Wonderfully Bad Ideas
A brief and silly exploration of whether an idea is good or bad and what to do about it.
--
Sometimes I stumble across ideas that seem, simultaneously, like a good and bad idea all rolled up into one. Suddenly, a whole elaborate plan develops. An exciting beginning with all kinds of interesting potential.
Dangerously enticing.
The up side is the open creativity and collaboration; an appeal to fervor and inspiration.
The down side is the reckless coloring across lines, blurring boundaries with fervor and inspiration.
I think I would do well to pause for a moment and think about this.
Having paused for a moment, I’ve decided I will tread carefully before wholeheartedly leaping into embracing the dangerously enticing bad idea. I’m confident this careful act of prudence will mitigate any possible damage from eventually doing what I already knew was a bad idea in the first place.
But so, so fun.
