i just realized a simple truth about life that many others have already. it answers my confusion of yesterday's post. the grass is greener on the other side. i've always tailed towards one side for so long and never truly had the true experience of the other.
there's the side of productivity and always wanted to do something, wanting to learn, wanting to seize and move forward, full of purpose, full of excitement. the common negativity is that one often becomes stressed, overburdened by taking on too much, burnt out, depressed from frequent failures, understanding one's own lack of capability. the other side is the chilled, relax, let's play some games and have fun and simply enjoy each other's presence. it requires no planning, not much effort and much freedom. everyone secures each other with love and feels comfortable being around each other saying whatever, doing whatever and not risk being rejected. the common negativity is that it often lacks purpose, it often seems to create a standstill and breeds selfishness. it does not tackle the issues of the world, it does not feed the poor, and it does not change the world. and sooner or later, that security of love breaks down. one can assume which side i most identify with.
how this fits into God's plan for humanity and living life to the fullest? i believe it's the first side for 6 days and the latter side for the 7th day. i believe the latter side does get mixed into those 6 days, but not to a high degree. or maybe i'm simply justifying my lack of capability to spend each day just chilling and having fun.
