Engagement

Doing constructive things—Always!—is vitally important.  They don’t have to be big, bold, monumental endeavors, but you should never allow yourself to just lie around reading, watching television, and contemplating the meaning of life non-stop.  An element of work and physical creativity and corporal engagement must enter the equation at some point.  Domestic livestock may be afforded the “luxury” of a life predicated upon, no…..showcasing lassitude and abject detachment and utter uncaring, but I feel safe in saying we humans were created for reasons far more ennobling than mere existentialism.  If you want to live the life of a cow, be prepared to submit to being milked twice a day every day of the week…..before being summarily sent to the slaughterhouse the minute your daily production begins to drop off.  You say you’re a bull so you don’t have to worry about that heinous fate?  Well then, your visit to the slaughterhouse will arrive much sooner!
