Great men are born in adversity. As I delved into my mind, I had to wonder, why? And as I began to sort out the thoughts of what I shall call the Greater (subconscious) and the Lesser (conscious) mind. I feel I began to understand complacency is key, when we are safe and life is calm we grow content with the way things are. The more we become comfortable in habits and rituals the more these things become etched in stone.
However, when the world of complacency shatters it is then that we grow, for the old ways have died and to cling to them is to perish with them. When chaos strikes shallow thoughts are abolished and we question everything. We think with the Greater mind for we must learn to live in this world.
And here we are in a world of Comforts. Jobs easy enough to come by. Money easy enough to make and hand outs every other block. The environment a perfect food supply for the lesser of mind. Unfortunately, as it grows it steals control, making us no more than creatures of impulse, enslaved by shallow thoughts. Our emotions a raging Storm because the greater mind is all but starved, a muscle virtually never used.
