Licking the Razor's Edge (2015)

*We are CULTURALLY CONDITIONED to do nothing …
Not too many years ago, the majority of jobs required standing on our feet all day long.
In essence, if we wanted to survive in that economy, we were required to actually exert
ourselves to do so. These days, the economy has shifted, and the majority of jobs require
us to be seated – and many of them require us to be seated all day long.
Additionally, we are told that we need more comfortable beds to sleep in, more
comfortable chairs to sit in and more comfortable cars to ride in. We wake up in the
morning and sit down at the breakfast table, we sit in our cars and drive to work, where
we then sit at our desks for most the day, before sitting back in our cars to return home –
to sit on our sofas in front of the television before lying down in our cozy beds t go to
sleep.
Essentially, many of us are physically resting all day – even while we are “at work”.
“We revel in the laxness of the path we take.” ~ Charles Baudelaire
