’s land.
–Bob Marley

Good stuff here Darryl, We do have pre-conditioned responses that automatically come out. We have gone through situations so many times that we just expect to hear the same thing.

On a cycling related note, we do this as well. Have you ever seen a guy on the side of the road with a flat tire or resting and as you pass by, at full speed of course, asked hey you ok? Then you don’t even wait for the answer.

I realized that this was happening a few months ago and talked about it briefly in my post on trail courtesy here. http://www.texasmountainbiketrails.com/trail-courtesy/
9 times out of 10 we get the same answers like thanks I have everything or yeah just resting. We completely expect to hear that answer when we ask them. I can recall asking someone once and when they said they needed a hand I was already 50 yards past them and almost fell over my handlebars trying to stop and turn back around. That answer legitimately shocked me.

Sometimes I feel like a cycling monk on my bike. I often feel so clear and enlightened while out there.
