Running from the Bull Markets

Morning Thoughts #80

A revolutionary act you can commit today: not being content to just sit and consume. May your beating heart be a necessary but not sufficient condition of life. Take heart, millions of canvases are produced every day - it's all a matter of just catching them in the act - and before they've been painted over by something in no way deserving of any canvas, ever.

Who benefits from you just sitting there? I cannot be completely certain as to who does, but I can tell you one thing absolutely: you do not! It's a trap to keep a false peace - of a rumbling economy, piercing through the screaming wind, always threatening takeoff, but in the end just running something else over at high speed. And almost always something good. Something that should have remained for a long time after. Something that either once was or could have been integral to the foundation of some worthy human project capable of rising towards distant sights.

Oh, a stampede of business interests is no running of the bulls I’d ever attend. Beware their horns that have eyes only for your soul!
