In Reply to: Do fours do this? posted by Claire on May 22, 2001 at 00:14:30:

: Hi,
: I am wondering something. I know that fours and fives are supposedly alike in some ways. I am wondering if fours rehash scenerios (like a re-living a pleasant encounter with someone special in thier minds)
: or if they just forge ahead with the present and future and leave the recent past behind.
: Also, do fours tend to think and prepare ahead of time about how to say something or do they just say what comes to them on the spur of the moment?
: Thanks,
: Claire

It would seem to be that a fours creativity and inspiration seeking would make them future-oriented in terms of where we think the best times of our life are. We really see the past as rather unhappy. As billy Joel said, "The good old days weren't all that good." That's not to say however, that we don't often reflect on sad moments of the past; we do. I know I do often as R & H say, sometimes take one special moment and milk it for all the emotional juice it's worth. As far as conversation goes, I rehearse, or more to the point fantasize, many a conversation in my head. Of course, the other person never really says what I would want them to say, so I must listen well, and then give my best authentic response in the moment.
Hope that helps,
Matt
