The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation according to Henry David Thoreau.
The famous quote is from Thoreau.Is there a way out of the rat race?I see a lot of people with an inner sense of despair.What can we do about it?
People sleep through most of their lives.They live on autopilot.Get married, have kids.Stay busy.Buy things.You can earn money to pay for your family.Survive.They don't have to think a lot because they are busy.They are watching tv.They don't pay attention to who they are.If they ever knew what their dreams were, they would forget.
What can we do about it?Wake up!Who are you?What do you want?What do you mean by your life?Do you do the things because it's what you choose or do you just let it happen?Are you conforming to a society that tells you to do certain things?Are you living or just existing?
People lead lives of desperation.The life of noisy hope is easier than the bleak one.You can go after your dreams even if you don't.A life where you don't fit in.People will call a life eccentric or weird.A life full of successes and failures.A life was lived.
Quiet desperation blends into the background.It does not call attention to itself.You can see it in the faces of suburbanites.The commuters are racing to catch the next train.
There is a way out of the rat race.Don't be a rat.Break the mold.Be who you are.You should live authentically.Be who you are.Do what you want.Follow your bliss...
I met a man who used to be an attorney.It was what his family wanted for him.He decided to live his life on his own.He became a tattoo artist.He is bald, tattooed and covered in piercings.No one would ever guess that he was a lawyer in a three piece suit.I thought that was cool.He doesn't care what people think.He is living the life he chooses.People get tired of being desperate sometimes.They risk everything.They can leave their jobs, fly to Hollywood to be an actress, start their own business, or both.Whatever your soul yearns for...
I type this from my desk, where the internet is my only salvation.I'm quietly desperate.I have not given up on my dreams.On my days off, I still play music, paint, and show my artwork.I would love to make a living at it, but I can't quit my day job until then.
The famous quote is from Thoreau.Is there a way out of the rat race?I see a lot of people with an inner sense of despair.What can we do about it?
We are not civilized.The hierarchy of males was based on strength and skill.We wanted to procreate with multiple females to make sure our genes were passed on.We are always suppressing natural desires and often failing so that is antithetical to modern society.
