Your Life is a Pond Full of Scum

 

I was taking a walk through the city park the other day, and I came across this little lonely duck pond. For some reason, the mass of scum and bird shit that had accumulated on top of the water spoke to me. It said, “this is your life right now”. Ouch...well that’s not very nice, Mr. Pond. But I think I see the point you are trying to make here. Thanks for the kick in the ass, I’ll see ya later…

STAGNATION. One of my most despised words. Stagnation. Ugh. Yuck. It just sounds gross. I can almost smell it as I type these words. Disgusting. This right here...this is a big problem in life.

The Backdrop Here

Well, here we are. Post #1. Where to even begin...

This project is one that I've wanted to tackle for quite some time now. I have had many, many projects throughout the course of my life. Some were very meaningful, however, most were simply...not. For all of us, how much time in our lives do we spend doing things that wont mean jack shit in the grand scheme? Do we do things that will leave a lasting impression on the Earth? Do we do things that will actually help anyone except for ourselves? I think every human asks these sorts of questions of themselves at some point in their lives. What am I doing to help people? What am I doing that will leave a lasting impression? A legacy? How has my time on the Earth contributed to a greater good? Have I wasted all of my time here, or have I actually done something good? Like I mean REAL, TRULY, DEEP DOWN good?
