I think life is meant to be lived contemplatively, peacefully, harmoniously, temperately and tranquilly in acceptance, but like Karpel said, there’s no single answer to this question.
Well, if it’s good for the planet, than it’s good I suppose.
We need to leave room for nature.
Yea I’m going to look into driving jobs soon, right now I’m a groundskeeper/janitor.
I don’t think cab driver is for me, unless it’s in the day time, because I don’t want to deal with drunks and junkies (perhaps a courier).
I don’t want to be a security guard either, I don’t like conflict, confrontation or enforcement, it’s nowhere near worth the pay.
Courier is fun too. Delivery guy even. There’s also plenty of cabbies that work the day time. Airport rides and such. For a contemplative man, there is more than one gratifying conversation to be had.
It’s good to have balance I think, it’s good to be inspired, driven, but it’s also good to relax, take it easy, enjoy the simple things, not overreach.
Well I didn’t say anything about being driven, simply inspired by whatever or to do whatever, otherwise your biding your time until death going through the motions of living without anything to really make mention of. Perhaps inspiration and appreciation are somehow tied together, a mixture of what makes life feel great, but being a ghost in your own life blows.
Having had to do the former for the last few years, and now not so much having to, the capacity for a sense of self opens up of wanting to do… along with the capacity to be able to now do.
I don’t think it’s essential, but personal pursuits fill a void of purposelessness.
Couriers make very good money… well they do here, or another good money-maker… and I know plenty of people in this field, is chauffeuring: film studios, diplomats, the rich, special needs schools… they all use em.
All your questions have to do with perspective and whether or not one’s perspective can bring about inspiration or is inspiration an epiphany of sorts that brings about a new perspective?
Right, it is a matter of perspective, personality, disposition, temperament.
I haven’t given much thought to epiphanies, I tend to think everything in the mind, comes from the mind, and its environment, not from nowhere, or some place mysterious.
