The Tao is like a well:
used but never used up.
It is like the eternal void:
filled with infinite possibilities.
It is hidden but always present.
I dont know who gave birth to it.
It is older than God.
"Infinite possibilities." This is the human life. Life is filled with infinite possibilities yet it is up to us to keep knocking on doors and opening them. This is actually something I was thinking about the other day and I related it to my Mom and Dad. They are two totally different people. Basically there are so many different peopel in the world buit I think in reality they all fall into two different categories. Well atleast in America as I see it. On one hand you have the person who finds their nitch and comfort level and accepts it and lives their life safely and content. On the other you have the person who is always hungry for more and is never satisfied with their life as it is. They are constantly searching and seeking more.
Is one better then the other? Can one be both? This is the harmony I seek. I seek to be content with my life as it is yet motivated and driven to always search for ways to improve the areas which might be lacking.

Well my friend, you just hit my current situation's nail right on the goddamn head. I have no idea how to achieve this balance either. On the one hand I am thankful for what I have and yet strive for so much more. This is one of those questions that could mess with me all day if I let it.
But, I do know, at least for me, too comfortable equals no longer seeking to experience and learn new things. Having felt very stagnant for a while now I believe it is a fate worse than death. Time to make a move. Any move no matter how small, emotionally, physically, spiritually, etc is beneficial.
