procrastino

ha!
guess what that means.... even if you didn't know the meaning of the word procrastinate you could figure it out or come close enough just be examining the length of time that it has taken me to post since the week that i originally setup this blog...

terrible... not simply because i have neglected the task i committed myself to... but horrible because it is something we as humans easily become accustomed to and fall prey to...

why is it so easy... to put off for tomorrow what we could quite easily do today (sorry for the cliche)... why?
why is it so easy to convince ourselves that it would be better to leave that for tomorrow... and this for later.... and the next for when i feel like it...?

why is it so easy to remain idle?
why do we prefer to be idle?
are we afraid that we would have nothing to do tomorrow.... if we did all we could today?
do we feel that our time is our own... and we deserve to delay our responsibilities simply because i in charge....

why....?

is it simply because it is easy?
because yuh know...
we like to take it easy...
we like the easy way out....
we like the easy path... the one where everyone else going... because if everyone else going there i might as well too... right?

easy.... is it really easy being lazy?
does it really make out life easier....?
if it's a matter of work... if we leave everything for later... and deadlines catch up with us.... then we panting to complete everything in time... yet it's easier to leave it for tomorrow....

maybe we too frequently fail to examine the big picture... it's all about now...
all about the present...
all about me....

hence in that absorption with the present and with self... we fool ourselves into believing then that the best decision lies in whatever suits us at that particular moment... and in so doing isolating ourselves from all external parties and influences... leaving us in a bubble of the surreal... in a place that truly only exists in our minds....
