Ok so i may have been hasty in my notification in change in bloggerization.
This is something that suddenly struck me whilst walking through my mostly incomplete vegetable garden.. not that it could ever be complete because it is constantly evolving. But it does have some eventual goals, not to be anthropomorphizing an biological entity, to be able to feed us almost completely. It brings to me to the question of how and why we do or dont achieve tasks at hand. You may ask? We all suffer from varying levels of procrastination.. yes I am trying to use bigger words.. maybe it makes the Blob a little more readable? or not.
But how many of us never really achieve that which we really ever set out to. Is it ever really possible to achieve everything we set out to do. In certain circumstances or aspects of our lives we seem to manage.. in others we dont. Why i would not be able to say. But it does lead me to the question if there are healthy levels of procrastination, and if they do not allow organic growth of the things we try to achieve on a daily, weekly or lifetime. I have friends who vary from the insanely achieveable to those which never achieve. I see my self somewhere floating from one extreme to the other. Some days I think we manage to achieve mountains other days we manage to do nothing, some months , some years. My question is however what it is that creates that internal paralysis that holds us back from achieveing things well within our grasp? why is it that the paralysis grips us so tight that we cannot even move a step forward. Is it that we can liken this to a form of mental yuppie flu.. is it that we live in a society where time and motion is at such a rate that we are living our lives, but rather intercepting fleeting moments where we touch base and do things, where the rest of the time we are being carried along by the momentum of the society we are part of. I have a theory that most of the unlucky ones like my self suffer from a syndrome, I would like to call "displacement anxiety".. and I believe we cannot actually survive it.. wEll there are some of us. maybe I should step back and explain my self. I think, believe, rationlize or just downright have feeling that we as biological beings cannot travel fast in cars, planes or other forms of accelerated transport becasue we cannot process all the information comming into our brains and I think that this must generate massive levels of undue panic, stress and crisis. I might be wrong.. but it is what i have thought about for quite some time. I think that we can only travel at certain speeds, that our brains can activly process all the external information comming into our Brains, after which we strat etting some for information overload, furthermore I have a train of throught that also thinks that we cannot actually travel further than a specific distance in a day without suffering displacement anxiety. that is that our sub conscious cannot actually deal with the fact that we have travelled so far. Dont get me wrong there are those who it will not affect for a number of reasons, there are those who are natural adventurers who seek to travel and journey to new places and the anxiety does not touch them, there are those who dont notice, but I do belive there are a lot of people whos minds just cannnot process the illogicallity of the massive distances that our bodies have moved from where started off.. And especially when we move from one ecotype/ biome/ vegetation type/ physical environment to another. I do think that many people dont suffer this as they mnight not notice it, but those who have as a part of their security blanket the environment arround them, the familiar, the hosues the trees the hills cannot be thrust into wide open spaces becasue the transition is to sudden, we have sudden breakdown of our inate survival sub conscious behavioural observation. In an attempt to sruvive we take note of our surroundings and environment and cannot function in others. This comes back to a simple iological theory which splits animals into a number of categories, and we as humans seem to be able to transed a single species view of this, as we have fairly diverse and different memes within our single species. there are those who live in ever changing environments, there are those which live in perfect complex environments which are ideal, then there are those who live in verh harsh unchanging environments. These internal meme representations all determine to which level we suffer displacement anxiety.
But to get back to the ability to break free from the paralysis of procrastination and move to the ability to achieve, how to do I must say i do not knwo, but all i know is that we all get caught up in it.
another really random ramble for those who read this..
