Dropping the "Wants."

This Monday morning, I think of Melville's "Bartelby the Scrivener": "I would prefer not to."

I also think of Nancy Reagan's famous War on Drugs campaign: "Just Say No."

AND, I think of that popular phrase: "Less is More."

Pretty contrary to the prevailing trends alive in the Human Herd. We live in the belly of the beast of the always on, 24/7 rage machine of unbridled "needing, wanting, grasping." It's all so exhausting.

Maybe sitting quiet. Doing nothing. Living with less. Dropping the "wants" could lead to a super-chill, fruitful yield. Who knows?!
