The importance of being Idle...

I just found this draft from sometime in 2008. I was obviously feeling a bit blue...bless me. Ignore the typos.

The importance of being idle... After creating and then leaving this blog idle for probably the best part of a year it seems the common cold has finally driven me back to it. Feeling lethargic and rather sorry for myself I decided to rumage through old photos and the like and found myself staring at some of the now useless certificates I have accumilated over the years; dancing awards, guildhall certificates, festival distinctions and of course the cub scout challenge award. I remember the pride in achieving them at the time, the relief I had yet now they mean nothing more to anyone, including myself, than the piece of paper they are printed on and a few 'good memories'. If one could look in to the future and see how little they really do for your life, would we will still strive? If the Mc Donald's cleaner knew of his impending fate would he still work so hard in his projects, as human beings would be waste our time trying if we knew nothing would come of it? Reading this through, i sound like a waling, melodramatic teenager but I fit the above bill perfectly so on I go... I guess the point of this (seeiming pointless) rant all comes down to one thing, why does society tell us to strive for our wildest dreams when it is the same society that crushes those at the bottom with a hard blow? leading me to just one question; why are we told to aim high all our lives when the vast majority of us know we won't succeed. We gain these awards, these high grades, these good reports for what? To sit in a god-awful office from 9-5 slaving away for a person whose life accomplishments haev been taking over daddy's buisiness?
