A close someone brought to my attention that my last post was rather depressing. Now, looking back on it just a few hours later, I see that as well. That was so not my point. By calling out the silliness of working toward non-lasting ends, I only meant to point out that we would all do well to realize that to some degree each of us has fallen victim to the belief that life is work or vice versa.
Its kind of a pipe dream that everyone should do something that they love and that all our efforts should be focused on some overarching goal. Its also a utopian ideal that all people should work for the betterment of humankind. If overall betterment was something people truly wanted then that desire would be reflected in the kind of goods demanded of the companies and firms that would produce them, ceteris paribus.
Okay, I realize that even this post is getting a bit gloomy. So, here's the point: we should realize that life is rather silly and that the point of life is not to spend all of one's time in a cubicle, an office, or even a boardroom but rather to get out from behind our desks, to run, to play, to love and laugh and cry and to be...just be.
