Plague

I was going to name this blog Content(with much consideration, I do not believe I need to make this point, as it is point-less and would infer that I keep up with this blog as I should and I write insightful things that more than myself would want to listen to, and I'm starting to count myself out of that one.

But, Content. There are too many of us who are content with the regular day and the constant motion of nothing in our lives. Thus, there is a plague of content(adv)(not noun). We are content to be whatever we want to be while just doing the same thing thats been done before. So, a constant repitition of nothing, just movement, in no direction and for no motive. Well, there's always a motive, but there is always a greater motive to act on a bigger dream/want/even need.

I don't write much at the times I start to be satified by the things around me, or too tired from them. Rethinging that thought, I actually can list millions of reasons why I don't write, or for that matter, don't do much that is productive outsiding of work(which is highly unfulfilling for any of my needs), and providing the basic needs of life. An even bigger contribution to my lack in writing, is I feel my ability is a downfall, thus I'd rather only produce a good product. This goes along with guitar, spanish, working out, continuing my education, even starting my cpa, everything(well, all that I would like to accomplish, hopefully we can bring it down to my personal level for a second)

We want to exist in a society that moves us forward, not us moving forward, but our enviroment is the one acting upon us. Granted, as I generalize, which I do, and in my naivity, also produce a lower grade product, I believe these words, or at least think them. But as I generalize, this does not apply to all, actually I run across many people who break my assumption everyday, but I am in the white collar working class, the bottom, yes, but I'm there, for better or worse(and most days its the latter, but thats to be expected, we're animals doing the jobs of the neurons in our brains(what?)).

Well, unfortunately, we live in the world, and the world has a poverty rate of some
percentage that CNN might tell me that would cause me to instantly cry. But this world, and our society, reflects this a hundred fold, as there is such a misguided balance of wealth(and power). (please don't read this and point wealth and all of my references to cash related items as purely that, but the lifestyle and the means ones are given.) This inbalance, is due to many factors as well, but one fact(or crazy opinion made up in my lost little head) is that most do not have the work ethic to strive to not be content with the whole, their life, their livelihood, and theirs and the people's around them's wellbeing. However, just to throw in a counter, or more of a justification, most have many societal, relational, and personal influences that affect their outcome, beliefs and motivations.

The inbalance in economy and status is due to most's lack of effort to create something better, which cannot just come in one aspect of one's life, but once a specific part is worked on(if the motivation is there, and the plague has not grabbed hold of them(I don't believe it's that serious, actually, it is)), work on the next.

We are in constant motion, i.e. time is in constant motion, so our lives should be as well. So, to be content, is not a motion but a lack of motion, or more so, a lack of productive motion. A friend of mine once put it right, 'Be happy with what you have, but never be content'.
