alternatives :: conformance :: next!

I have read the demotivators. It is interesting in the way that a lot of the sayings in those posters makes you think. Human minds have this tendency to try to reject or scrutinize everything that they perceive. Or maybe its just me.

I have read the demotivators. It is interesting in the way that a lot of the sayings in those posters makes you think. Browsing their site www.despair.com i stumble upon a link to an article about a person named judith mair.
Apparently this fraulein judith (she's german) is a business person owning a small design company. According to the article, fraulein judith run the company in the traditional german work ethics (strict disciplined approach: corporate drones, uniforms, drab uninteresting office), as opposed to the popular american way (fun exciting approach: weed junkies, individuality, kindergarden office paintjobs). And it seems that her company is producing positive results, thus sparking interests among the business community about her approach to business.
Thinking about these two different approaches to doing business, makes me wonder: What about life itself? Do we excel in life, socially and spiritually if we live in a rigid strict way of life or in a carefree and do-whatever-you-like way? But of course my whole question is useless and a wate of time, because i know that Islam is the way of life. If you examine Islam, you'll discover that the religion dictates how we live our life. It forms the guidline for us to do our day to day living in a clear and concise manner. It is well defined and strict to the point of rigidity.
Although my blog title is 'The Lies I tell Myself', i now speak the truth to me and to you. So what are we waiting for? The sun rising from the west? Next!

I have read the demotivators. It is interesting in the way that a lot of the sayings in those posters makes you think. It is funny that our mind only starts to work when we encounter situations that we do not approve of. Maybe that is why we grow senile when we are old. We have seen the world, tasted the bitter sweetness of it all, and are thinking 'let these young people taste it just as i have done it in my days'. And at that moment, we will lose our questioning nature. We will let everything happen around us, without worrying about it. We wil wait for death.

I have read the demotivators. It is interesting in the way that a lot of the sayings in those posters makes you think. And i think i hate doing blog entry introduction paragraphs.
