Fun

It is a peculiarity, that the concept of pleasure/'fun' is accorded the person by his aptitude for work. A work-adverse person seeks pleasure in a world that needs recompense, and so he must work; regardless of the pleasure he obtains from income, job and duty looms over his head and he can never be said to be in a state of persistent pleasure. Yet for workaholics, the challenge and satisfaction afforded by his work gives him pleasure which requires no recompense. From such a perspective, it might only seem logical for everyone to delve headfirst into an unerring love of the job, yet few would do so. I, for one, fear that I might lose some special part of my personality I never knew dear to me.

I had an idea for a short story, a person given the ability to rewind time - some good ideas up in the head, but not fully fleshed out yet. Hope I can piece together a coherent article soon.

Posting

I've just posted a couple of half-finished posts, stored away in drafts forever, the original intents and ideas forever lost as the epiphanies slipped away, but nonetheless publishing allows me to reflect on what the ideas might have been, grasping at shards of faded memories. In short, posting is important. Procrastinating sucks.

Just wanted to place a little nugget of thought here - when friends have diverged from your life far enough to actually oppose your life view in a significant manner, is it justified to take action up to the point of renouncing said friendships? Purely hypothetical, but certain close acquaintances seem to be headed in that direction.

This warrants further thought, but I would love to hear comments should anyone chance on this post.

Perceptions

Speaking with two of my friends, I have been given new insight to human nature (though at an exasperating cost)with regards to conversation, conflict and perceptions.

Entertainment

By and by through major economic revolutions, people have become wealthier and more secure in resource and time. The feeling that we have traded free time for more material comforts is simply not true; research shows that just compared to a few decades back, the free time an average person has in a week has increased, albeit the time is being spent in a more uncontrolled manner.
