I was sitting here this morning trying to figure out why I've had such a lack of ambition lately. I go to work, come home, eat, shower, check my computer to see what's been happening here on Zubby and elsewhere, and then find myself fighting to stay awake. Sure, working 10 hour days can really grind on you, but lately it's been worse.
It's as if I'm physically and emotionally drained. It's like there is never enough time to do the things I'd like to do, or need to do.
Did you ever wonder why we work so hard to have a place to live and why we have so little time to be there? It's like some great cosmic joke. We spend great amounts of money on rent, and in return we get a place for storage and a place to sleep and eat and keep ourselves clean...so we can go back to work to make more money to pay rent.
There's precious little time to really enjoy the fruits of our labor. For some of you, when you do get a break from work in the form of a vacation, you probably take a trip...away from the place you're spending most of your money on.
I'm not saying this as if this is some new revelation to you or myself. I've been around the block so many times I've made myself dizzy and I understand the game and how it's played; but recently the reality has set in with a vengence.
Here's the punchline of the cosmic joke...He keeps going back for more!
I call money "Sweat Certificates" and the harder and longer you work and the more you sweat, the more certificates you aquire. The scary part is that all the pictures of the people on these sweat certificates are people who are dead...
Not exactly inspirational, is it?
You take these certificates of sweat and you trade them in for all the creature comforts, but you're not allowed to keep many of them because there are people out there who can't sweat as much as you do, and so you're required to assist those that are unable to sweat as much as you.
Then, the government fines you for sweating so much, and basically you're left with mild perspiration...and a bottle of Gatorade if you're lucky.
Don't sweat the petty stuff, but do pet the sweaty stuff...
