I waste numerous hours sitting and thinking and wondering about stuff. Stuff like, why people do some of the stupid things they do. Or, why people can't see how our freedoms are being chipped away and that we will all be living in a United States that seems like Iraq or Iran in a few years. I wonder why it's so difficult for me to do the things I need and want to do? Or why it's so difficult to stop doing the things that are not good for me like drinking coffee or eating fatty foods or just sitting and staring and wondering about stuff.
Another time waster is playing online computer games. All of them have a repetitive quality to them that trick us into thinking that each time we play we are doing or seeing something different. How clever. Life is like that too. We are like blood filled, skin covered robots with bones that are programmed from birth to do the same things over and over again. The odd thing is that we can do the same thing over and over again and expect different results all of our lives. Are we trained to be insane?
I keep wondering why we as a society put our lives in the hands of people who don't care about us. Like congress. The Republicans and some of the Democrats. People who have what they need...for now at least, and who feel content playing with the lives of people who are struggling to get their needs met. Why we are content to believe what these people say is beyond me. It might be more reasonable to look at what it is that they do...or don't do.
I think that President Obama is right to try to encourage us to be proactive. It is only by speaking out that we will be able to maintain what freedoms we have left. We have quite a few left...but we risk losing those if we don't open our eyes and our mouths. I'm going to call my Congressman and Representatives today. Well, maybe...I have so many other things to do, that I've been procrastinating about.
I'm wondering if blogging is a waste of time? Hmm, I don't know, but I'm going to keep blogging because I like it. It makes me feel good...unlike playing computer games and simply wondering about stuff.
I was reading Deepak Chopra's book Reinventing the Body, Resurrecting the Soul- How to create a new you. I read the first half but, couldn't really get into the second half. It talks about relying on yourself and not a Higher Power. I've struggled for a long time to gain an adequate concept of a Higher Power, I'm not giving up on that now.
I have to rely on a Higher Power. That is what powers the soul. If we had the spiritual power to fuel our own souls, there would be no need for a Higher Power...or a God or Prayer or Meditation. We'd be our own self contained power houses. I feel like I wasted my 16.00 bucks.
If there was a recipe for living your life perfectly, I'd think that someone would have written it out by now. There is now way to live our lives perfectly. We are not perfect human beings...whatever that means. Perfection is probably in the eye of the beholder. Perfection can only be perceived by the one creating what they deem to be perfect. I guess. If I am not perfect, can I even perceive perfection? How can that word exist in any language?
I'm done...
Can time really be wasted?
