Routine

Great quote from BZ this week,

It's the awareness of the routine, the point when you know exactly what's coming tomorrow, it is that point that is the real killer."
I could not agree more. The curious mind finds no solace in the same-old songs. Perfect is more than practice alone. Human beings are not meant to live out their lives under fluorescent lights and concrete walls. There is a reason prisoners leave worse than when they arrive. It is the same reason we have more employees than entrepreneurs, more jobs to make a living than living to make jobs, more two week vacations than lifelong adventures.

It is about the stories we teach. The priorities we place. It should not take a lifetime of servitude to have the freedom to break with routine, to revel in the unexpected, to marvel at the unknown.
