Sloth
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Wasting time can be a creative, meaningful, and even time-consuming
|
|
adventure. One must be dedicated to Sloth in such a way that almost every
|
|
effort in daily life is centered on how to make the next moment go by with
|
|
hardly a remembrance of the previous minute. Needless to say, this is easier
|
|
said than done; wasting time takes almost as much effort as actual
|
|
productivity.
|
|
Why would one engage themselves in such in such a time-consuming activity
|
|
dedicated to doing absolutely nothing? Simply answered, it is mere apathy.
|
|
But, why apathy? Apathy, for me, comes from the realization that the Baby-
|
|
Boomer Ideal is, was, and has always been a farce. Our parents procured an odd
|
|
set of beliefs that were garnered from the "Protestant Work Ethic" of THEIR
|
|
parents, and mixed into an unbalanced concoction with the Idealism of the '60s.
|
|
These two approaches to life are in complete contradiction to each other.
|
|
Our parents believed that you grew up, went to college, married your
|
|
Sweetheart, and lived happily ever after. They even believed in this order of
|
|
events so deeply that popular movies, television, and radio reflected the
|
|
culture of those times.
|
|
The '60s partially shattered that illusion, however. The Viet Nam War, the
|
|
social and political protests of the day all came to together to force cracks
|
|
in The American Dream. Americans finally had the chance to face reality. But,
|
|
our parents failed us. They flat out fucked up.
|
|
So, that brings us back to doing nothing. Doing nothing as a protest
|
|
against today's society. Doing nothing because success cannot be measured under
|
|
our parents' terms. Doing nothing because it SIMPLY DOESN'T MATTER.
|
|
For those of us that are too lazy, or too apathetic to give a shit about
|
|
forming any other kind of legitimate protest- let's face it- it's much easier
|
|
to do NOTHING. And, with all the modern conveniences that we now have at our
|
|
beck and call, we can easily find ways of doing something else to pass the time
|
|
without actually having to do anything at all. I think this is great.
|
|
Computers, video games, cigarettes (who gives a fuck if smoking causes
|
|
cancer?), CD players, and, of course, television are but a few of the multitude
|
|
of vices to which we now have access. And, thanks to the Gods of Technology,
|
|
it's only going to get better!
|
|
Our generation has the greatest opportunity of any in history to completely
|
|
fuck off. And, why not? Technology doesn't ask for more of our
|
|
free time, it demands it! And, wouldn't we be fools to not embrace our
|
|
opportunities? The answer is a dignified "Yes."
|
|
Maybe we HAVE learned something after all. However, we, The Generation of
|
|
the Young and Bored, have cleverly twisted our parents Puritanical Fancy with
|
|
Accomplishment, into a mutation of Working For Nothing. Let our parents tell us
|
|
we are good for nothing; we will nod our heads and THANK them for giving us a
|
|
world in which we can completely dismantle every ideal they stood by. What an
|
|
achievement!
|
|
Who cares if our parents won't be proud? Did you really ever believe that
|
|
you were going to somehow please them? Is that what your were really concerned
|
|
about all along? I didn't think so. What you really wanted was to get out of
|
|
under their thumb, so you pretended to follow in their foot-steps by going to
|
|
college (or planning to go) and pretending that you were really concerned about
|
|
your future, when in reality, you only truly cared about learning the fatality
|
|
moves in Mortal Kombat, or having that spiffy new record by Nirvana or Rage
|
|
Against the Machine.
|
|
You might have even told yourself that if you worked real hard, and got
|
|
that Holy Diploma, that some company would come knocking at your door begging
|
|
you to work for them, and THEN, you would earn the money to have all the free
|
|
time to do what you really wanted to do in the first place- NOTHING. And, even
|
|
have all the groovy toys to do NOTHING with. What a fucking lie. Truth is, our
|
|
generation is used to getting what it wants right this minute, and basically,
|
|
it is just too much of a pain in the ass to wait. Hell, if we wanted to wait,
|
|
we could go to McDonald's after all the bars shut down.
|
|
Sloth is a way of life for our generation. The realization of this fact is
|
|
the healthiest thing we can do for our own mental stability. And, don't let
|
|
those around you who cling to our Parent's Dreams thwart you. It's our duty to
|
|
each other, and to ourselves to make the Art of Fucking Off into something that
|
|
OUR children will loathe us for in the years to come.
