It’s been a very rainy lazy day here today and I’ve been pondering as I often do, wondering what do I want to do - not in big goal type ways, just like right now in this moment. And I thought about things I could do and then I decided to just do nothing - but now I’m thinking about it and it’s not nothing - it’s the best thing - the thing I most like to do just sitting and pondering.
Thinking - just thinking and then I thought perhaps I could read some stuff on substack and nothing got me terribly hooked today - some days I come across some great stuff - interesting, funny, sad, but today nothing really struck me - then I read this line in the post I was skimming - stop scrolling and do something the world needs.
What.
Like, seriously, I get the stop scrolling but what does the world need - the world needs nothing - it needs us to do nothing - it needs people to just stop and do nothing, although I think it probably doesn’t even need that - now I’m thinking about it and I think it doesn’t need us to do nothing anymore than it needs us to do something - and now I wonder what the author thinks the world could possibly need.
And.
What is the world? Is it the planet, the people, the economy, the flora and fauna, is it one of these, some of these, all of these, or something else.
Now I have confused myself and maybe you with all my pondering and I think that since the world doesn’t need me to do anything - nothing or something - I will just do what makes me happy, and that’s it - thats all there is to do - something that makes you happy. So that’s what I’m going to do now - I’m going to sit and ponder what makes me happy - because that’s what makes me happy.
What makes you happy? Something to ponder!
