• Today my AP Brit Lit class was given the honor and priviledge to be able to take a practice SAT writing assaignment; something that I, nor my fellow Sr. classmates, will ever need to use. The prompt asked us something to the effect of: Why or why isn't discontent the first step to action? Being the philosophic, pensive nerd that I am, I took great interest in the subject and thought about it quite a bit. This was my insight for today: If you think your life is continually full of happiness, then you will lack the motivation to improve it. Why fix something that isn't broken? Thus, it is sometimes better for one to feel a relatively small amount of discontent in life, for it makes one want to strive for something more. As humans, it's impossible for us to reach a state of perfection. To those of you who beg to differ: put down the bong, joint, or whatever substance you prefer, and all the other things that provide you with a false sense of security and wake up. If you lack the motivation to change, you should force yourself to recognize what could be improved and what is false in your life, and use your discontent to fuel your will, and thus maybe become closer to true perfection.
