Day 28

I was trolling through facebook and I noticed on of my facebook associates had posted a video. Follow the youtube path long enough you find something menial to get you through the next couple of conversations.
I personally love philosophy. I don't have a knack for it, nor the writing capabilites, but I still try. Not to conceptualize or contextualize what I'm feeling into words easily associated and understood, but rather just conversation. I like to talk.
So I guess I will continue from where he trails off into. He puts the world into this stark view of fear or laziness. Self-created walls and obstacles to what you can accomplish. I understand what he means, but I have very little patience for notions of doom and gloom. I value insights into life, but I think that without efforts into progress, these conversations become mindless babble. There must be application.
Or course you could argue that philosphers are needed to drive the engine. Theory vs. Action. But neither can exist by themselves. So the happy medium is supposed to be something that lies in between. Could his message be interpreted as an effort to move the modes of thinking of each individual into something concrete? To revitalize the mind in an effort to spark some kind of movement. To change the status quo of what holds us behind. Or to even change our daily-empty-ant routines and to instill a little thought into what we do, why we do it, why we continue, how we actually live our lives. Is he prescribing to move to the center of things?
