One’s Obligation

  • Inertia is easily the most difficult force to overcome in nature. Sitting still and not doing anything to upset the status quo feels totally natural.  Moving…..acting dynamically…..changing the way things are currently done…..THAT feels distinctly unnatural.  Just reposing on one’s arse and permitting life to flow by unobstructed feels way more normal and comfortable than confronting it head-on and struggling unrelentingly to affect real change and real improvements in the lot of mankind, improvements which then can be passed along to one’s descendants with a clear conscience. Yet you MUST do this if you ever hope to amount to anything more than a cipher…..just another anonymous Social Security Number issued by the federal government, “living” a humdrum shadowy existence spent clinging parasitically to the gut of society–a pitiful saga which ultimately culminates in a pedestrian obituary showcasing a grainy black-and-white photograph taken decades earlier drowning amongst legions of others on the unread second page of the local daily newspaper.
