You don\u2019t want to get out of bed. But you might have to, to get to work, or because your bladder is bothering you! Nightly, you might be into a good book or a movie, and you don\u2019t want to go to bed, but your droopy eyelids are bothering you. It won\u2019t be long before you\u2019re bothered again after that wonderful meal. Your appetite returns, and you\u2019ll have to be bothered to go into the kitchen and fix another meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why bother? I could sit around being a do-nothing, but then I\u2019d be bothered by my conscience for being a slug. I could be a workaholic, but not too soon after that, I\u2019d be bothered about not doing anything fun or enjoyable. The plight of the human condition – how utterly bothersome!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is nothing but a game. This back-and-forth you play with yourself is a bother! You\u2019re in this blind peek-a-boo tournament for as long as you have a body. You get into a bind, then you free yourself – BOO. What\u2019s interesting about the word bother is that at its root is the word BOTH. The universe is playing a game with itself. It\u2019s blind to the BOTH-ness is plays within you. The universe is hungry and<\/em> it knows how to feed itself. It\u2019s lazy and<\/em> it knows how to be productive. It\u2019s poor and<\/em> it knows how to richen itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On one side of the mask you smile. On the other, you frown. The illusion of two sides is the both<\/span>er of the human condition. I can\u2019t be angry and<\/em> loving at the same time. I can\u2019t be here and<\/em> there at the same time. Physically, I can be here and now. Conceptually, I can be there and later. You can\u2019t be a both-er. You can only be a one-er. You can\u2019t be bothered. So, why bother?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tuesday, January 2, 2024 You don\u2019t want to get out of bed.
