A sad state of affairs.

Reminding myself. That I have a mind. It’s become one of my favorite pastimes. Gone through phases of life.  When I’ve been more or less out of my mind. Proceeding without a lot of forethought. It’s so important. To have a well-trained, finely-tuned mind. Don’t the rest of you think so? Anyway, that’s my goal. To put my mind to good use. I try to not allow my mind to idle for a long time. Best to rev it up. On a daily basis. Even when I don’t feel like it. I know people with lazy minds. They should be scared. Instead, they’re merely complacent. I’ve suggested to several complacent friends, that they’d feel better. If they gave more thought. To the whys and wherefores of life. Some claim they tried it. But that it was too challenging. Too exhausting. Too confusing. Meanwhile, I keep thinking. That maybe. As a society. We’re in a sad state. --Jim Broede
