I love the freedom of not having to worry about the need for me to participate in a rat race of 9-5 anymore and I hope the same feeling for all of my peers and friends.
It’s as if you’ve been told you have to keep running on the hampster wheel all of your life to keep your lights on and to stay fed and then you realize you don’t need to do that. We can take our passions and our skills and our creativity and we can do all of these things
On our own time, on our own schedule, when it works for us. And we can create beautiful new things. And we have time to think for ourselves. And we innvote. And we learn. And we fail. We improve. We communicate. And we live a truly human life. When we run the rat race
We don’t live our life. We live the life of the machine into which we were born. Truly, what options do we have if we don’t say, “no, this machine doesn’t make any sense, I think we can do better.”
And even in saying that, what good does it do if you don’t propose something that can benefit all at the expense of none? We have to do better as a collection of people on a tiny rock spinning through space. We have to realize how small we are in both a cosmic
and in an intellectual sense. We have to realize that a majority of our thoughts aren’t really are own but rather the thoughts of others either living or dead simply respoken through our own dialects. We must realize that in order to advance, we must remain humble.
We must do better to cooperate and to help each other succeed.
We’re coming up to a time where vehicles will drive themselves, factories will build and run themselves, meat will grow itself, energy will be harnessed throughbnature that we can use to power these almost meaningless but at the same time most significant inventions humankind
has ever created. Cell phones and the technology of social media are what appear to be the most significant advancements of humankind, at the very least in a technological sense. But what about the pyramids? Could we build the pyramids without computers and cell phones?
I would love to continue this thought storm and certainly will on my blog and I’ll post it back here as well. What a beautiful thing it is to be alive and to just experience life. We need to learn to appreciate just being. Go spread some kind thoughts tomorrow and see how
much better you feel. Intentionally attempt to lack all selfishness and just help someone for no reason or give someone a compliment. Just see how good that feels. Start small and then keep going. Good night.
