Laziness: I h8 U

I've witnessed a fair bit of duff-sitting-upon. Whatever the reason (because I certainly fall into it when I can justify a break for my wee brain), it led me to examine why I abhor it so. I guess because it generally signifies one's inability to get out of their own head (ME-think) and tackle the world's problems. Because, as my dad says, "we need to get a man on it". Or two. Or 6 billion. And fast. We need to look into the future, see that we've f#%*ed it up good, and get to work a-fixin' it.
As days go by I become more and more allergic to sitting and letting the world go idly by. I find value in contemplation, not complacency.
James G. March inspired me in this regard. He begins the term in his sought-after classes (Stanford) with "I am not now, nor have I ever been, relevant". IE: I don't have the answers. Seek them yourself! It's better this way!
Marsh finishes the year quoting Étienne Pivert de Senacour:
"Man is perishable. That may be; but let us perish resisting, and, if nothingness is what awaits us, let us not act in such a way that it would be a just fate."
Amen!
