When you think you’re useful.

This is the thir­teenth in a series of posts reflec­ting on the impor­tance of our actions and what we do to contri­bute to some­thing, and ideal­ly, some­thing grea­ter. These posts should be read in order of publi­ca­tion. Star­ting with num­ber six, for example, would make no sense to the rea­der. Hap­py reading!

So we come back to this situa­tion where we feel that a choice has to be made, but we try by all means not to make that choice. The choice is simple, is it bet­ter to have a life full of move­ment or full of contem­pla­tion? Should we be an actor or a spectator?

I’m sure many of you alrea­dy have an ans­wer in mind, one that may be bia­sed by our social values. But let me ask the ques­tion dif­fe­rent­ly, is it bet­ter to have a life full of mea­nin­gless move­ment or full of contem­pla­tion? Should we be an extra or a spec­ta­tor? I must confess that the ques­tion implies a concept dis­cus­sed pre­vious­ly that many of us think we are contri­bu­ting to socie­ty, but in fact, we are not. Let me explain.

If, as long as we all have access to our basic phy­si­cal needs and we had the means in place to pro­tect our­selves, the rest means nothing. The one and only excep­tion in my opi­nion is the contri­bu­tion to the intel­lec­tual or cultu­ral field. This reve­la­tion can be fatal for many because it implies that we are being towed by socie­ty. Trou­bling, isn’t it?
