We all waste something.

Time, energy, life, love, hate, hope, fear, words, water.

The list goes on….

What makes humans such wasteful creatures? Is it in our innate nature to simply throw away needlessly? Or is it something deeper, some devilish conspiracy against us, connived by some malevolent force within the universe, intent on the slow wasteful destruction of us, a single piece at a time?

Probably not.

Chances are we’re simply too lazy to save these things for important times when we need them most. It’s too easy to sit around as opposed to being constructive. Life is too hard, too complex, to waste it on not being wasteful, right?

BZZZZZZZZ!

And the answer is: NO!

Excuses come at half-price these days and society coddles the wasteful. It’s perfectly acceptable to do nothing with your life, nobody will condemn you, and if they try they will be condemned for condemning. God forbid you tell someone to do something! That would go against the lazy-ass constitution!

Not THE Constitution, of course, meaning the United States Constitution, I mean the invisible contract society created when blame became customary, when waste stepped up and applied for the position of ruling thought.

Remember your parents? If you’re still young, then try to remember their parents. They got up before dawn each day to milk the cows before plowing the fields and then catching the train to work in the factory for fifteen hours and they still had energy to come home and play ball with the kids before walking the hills for a recycled picnic and then bed where they made more kids.

Okay, maybe not.

But they made it seem that way.

These days you crawl out of an air-conditioned bedroom, have a three-hour steaming-hot shower – wasting both water and electricity, blend the crap out of breakfast while using any multitude of other electrical appliances before throwing half our breakfast in the garbage. Jump in the car and burn fossils fuels while stuck in traffic with a million other people burning fossil fuels, all the while blaring music, talking on your cell phone, with the A/C or heater blasting. And then you get to a job you complain about where you do nothing and wait for a lunch hour where you eat garbage that ends up mostly being thrown into the trash. The rest of the day drags by until you trundle off to the car once more and sit in traffic yet again before you get home, ignore the kids who in turn ignore you while playing their console games or chatting with weirdos on Facebook. You turn on every possible appliance before you end up ordering take-out and sitting on your ever-widening ass and wondering where your life went and blaming everyone imaginable for the things that have gone wrong in the world.

Dumbass.

Get up, pull your underpants out of your ass crack and scratch your balls (or equivalent female asset) before going to the mirror and taking a long, hard look at the person you see there. This is the only person you can control and the only one to blame for your life. Stop wasting and start saving, every moment you breathe is an opportunity for greatness beyond anything you could possibly imagine. Don’t fear the effort involved, rather you should embrace the challenge before you like a voyage through unseen lands, and every obstacle is merely a new opportunity to learn and experience something exciting. Money is a tool, not a goal, and how much or how little you have is immaterial.

We all end up in the same place, so why poison your time alive by dragging your heels and complaining all the way. LIVE life, don’t waste it.
