Why Bother, #602

In this episode, we address apathy. Some people live much of their lives not really striving for anything beyond the next moment. You are allowed to do that. If you do that, what you have when you die is only what you have created. If you strive for nothing, you create nothing and you take nothing with you. We have all yearned for something. Yearning is only the start. Next comes the choice to do. The decision to act on the yearning. We are given a desire to love, create and serve from our first breath. Modern western culture warps that into a desire for things. Why not choose to develop that which matters most? We are built to be creative and to live in service of our fellow beings. So do it.
