I Am Always Thinking and Thinking

My whole life I have always had some greater goal. I always wanted to give something great to the world. What exactly I was going to give changed over the years but I always had that passion and strong knowledge that I wanted to DO something I wanted to make an impact and a change.

It is only just recently that I have realized that not only does not everyone have that same drive, but it's actually pretty rare. Most people just want to.....live? I don't know how to explain it.

I think maybe one reason why so many people are depressed and feel caught in the rat race is because they haven't given themselves purpose. I have always had a purpose to work towards. Something that I fought for even in my darkest times, that kept me alive when I experienced only suffering from life and no joy at all. I knew I hadn't given what I was here to give yet.

I don't know this is me just rambling. It was just a sort of revelation to me. Most people are content to just live.

I think people tend to be more idealistic when they are young and life beats it out of them over time

@BiasForAction Most people my age I have found do not share the same drive as me. They are still young.

And there are many people who accomplished great things while older. I do not think such a thing diminishes with age. I do think depending on the life you have you can become disheartened, but you can also become inspired and gain that passion where it wasn't there before and age has nothing to do with it. To become old is inevitable. To become old and cynical is a choice.
