    Complete complacentry

    Some people go through their entire lives not doing anything.

    Complete complacentry. Whatever comes to them, they take. Complain their entire lives but do nothing about it. The power of choice, consciousness is what makes us human, the only thing in fact, and is also the #1 neglected factor that we use.

    The mold of society follows the loudest, most powerful alpha male, following their animal primal instinct at all times. Copulate, eat drive-through dollar menu ****, get jacked up on hard drugs, major in business, make lots of money, die. Think for yourself, question existence, and you’ll realize that there’s a lot more to life than going for point A to B, more than waking up by your ****ing alarm clock, getting to your 9-5 job and getting drunk, and find out that it’s not the destination, it’s the journey.

    If you don’t like something, change it. Speak extrovertiavly, splash out whats on your mind. It is not a matter of having a powerful or a weak personality, it is the power of expressing ourselves.The human brain is a growing organism, the more your put in, the more wiser, more powerful you become.

    “Empty your purse in your mind, and no one can rob you of your riches”

    Pay attention to details, to tiny tiny details that make up your day, and find out that it’s the little things that really make the difference. Amount of interaction is what makes the call, ultimately chaning, molding our enviroment and surroundings to our ways.

    Appreciate your intellect and make something of it.

    Stop the daily haste for a time period.


    THINK.


    And find out what really makes us human.

    Complacency? You have the option not to do anything, too. Sometimes 'let's see what happens' is a valid choice.

    no offence meant but how old are you? 20? 21?
    do you live with your parents?
    if not then i applaud you, you are looking after yourself and facing all of the challenges of real life.
    if you can solve your problems by thinking and expressing yourself then you are a lucky man.
    With families, rent or morgages and bills to pay most people do not have the luxury of choice.

    While I agree that most people don't have the cojones to jump off the cliff of unknown future possibilities out of either fear or complacency, or complacency brought on by fear... get a kid, a family, and your perspective switches from conquest to survival real quick. The need for stability is what will feed a kid.

    Not risks. Not unless you have an understanding significant other.

    Or your risks pay the hell off per usual.

    Either way... sup Fospher.

    lay off the peppers little F...

    non-complacency is certainly related to contributions.
    contributions to the world. to those around you. to your family.
    your statement seems to be wildly focused on yourself.
    if fact, i think it's down right selfish.

    so i ask, if we all were so ego-centric in our pursuit of enlightenment, who would drive the bus?
    your not going to get far in your journey without the bus driver.

    your thoughts are great, don't get me wrong.
    it's just that you share them with every other 19-year-old that's ever lived.
    let us know where your journey has taken you in a decade or so...

    easy. the most egocentric one that's declared himself the best driver and puts himself in charge of getting to that destination... the one that they choose.

    I almost made this political... I'll yield this time.

    Hehe. A person very very rarely lives up to the dreams they have for themselves in their younger years (but big dreams go a long way toward getting half way there!) So, going all out all the time generally lasts about as long as the lizard king lasted in life.

    And actually, I think the naked Indian butt helps convey the buttness that was undoubtedly a fairly strong aspect of morrisons life. That it was an indian butt really focuses in on the spirituality behind him too.

    You must venture to find. Examine your first instinct, and create a second one.

    The world which we occupy has grandeur far beyond that seen or heard by a "everyday" life.

    ooo I like this talk, but I think the all the old guys are right.

    I can imagine thinking like this until I have a child, then my world would revolve around them, not myself. Give them the oppurtunity to have these thoughts
