hmmm,
hadn't really planned on posting today but i had a thought as i was bimbling, a word i picked up from my tattooist Sarah, along in the supermarket with my Ipod in listening to a choice selection of 80's music, every now and again i like to and a few other random tunes for my amusement......
and then it struck me like a shot between the eyes!
i was watching the folks shopping, just observing people going about their business, and it was amazing just how aimless the people wondering around were....they drifted around like sheep, with not a care or thought....just a dull, vacant look glazing over their eyes.......existing, not living...this seems odd to me, maybe not others, but i always like to learn and struggle to improve myself.....Nietzche and all that
and i was wondering how in the hell one can go through life like that????? i understand some folks want to experience a new thing frequently, and there are those of us who prefer a slightly different approach and enjoy the experience of a journey towards a long term goal and the satisfaction that comes with the achievement of the goal....sort of a quality over quantity appraoch
now i understand that i am making a judgement and that these are never good at the best of times, but it still strikes me that on a fairly frequent basis people just coast through, never struggling to better themselves or trying to achieve and it pisses me off.
