Once again I have failed to religiously continue to blog my thoughts and feelings here. I think it is because for quite some time (the past couple months), I have allowed myself to become consumed with the exact thing which I described as a trap for most people. It is difficult to continue to be a thinker. It is so much easier to be consumed with the world as it is.
Let me explain this in a different way....
People, a group which includes myself, get trapped in their lives. They see only what they allow themselves to see. We wake up, go to work, come home, and sleep. Sure we leave time for entertainment, but it is mostly mindless entertainment; television, movies, video games, things of that nature, but rarely do we sit back and think. We don't think enough. I don't think enough. I believe it is thought that motivates and excites us on a core level that perhaps we don't understand. Sure, some people are driven to excel by making more money, or owning bigger homes and even getting better stuff, but what is more exciting and more motivation than thought?

I came to this realization myself about a year ago.. and radically changed my life. It's been difficult at times, but I am sure happy. Ironic I think - the less I have and more I've let go of, the happier I am. I always thought it was the other way around..
