And inevitably I must admit, despite all of my denial and disapproval and kicking and screaming,… that there is truly no substitute for ACTION.
The world’s most profound thinkers and philosophers have gathered data on systematic variations throughout cultures, throughout time; they have contemplated for eons how life began, what is the purpose of all existence, and what is our role in this massive undertaking that we call life.
And yet, throughout the ages, and through the archives of information that may have been compiled, those great minds are no closer to understanding the deepest philosophical questions than they were at the inception of reasoning mind itself.
I propose that it’s because we have valued the use of the human brain as the fundamental requirement for an elevated societal framework and the sole accepted form of academic currency in our times.
We value more the thinkers than the innovators, and yet it is the innovators that take the information which the thinkers are too busy contemplating, and run at full force,full speed ahead with the proper machinations to bring form into a previously abstract thought form.
I believe deeply that there should be a balance between both, yet it’s increasingly more difficult to find these two worlds dancing together.
Either the reasoning logical mind takes over entirely and stagnates the creative action toward realization, or the innovator disregards the ingenuity of his own mind and produces product based upon the thoughts of another…stolen goods.
Can there be a marriage of both? Can the mind and the motivated action work symbiotically and form an alliance for the greater good? Or indeed for good of providence and progress…?
I am a thinker…I swim in the depths of the oceans of life and gather and formulate and contemplate and dwell in the vastness of possibilities. Yet I lack the incentive to act upon my thoughts, to bring form to the formless through inventiveness.
And as life becomes less complex and clarity presents itself regarding the ways in which this world may be improved, I am making more room for action and less room for inactivity.
An article inspired by the realization of my pesky human faults, and motivated by a desire to be more, see more, act more.
Until next time,
