aggression

Post Reply New Topic

i'm a rather calm person, i'm perfectly content where i am
yet everyone around me is constantly in motion
this sort of insistant "you MUST go forward" and "be AGGRESSIVE with what you want"
i've been told this over and over but how exactly does this work out if there's nothing
in the world that you want? honestly i don't want a thing. i like lots of things i'm good at
most everything i put a hand to but there's nothing i want. nothing to inspire any sort of this
"drive" that seems to be a major force to why people do things

It is possible that you have reached a sort of nirvana; people often do not understand such nirvana if they have not reached it themselves, and they are led to believe that the "drive" to achieve more, to create more, and to leave a greater legacy will lead them there. For most people, being "content" is being "successful"; when they see somebody who is not "successful" in the means of having great wealth or achieving in a "higher-level" profession, they then feel that this person cannot be "content" until they acquire such things. To be "content" with life in and of itself is a rare skill that could potentially make you millions if you ever figured out how to translate it into written form.

A lack of "drive" can also be a symptom of depression, though this is highly unlikely if you are truly content.
