You must act to exist.

Are we wasting time, or do we have a purpose?

If we’re just wasting time, then it makes sense to pass the hours buried in the nonphysical. Instead of doing anything, we want to “relax,” sitting in front of the TV, not having to think. We’re not building any skills, just letting our minds drain away. We may think it’s rest, but don’t we have sleep for that?

In fact, sleeping too much is just as detrimental. We do nothing. We do not think.

If it’s possible at all that we have a purpose, wasting time is idiotic. We have a limited amount of time, and if nothing else, we should build the skills we need to expand it.

If there is no purpose, then anything but pure, blissful happiness is also a waste of time. Spending any moment unhappy when it’s so simple to become happy is a terrible thing to do.

If you have a purpose, it’s silly to spend any moment not working towards it. If you don’t, it’s silly to spend any moment not being happy.

Neither of these possibilities include idle sitting time. They both involve movement, action.

Bottom Line: You cannot properly exist, whether or not you have a central purpose, without constantly doing something you like. Following your passion is not an option. It’s a necessity.

Nice.

You’re amazingly hot, intelligent, and you have the capacity to figure out basic truths on your own.

I hope you go very, very far in life. :)

Hey, sittin is fun.

Have you ever meditated? Holy crap, the first time I did was amazing. Became one with the universe. Had the tightness in my chest disappear. Brain fog blown away. All negativity poofed.

My heartrate was so low during and afterward I wouldn’t even call it down to “normal”, but like being awake while asleep. Or on heroin.

Much like many a heroin user’s experience, I’ve never duplicated that first experience, but it sure still feels hella nice.

Meditation is still doing crap, lmfao. It’s active. Activeness rules.

As long as you’re involved in something, you’re good.

Meditation is fun, but it just calms me down. That whole one-with-the-universe thing happens more often when I’m thinking. In my flow state.

Goddamn, I just love thinking.
