i wish i could feel change. i can feel it coming. i can tell when it is about to happen. i am even able to identify the difference once it takes place. but i would love to be able to feel the exact moment in time when it happens. when skipping goes from being fun to the moment it is uncool. when did that happen? when i was in love to when i could not feel it any more.
was it gradual or was there a moment in time when it switched, crossed over, changed sort of like a light switch? and if you could pinpoint the moment would you stop it? change its course? shout "do over!"?
so much of our lives is programmed for us: drive here, not there. go this speed, not that speed. here are your choices - pick this one or that one. show up here and do this job. now i recognize complete disregard to society and the rules made to govern would result in complete and utter chaos. and quite frankly, i am not suggesting we not have rules.
but i am questioning why perfectly capable people give up. completely. is it a function of lazy? is it just too much effort to put out there especially when what you have isn't that bad after all. is it blissful ignorance?
do me a favor and make sure you are conscientiously making the decision to disengage. don't let it just happen . . . that would just be wrong.
