Another day I sit in my chair. My mind pushes and pulls me like a magnet in front of the computer screen. It is there I can compensate my inaction for so many little actions that lead to nothing; no result. I can pretend that I am doing something but the empty clicks lead to rabbit holes that end in starting over.
My thoughts are mixed with resentment toward myself and things outside myself. It puts me into a whirlwind of unanswered tasks and decisions. The combination is a fizzy concoction for paralysis. I can see each thought passing by, each burns me like a ringmaster’s whip. The ego is telling me to stay down and drink the incoming digital eye feed from the illuminous fixture. “Let the emotion of the media determine your feeling throughout the day”. The caffeine does not help this paralysis, it only turns the speed up in my mind’s outsourced factory.
I am aware though! The awareness and recognition gives me an upper hand with this disease. The disease that so many let in to fester their mind. The inaction of most and the clean brain wash that satisfies their ego is an unfortunate situation for the masses. I can see this infecting the minds around me. The thought of reflection scares most of my kin because they do not want to face their thoughts. We must face our thoughts each day and not get distracted by the all mighty screen. The screen is everywhere. It runs the life of society. It teaches you to listen to the noise and never to the source that created it.
So now I anticipate and take action, so by the end of my day I can reflect towards improvement. This is what philosophy teaches you. This is the practicality that is left behind.
