Hi Anna, I couldn't agree more with you. Its like, you have given words to my thoughts on wanting to do MORE but don't know what, about the short time on this planet , about feeling lonely in presence of others and the inability to articulate reasons for some of these feelings.
Most of the time I run away from these questions by finding solace in attending the immediate chores of the day. It gives a false sense of doing some substantial work. I think, there is a very strong desire in each of us to test our abilities to its highest level and to be acknowledged by others. When that does not find a direction, or don't have the know how, the feeling of loneliness creeps in creating a hollowness. Do we blame the situations , others or our own selves? Answers come only by sitting and pondering about one self, what one is seeking and or what work makes one the happiest ? It is necessary then to make changes and become the master of your fate. Doing ! But we avoid it and that is active laziness, I suppose. Just letting the current sweep you is laziness.
However, problems are sometimes difficult cause of situations or close association with strong personalities. These sway your directions and you do not develop the right attitude to handle them. Then the feeling of being pushed in unwanted areas creep in and you wallow in self pity.
The fault is ours cause the solution is only within us . It is important to remember that one cant find everything that one wants and finding an optimum balance is very important and being satisfied with this balance is crucial. i am almost reminding myself as I write this or in a way, trying to understand my thoughts.
I hope i am able to shed this laziness to find my calling. Until then I have no right to advice but just share the thoughts and ponder on other's.
