The unexamined life. . .

Socrates was either right on or an idiot. How blissfully to go along each day without trying to figure out whether you are wasting your resources or not and whether it matters if you do or not. Or is it better to measure each day against the other and say "did I have a meaningful/impact-filled day today." I don't know, what do you think?

  1. I felt like I spent the last half of 26 years wasting my resources. Frustrating, demoralizing, demeaning.
    Difficult to find "bliss" in that pile of doo-doo.

  2. Bliss is often a "blister," a distended impression of what "should" be rather than what "is." Give me what is without the "it is what it is" freakin' t-shirt (which is more often an excuse to not DO anything about something you COULD do something about if you weren't so FREAKIn' lazy about it).
