Restless

 The premise of the Celestine Prophecy is that around 600 BC a scroll was written that said in a few thousand years people would become increasingly restless, which would come to a hilt in the 1990s, and that once enough people became restless answers would reveal themselves.

 Are we, as a species, becoming more itchy and ready for the next thing? I think that's something I experience a lot. Whatever I do, I always feel like there's more to do. Is that nature, or just my nature? I suspect that most members of the Vegan Superhero Academy possess the restless gene. 

 So then the question is what to do about it. I for one don't want to sit around until enough people get the sense to be curious about what else is waiting to be explored. The next thing for me was drinking and smoking when I was in my 20s, then running in my 30s, karate and Brazilian jujitsu in my 40s, and in my 50s so far it's strength and performance and becoming a vegan superhero.

But after all that, I'm still restless and looking for the thing. Aren't you. It's it meaning we're looking for. Purpose? Maybe it's excitement. 

Or maybe it's struggle. Things get easier and easier all the time. Hell, your computer will even think for you now. The Celestine Prophecy is all about enlightenment, but I'm not sure we can really get there because I'm not sure we really want to. We invent more and more work to do. Technology was supposed to make lives easier by now and free up our time for artistic, creative pursuits, humanitarian endeavors, and self discovery. Instead we just increase our output in behalf of somebody else's profits and put our own needs for sanity and a manageable life on the shelf. 

I don't know if someone is cheating us out of something meaningful or if we're cheating ourselves.
