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 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
