There
is something that could be said about those that don't want to do anything.
Those individuals probably won't bother with doing everything necessary for the
advancement of their own knowledge. This can't be stressed enough with the
advent of such technologies that make knowledge more readily accessible such as
the internet, but those with access would more often then not, completely
disregard that opportunity that would present itself. However, this unfortunate
example is only affected by a select few that choose that path of the
blissfully ignorant. That couldn't have been more true regarding a certain few
and I would have included myself in that description a while ago. Although,
thankfully, I have changed for the better. These people are the few that could
be flaneurs be it though asking questions and finding answers or observing
rather than seeing. By bringing through the concept of consequence of being a
"seeing" person rather than being an "observant" person.
I've seen this happen more than once and it's not just because I was in one of
the biggest tourist cities in the world, but it's anywhere with lots of
visitors that look and end up "oohing" and "ahhing" which
should not come as a surprise when these are those that do just see and be
easily amazed. There is not another thing that could be said about those
individuals other than the fact that they can change their situation by
themselves if they only would want to. In light of this fact there aren't any
others that could complete that requirement by themselves. The only thing left
if for the self-realization of them becoming something that they are not, to
become something that is entirely unique on it's own. The power of the freedom
of choice is immense.
DUDE! This chronique (unfortunately) literally explains my life while being back from Paris. I have been a fool for the past 6 or so weeks; I've been distracted by nothing, which prevented me from finishing this portfolio and final project. Yeah sure, I could have chosen to be productive and get this whole thing out of the way, but no: I didn't do that. Instead, I left myself float without giving much thought to what I was doing with my life. While, I'm done with my final now, I still haven't a clue why I let myself procrastinate this long. Could it be because I don't recognize the power of our "freedom of choice"?
