Do it Or Do Not Do It

We all have a choice in life to take rational action or not take rational action. To be ridiculous is to not take rational action when we know we should. We all have a choice, even when we think we do not. Choice is not an oblong idiocy that is the providence of those who are hasty. We all have to make them. Achievement comes through doing things and doing things only. The only way to get a batting average of any sort in baseball is to swing the bat, it is the same with life. When you think think in terms of solving problems, not causing them or making them worse.

Thomas Aquinas said "variance with reason is evil," this is what he meant, I know. All rational actions are oriented toward solving problems and making things genuinely better without any exception. The logic of laziness is "beating the system," which is a genuinely unrealistic premise in every way, indeed, if the system could be "beat," then there would be no need for thinking effort in life, and we all would live in an effortless place without work or anything of interest in existence.

Indeed, what would be the point of a life without desirable effort? "Nothing." But what is the point of achievement? "Something." No question marks to those statements in the mind of anyone, except the genuinely foolish, because it is all thrillingly clear through honest business minded logic that works in reality and not out of it.

To be happy, rational and honest with yourself and life is the highest achievement in life, no other achievement equals that in any way. To the people who say there is nothing above reason: You are right. Because, reality is what exists, no matter what. We either live with it, or we do not. We can be as chaotic as a coup of chickens running around with no worm in sight to eat, waiting for the reality of being eaten or we can be as orderly as the quail flying in formation beautifully in the skies above us. Get the metaphor? Life, reality and rational existence are choices we make all the time. If they were not, then anything goes, even the point of this article goes.
