life as we knew it


we are starting to watch the made for TV movie "Tuesdays With Morrie". in this movie Morrie talks about how we spend most of our lives doing something we don't love to gain material possessions we don't need. i feel he applies this to life in a way that is purposefully to life. in life we tend to let all of the precious moments go by because we are stuck doing dead end jobs and will care more about keeping our heads above water. in life i feel that as long as you are an artisan and a citizen then you have fulfilled the basic needs for life.
a teacher i had once said " this isn't a class... its a life style" and i feel this plays a part in the integral role of life. we need not to focus on the "paperwork" of life and live life for he purpose of just being.  i don't mean to preach any pseudo hippie facade with the whole Au natural ideals but it is the root principle. why do we need a piece of paper that says i graduated from Harvard to be successful. if you act on what you know and you don't know how to act you will be both happy and successful.
