"The Daoist point is not to step back to a perspective that catches a long-term developmental pattern, although discerning such patterns is helpful. The Daoist rather wants to discern the rhythm with which the Dao's pulses change perspectives, achieving and then loosening harmonies to press on toward different achievements. The danger in the high integrative perspective focused on long-term developmental pattern is that it misses, or obscures, or deliberately misrepresents the subtle openings of spontaneity, the empty places of nonbeing where real intervention can be made."

In addition, when we focus too far off into the future, we have a propensity for tripping over our own feet which knocks us off our path. ;)
