A new movement - taking the path of more resistance
Yesterday's remark regarding the inherent laziness of the human species put me onto a good idea. I am going to start a new movement... The name is up for debate, but the gist of it is simply to take the path of more resistance as a matter if course.
What does this entail? Take the stair rather than lifts/escalators, cook rather than eat out/use ready meals, walk to the store rather than drive, ask a question rather than be silent, open the curtain rather than turn on the light, read a book rather than watch TV, shower cold rather than hot (this one's loaded as I always shower cold), grow flowers rather than simply buying cut flowers, make art rather than simple buying it, cycle instead of public transport, spend more time of foreplay rather than going straight to the 3 key erogenous zones, the list goes on and on...
What is the benefit of taking this approach? There are many. Saving money, keeping your brain fit, learning new thing, keeping your sanity (using public transport in London is full of trials and tribulations), having a more fulfilled sex life and keeping healthy, just to name a few.
Sure everything might take a bit longer and require more effort, but in the end I believe you will feel more fulfilled. Fulfillment is something that I think may people have heard of, but never really experience (e.g. dead end jobs, loveless marriages, non-alcoholic beer, low fat anything, self-gratification). I think it's time that we started fighting back? Don't give me easy, I want hard!
Therefore, I am appointing myself the leader of this new movement and will keep you updated on my progress. Please tell your friends about this new movement as I am looking to convert the masses. Fat, lazy and convenience seeking people not apply! Who knows this movement may be the answer to the looming obesity crisis, global terrorism and poverty... or maybe not... The choice is yours.... blah, blah, blah....
Hard is the new easy...
