the vice...

Tue Jun 12, 2007, 1:49 AM
I was having a (rare) philosophical discussion with my dad, wondering about existence, life, and young people's psyche.

For all my interest in psychology, history, and events...there will always be one thing I will never understand:

Why is it that many young people like us have one common vice: inertia. What is so scary about being involved, about passion, about crusades and causes and caring that makes us want to be 'above' these? What is so appealing about a coolly thought out existence, and the vacuum of nihilism and skepticism?

I may be able to think critically, but I will always reserve one part of me for my beliefs and fundamental principles. For liberty, equality, fraternity, and hope. For education and the need to struggle for Utopia.

  • Mood: Bewildered
  • Listening to: Les Miserables (TAC)
  • Reading: Psych books, and political theories
  • Drinking: WAS drinking coffee

I'm speaking for the masses when I say...

I don't know.

“Let me tell you a secret,
About a father’s love,
A secret that my daddy said was just between us.
He said, ‘Daddies don’t just love their children every now and then.
It’s a love without end, Amen.”

You mean "I don't know", as in the answer still escapes you?

I don't walk by sight...it's a bit more than that
:iconhomeostatis:
Yup. The whole group of us poor lazy slobs have neither excuse nor understanding as to why we're this way.

Although... If I were to hazard a guess I would have to say that it's not quite a matter of fear as it is a severe lack of drive.

To work towards a vision I suppose one much first learn how to dream.

But I think that's just me. I don't have much to work for yet. It's nice imagining a Utopia but I'm afraid that that's not quite what I want out of life. Hm.

Fear of failure, perhaps? In response to your query about other people...? Ahaha. Maybe, maybe... XP

Well, it's a shame that youth is wasted on the young.

Indeed. Even I'm disgusted with myself. : P
