Pony common sense
Is all society needs
The sun is up and it’s promising to be another beautiful day to say “hello world!” It seems worthwhile to venture out of the stable, so I carefully take a few steps, stick my neck out of the stable and confirm that this is the time to explore. I then stride uphill with increasing confidence to eventually enjoy nature’s best: gorgeous, sun-soaked mountain views, all while ample grass is available to snack on. By the end of the day, I contently and graciously return to my abode.
The day afterward is a different story, though. From the wee hours of the morning I see towering clouds approaching, so I stay near the stable. I just know that this is not the time to hike to a hilltop and I take care of myself by hanging out in my familiar shelter. When the thunderstorm breaks loose, I feel chills of fear, yet I have the comfort of being at low risk of incurring any bodily injury. Once the storm has passed, strips of blue sky emerge and I enjoy the calm, taking a nibble from the verdant pasture around from time to time. By being aware and adapting to my surroundings, I am able to live a long and fruitful life.
Now you wonder why I am making those decisions, right? Why don’t I hike up right before the storm breaks loose? How do I know to do what and when? For sure, I must have listened to the government advisory. Or even more likely, I must have recently read the latest publication by Harvard scientists in the American Journal of Equine Welfare that states that cisgender domesticated horses are 22% [CI 19%-25%] more likely to be struck by lightning than trans wild horses, so I followed the science. Sure, that is what I did. Or not. Well, the thing is: there are no publications nor any radio or TV in my stable. And even if I had them, I would not bother to use them. Because I have superior guidance: intuition and instinct, which can be more succinctly referred to as pony common sense.
We ponies all possess this capacity. Yet sometimes, we look across the fence. And sometimes, we exchange some thoughts. As each of us observes what goes on in the wide world outside, we are increasingly alarmed. People always had a harder time to be in the present and to have situational awareness than we did, but they seem to be completely losing touch with their innate capabilities. Stemming from that motivation, we intend to share our insights on the state of affairs in the human sphere, which is pretty dire. But there is hope, because all people need to do is to find back their age old capacity to connect to the universe, which will inevitably restore their common sense.
