Everything is easy if you are crazy, Nothing is easy if you are lazy.
- lazy to source this because the internet is crazy
The day has really been bright
Passing around a lot of delight
Now, it is starting to get dark
Is it already turning its back?
Could this be the last of glows?
For all I see are creepy shadows
Promise me it's not finally bye
That you'd be back with a smile.
Sorry for the diversion, I just need to take that off my drafts. :)
I could remember #dreemflare asking to write something on this about a year ago. Ah... Memories! So loving and missed.
Life as I do believe to be governed by the Supreme is filled with turns of events. A lot of things just keep happening within the unending cycle of past, present and future. - I know it is going to end someday, but for now, we are still living through it.
This takes me into the fixed and dynamic areas of what we get to live, referring to fate and destiny respectively. The difference between both is well spelt out all over the www, so I would just skip that here.
It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.
We are destined to become who we decide to be. The choice to decide how we would like to live our lives, outside the boundary of what fate already has in place, is in our hands. Most times, a lot of things are expected to happen by chance and we keep waiting for it till it is late. Whereas, those things could have been achieved earlier with the right choice.
Imagine having a book to read and you keep reading the same page over and over. How interesting would that page have to be for you not to find the time to turn to a new one?
Time is a luxury that many can't afford. Perhaps that is the reason for being stuck reading the page that has the work|rest cycle drawn on it.
People change when they have no options left. In as much as the wheels are rolling, we don't see the need to change lanes.
People who don't have enough to rely on are running the lengthy race to make ends meet. While those who have sufficient means are busy trying to keep that lofty status. We just keep doing the same things over and over until we are exhausted.
Work, then rest and get back to work again. The cycle goes on, and trying to change that is one of the last thing that crosses our mind.
Back to the question. Yes, people are really stuck in a work|rest cycle. It just happen to be the default choice that's easy to stick to. I don't even know if other choices do exist as a replacement for work|rest.
Even if we do find the time to open another page or rewrite another script, it's probably going to be another work|rest cycle.
