A thought:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What if you dedicated all of your physical\/metabolic energies towards producing visual artwork– whether they be photographs, illustrations, videos, or any other form of artistic creation?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Video games or photography?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What is more fun– photography or video games?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is more fun, watching porn or the challenge\/difficulty\/fun of the real-life intercourse?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is more fun– watching Netflix, movies, or TV shows– or actually going out to a bar\/restaurant\/club or other social scenario– and performing\/interaction with people in real life?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is more fun– reading, or writing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is more fun– consuming the artwork of others, or creating your own artworks?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To me, it seems the best use of our human metabolism is to CREATE!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our human metabolism is limited<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One day you will die. At best, we will die at age 120. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is ‘metabolism’– especially in the context of us human beings?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, metabolism as a combination of the energy we consume (food), as a combination of how we use\/expend energy, and a combination of time*rate of our heart beat. Which means this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter how rich, smart, or physically fit you are– your human metabolism isn’t unlimited, as you will die one day.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Thus from a philosophical perspective– the question we should ask ourselves is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given the fact that my human metabolism (and life) is limited, how do I best want to leverage or use my human metabolism? To what ends? What is my ultimate goal in life that I am willing to sacrifice my life-force-energy (metabolism) in order to achieve or create?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
