So I was recently trying to find a certain pair of pants, but they weren’t in the place I thought I had left them. I proceeded to check all of the reasonable spots they could be: my closet, dresser drawers, and luggage bag. Still unable to find my pair of pants, I stopped and had to think all over again. There were no other places they could be, and I checked all of the reasonable locations. I considered double-checking those places again, but hesitated. Reluctantly, I looked again in my closet, and behold, I found my pants, hiding behind some other inferior and less desirable pants. If I had gone with my conviction that the pants were not in those locations, I would never have gotten them back.
It’s always better to find something and be wrong than lose it and be right.
