Uncouth PerspectivesNot on the rug, man.

Familiar words?

Not for a many.

There is a hatred of these words in out culture. There is almost a need to be angry or upset about something. And if there is nothing to be upset about, then be upset because there is nothing to be upset about!

I was having trouble thinking of a rant this evening and I realized I was just sort of content. My one real goal is to get into my warm bed and snuggle with my pillows. True, I have to write this rant. I have a list of things weighing on me to do tonight and tomorrow morning. And a lot of things weighing on my mind. But, I am content. I just want to fall asleep and dream of actually snuggling with a person. And I found it hard to sit down and write a rant.

And then it came to me in a conversation I was having. I also thought back to a conversation I had earlier in the day with one of my roommates about people who are never happy.

They always find something to complain about. Then they always find someone else to try and fix the problem. Then they can complain that the problem is not getting fixed. And then they can complain that the person who is trying to fix it in useless. It’s all about complaining.

It’s all about the focus on the problem and not the solution. If you are always looking at the problem, that is all you will see. Trying orienting yourself towards the solution and you will find life worth living. There is always an option, always a path to take.

In short, content is not bad. Stagnation is bad. Lack of growth is not good. Being happy with things is good.

Let yourself relax once in a while…

For me, I’m going to get into my warm bed with big pillows and dream of snuggling…
