35 Weeks Pregnant And Sharp Pains

The Muse of leisure

"I love its convenience and find it very cumbersome to have to wit."
Molière, The Learned Ladies, 3.4

convenience is the enemy of the growing mind. Just as the coca leaf to hunger, the thirst for knowledge is the convenience of a drug. Although it makes you forget the hunger, he is always there, until one starved to death one day, or at least is getting thinner and thinner ...

"If I think or not?"

convenience, or, in this context, "the voice inside you" is seductive. The large and most profound questions of philosophy, quantum physics and just everything is up to the limits or even outside of our minds are hard, they cause a headache and sleepless nights. Is not it much more comfortable with the idea that one can not answer them anyway, and if so, of what relevance it would Not to have for us, nothing of the relativity that would accompany it, lie down and indulge in doing nothing?
And if it was not the leisure, the indulging, then it is the "passive mind" that is so seductive. Prefer to read a philosophical book about latent thoughts and ideas to see confirmed even think about the issues and would rather see a film about the achievement of greater things than even try to reach higher. Is not it so? During the holidays, it was hard for me, once again really think about things. While I was overcoming the "physical pig dog" that is, the exercise and walking less difficult, but the overcoming of the "spiritual pig dog" all the more. There were many occasions-and under-walking in which I think would philosophize, or write to, but the temptation to drift in and enjoying the emptiness in the head was incredibly large. Likewise, I often had ideas for books, movies, photos, scenes ... in which I simply could not do convenient to write them down, let alone develop.
construed as I slowly, or it can at least understand when people do not profound philosophical questions or even to what lies on the borders of our minds, dare say it finds that is not a coward, but obviously not ehrenswert special but still a little questionable to explain to it humorous.
Yes, there was even the temptation to watch television and not to overcome to read books, because even on TV are often of interest (documentaries, Survival Series, etc.) which provide further bring, but even more passive, that is mentally or are less strenuous than books, since the audio component is supplied passively rather than interactive.
Perhaps it is after all, therefore, that I am among the school year and when fully utilized mentally then come the holidays, you probably need some rest and mentally, as it is comfortable if you work hard physically for a long time, then you will do in their free time probably for a while hard to overcome physical exertion.
So it's probably the stress, the hectic life that is fast, today's everyday life that brings with it, making for leisure, so the convenience of an unproductive time. In the hustle and bustle there is no room for meditation and serves the leisure of rest, they must serve the rest, and not to reflection and productivity.

now purely assumed there would be a kind of "divine Plan, "or seen quantum physics morphogenetic fields, on the principle of evolution is based, that is, when one of many countless ways to be successful (successful here one might also" synonymisieren with reproduction will ") proved to have, this is still evolving and / or more often is our penchant for convenience, or that the majority of the profound questions is out of the way or even ignored, due to the fact or even to wander into the religious, that we should leave those areas untouched, but there are outliers, rebels, PHILOSOPHERS will be and how it may, Sir Isaac Newton was one of these remarkable warriors. As much tormented him even one question-no matter how hopeless it seemed paradoxical or non-he has not given up and is her until he had a satisfactory, satisfactory answer, followed up as long as it has taken or might take.
Apparently I need that spirit practice a bit, making and whenever, as often occurs in me as the thought "What is really meant as gravity and how it really develops?" And I start to think, I even look again and even a few formulas, then dropping it again but somehow, because I always get into blind alleys and country as it is with many other topics.
It is this fighting spirit, and perhaps in some cases, an optimized potential that distinguish the great minds, the great thinkers and scholars of history and modern times, from the others. I can only repeat over and over again: The potential has (almost) all, dare to use it a few ...

Actually would anyone who really wants to mentally reach heights change his attitude or his life or slow pace so far that he has so much leisure that he can do more than just relax and it is downright boring, and he begins to think again. This is possible, whether through a world tour, as it has made Gregor Sieböck ("In Search of Slowness"), through the courage to modesty, or by, for example, is committed to Buddhism. To do this you would need to just have to overcome the baser ...
