All I Do Is.....

[Progress]

[All I do is....] During my trip to Florida, I was noticing little defence mechanisms that I did. From attempting to squat away mosquitos, stereotyping strangers to danger or safe, holding onto the rollercoaster restraints and scanning shallow water for alligators. These were of course little and even normal mechanisms however they made me think why was I being paranoid about nonsense. 

So I watched my other actions, noticing how most of my actions were pleasure and fear based. It was after reruning several fear mechanism situations, a little thought came about, "Everything I do is to survive." This wasn't an awing thought but rather a frustrated thought. It was a few seconds later that I realized the truth of what I just thought, Everything "I"(Ego) does is to survive. It was like third and first person came together and realized they were each other.(Which has and will continue to be used as both third and first person)

Of course the other half of what I does is seek pleasure. If you take a closer look it is still very much survival. Pleasurably I seek food, water, shelter, safety and sex, Ultimately survival. It is in rare moments when I act against my own will or ride with a certain "greater than myself." This is called passion, vision, righteousness, beauty and love (explained another day perhaps) which is ironically seen as intuition despite when you resist it may be confused as counterintuitive.

Ironically this selflessness actually may not just be the ultimate survival mechanism, but the ultimate thrival mechanism as well. Innovation, Progress and Creation truly happens when humans follow this gut feeling of "something greater than myself."
