I’m constantly amazed by the power of the human condition. How our spirit and drive push us towards excellence. And how, under the most adverse conditions, we find in ourselves with the drive to change our very reality into something better. When we’re down and out we find that we’re wise, intelligent, powerful, cunning, thorough, enlightened, and immortal.

But when we overcome our dire circumstances we seem to loose our drive. We loose our cutting edge. And we find in ourselves only the desire to do as much of nothing as possible anymore.

It’s almost as though we, as a species, have a need to exist in a state of turmoil. And it’s as though we cannot be at our best unless it’s in the circumstances of also being at our worst.

We cannot see good without evil. We cannot see the contrast. It seems that also we cannot create good without evil. We get comfortable, and we allow our weeds to grow in our lawns, once the skies are sunny.

I wish that we as a people did not require the worst to be the best. It’s an interesting thought. It’s cynical, and likely untrue on some levels and true on others. Perhaps tomorrow I’ll see the idea in a different light. Or perhaps tomorrow I’ll decide to think on more pleasant ideas.

Anyhow.
G’night
