The other day I chanced upon:
and somewhere thereunder was challenged by the following:
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world.
Today I am wise so I am changing myself.
- Rumi
And that's it, really: making and wearing shoes instead of making and installing enough carpet for the whole world. On a case by case basis, i.e. who's making you do this and/or that instead of be-coming (aka defining oneself to be) what doesn't re-quire this and/or that?
Q: So if/when online seems Same Old?
A: Don't go there.
Q: But I need something to do.
A: Are you sure? I mean about the 'I' part.
Q: Come again?
A: What is this 'I' you're referring to?
Q: <blank stare>
A: How can you say it's anything more than a story rep-eated oft and quickly enough to seem re-El?
Q: Because that story keeps saying it's no mere story!
A: And there we have it!
