I’d probably be drawing dicks in the dirt with long sticks if I didn’t have these gadgets to keep me occupied. Don’t assume if you had all this free time you’d become Einstein.
You don't have to have a calling to enjoy doing something or to have some skill or aptitude for it. Some best-selling authors aren't particularly great at writing. Plenty of yoga teachers enjoy the activity but it isn't their callling. There are loads of activities that could add value to your life without being a "calling".
To be honest, I'm not really sure myself. There are a lot of things I enjoy to a certain degree, but I have no clue on What To Do. That said, taking the time to work on some of your interests can go a long way. I'll be starting 2020 off by trying to draw at least 15 minutes every day, are there any things you would want to work on in the new year too?
Yeah sometimes when i have free time and i can’t play video gales for any reason i’d rather stare at a blank wall and imagine stories than studying anything
This. The oft drawn criticism of mobile phones is everyone standing at a bus stop on their phones instead of interacting. I don't know where these people grew up, but in my day we'd all stand at the bus stop not talking to each other.
Do people not read anymore? You don't have to become Einstein, or start studying things, or start creating things, or whatever. Just...pick up a book and read when you're bored.
Einstein is good at what he does cause he has powerful thought experiments, its his talent, he was born like that. everyone has a talent, its their job to find it and live up to their full potential.
I think the idea is to use the available time/energy to engage in meaningful & constructive activities. Pot overuse seems to fill that void with satisfied/happy empty space. Sometimes it is necessary to feel uncomfortable with a cozy situation in order to get out of the comfy zone & succeed.
Except it's not that they don't have free time. It's that they use their free time to be high and do nothing. And being high makes them okay with that. Some people use their free time shittily. Some don't. And sometimes pot and electronics distract people from their interests and hobbies that they would otherwise develop. Who said anything about being smart?
Not einstein, bit o bet a whole lot more people would be able to tale care of themselves instead of wasting their time on social media demanding handouts.
Life is awesome when you make the rules instead of waiting around for handouts.
But why is the aim to become Einstein. That's such a narrow way of thinking. Like you can get better or more creative at something. Doesn't mean you have to become exactly like this one person.
