Are you a Human Being...

Or a Human Doing?

Might we all think too much, seek too much, want too much and forget about the joy of simply Being.

I am a human doing what I can.

@Pambi thank you Pambi, can say the same about you as well

First kudos on an excellent question. But sad for me since I'm less human "being" than I would like.

Had to see it in writing to realise that.

@Callmewhatyouwill Often times it takes more than a nudge for me.... To simply be. ☺

Its a difficult balance not to get too lost in one without losing sight of the other.

Pambi · 26-30, F

@Callmewhatyouwill Agreed

I really like this question. Challenging. Doesn't all boil down to balance? If you are only a human being, somebody will have to dust you. If you are only a human doing, nothing important will be able to catch you. Our human doing side has to protect our human being. And our human being side has to add texture and depth to existence.

@Mamapolo2016 An endless paradox indeed. Balance perhaps. I long to simply be fully present in the moment. Right now. To simply be.

@Pambi I know it's cheeky to modify Socrates, who is thought to have said, 'The unexamined life is not worth living.'

I would add to that, 'The unlived life is not worth examining.'

@Mamapolo2016 I like that.. We only get one life. This very moment is most important of all

Doing to achieve being. Mindfulness is possible in our busy lives, but it’s very easy to slip out of it.

Pambi · 26-30, F

@luckranger71 Very easy indeed. That ego is relentless in us all.

We never seem to take time to smell the roses

Pambi · 26-30, F

@chuck7882 Indeed. So easy to get caught up in what we call "My Life"...But we are life. And much of it slips by in absence of notice.

Today is not a day for doing

Pambi · 26-30, F

@SW-User Today, involves the future. It remains this very moment that sets the perimeter of you choice.
