As I keep growing older and learn more about the world, and I'm sure that a healthy metabolism goes a long way, I've been thinking about the greatest lie in the world.
I'm talking about the lie that says you have to be or do something, or you aren't living up to your potential.
I'm starting to realize, everybody's purpose is entirely different. You wouldn't expect a mother to play the role of the father, and you wouldn't expect any different of the father.
It's paradoxical though; the more I learn about the capability of human beings, how we can achieve anything we want, the more I realize it doesn't matter if we fail. Rather than depressing, however, this feels liberating.
I've been reading a bit about Baruch Spinoza, and how he was persecuted for stating that everything in nature intrinsically reflects God by its ordered structure. He advised that a wise man remove himself from the moment and look at the bigger picture; he will realize that everything has its place.
I think that's what we're doing here; rather, that's what lowering the sympathetic system does. It allows you to grasp the foolishness in sprinting everywhere. What do you guys think?
