in defence of uselessness
we like to act like productivity is good, like doing things - is good.
but what if doing things is bad, and what we should be really doing - is nothing
it is the classic Taoist idea. by doing nothing - the useless tree gains what we all seek.
why must we feel that we need to do - something...
in order to be content?
shouldn't we be - content...
without requiring something to make us content?
what if the thing that once made us content - does not do so in the future?
No "life {is} ever satisfied to live in any present, for insofar as it is life it continues, and it continues into the future to the degree that it lacks life. If it were to possess itself completely here and now and be in want of nothing—if it awaited nothing in the future—it would not continue: it would cease to be life. So many things attract us in the future, but in vain do we want to possess them in the present.”
