slow life down

[psycojones]

we rush all the time to get to our next day off. for most people it is a five day work week, so basically your rushing through five of your days to enjoy only two days. what a waste of life. in the game of life, the finish line is death. so why not enjoy the race.

Indeed.

I think Arthur Miller says in Death of a Salesman something about working 50 weeks a year for two weeks holiday.

Progress and the Protestant work ethic have a lot to answer for!

You have dragged Christian-bashing to every single one of your posts. Just an observation.

Anyways, I actually like the week better. I end up not doing anything on the weekends, so I get depressed. During the week I stay busy, but unless you have some money, the weekends kind of blow.

Sometimes I don't like weekends. Specially when the only thing interesting to watch is American Idol (now you can see how pathetic my life can be).

I never felt that I rushed my days, but I always feel that the days are the one who always trying to rush me! I don't really have something to be really rush for actually!

If you don't run, you won't win.

That's the philosophy about it, even if there's no prize.

hmm... im not sure i understand this one... could someone please explain this... sorry, sometimes im just slow at getting things...

[imthefoolonthehill]

apparently, they think they can 'win' life... but in order to do so, you have to hurry, or run.

Sometimes it's nice to rush...it makes me feel alive. When I have nothing to do for too long I start feeling useless/depressed. Though at the present moment I'd like to slow down a bit...:rolleyes:

Oh c'mon IWilKiku, that's a very poor observation. Its far from true that my posts have been based on Christian-bashing. I just lay into poor theories that's all, whether they are beliefs, philosophies or other viewpoints. Secondly, "every single one of your posts", you obviously need to be a little less selective.

The thing is Faye I always think that the 'winning' thing is always based on other people's/society's standard. I'lll never win if I was judged by other people's standard.

[psycojones]

that is not true subterranean, you may win if those "other people" judge you in their favour. your thinking reminds me of immanuel kant. please take that as a compliment. althought i find some peoples answers to questions, quotes out of books, for the most part everybody seems to be indepndent thinkers, and i love independent thinkers. i feel it is importained to learn from those before us, but i also feel it is just as importain to think for ourselves, that way we show our independence.

I get your point jones. Indeed I can always ignore other people's and determine my own winning qualifications and finish line. The thing is who am I kidding? Im a winner by my own standard...
