So. Putting meaning on an idea isn't easy but I hope I get this across with the following prose; don't be fucking useless.
This pretty much pertains to just about everyone. If I can suggest one thing for every living person in this world is for them to strive to never let themselves become useless. Being useless is a broad and rather general catch-all term, I understand this. What I hope to instill upon the masses is that being useless has become a rampant problem and that one should strive to be ever versatile. One cannot succumb to the numbing effects of everyday life, thus transcending the uselessness we commonly devolve into. One must, I hope, strive to constantly relevant in today's world. I hope that someday we all get past our front doors and daily routines and find out what it means to be adaptive to the wider world.
I work daily. I understand the pull of the US society to be complacent and without want for something better. I feel the pull of Uncle Sam to be constantly recalcitrant. I deeply relate with the notion that today is as good as today can be. I really do. What I hope to one day achieve, and to help others achieve, is the idea that tomorrow isn't guaranteed to any of us. We don't have a written outline that dictates the longevity of our lives so why be content with what's in front of you? Go out and achieve something better for yourselves. To strive for a better today for everyone is to forgo the uselessness we have mustered in our collective hearts. I know I'm trying to grow beyond all that.
Let's stop being fucking useless to each other. Let's stop being nameless faces behind the steering wheels of people who are just in each others way on the freeways. Let's stop being the filler in your neighbor's field of vision. Let's stop being the man and woman in the gray suit.
Let's start being that person who makes someone else's day better. Let's start making things and doing more. Let's start pushing our collective limits. Today we look back. Today we see the wave that arced and crashed during the turbulent 1960's. Today we strive for something better. Today we start another wave.
Go out and start something. Go out and do something.
