Productivity

Do you feel productive today? There is that question of if we are productive enough, but the only reality behind that is the measure to which we are satisfied or frustrated with our activities. Part of you knows that if you aren’t engaged in the life process you aren’t being “productive/reproductive”. Basically you risk death, even if only spiritual. Everything is productive to the degree that it permits the wellbeing of the life form. Be fertile, be reproductive, be productive, be alive. How is that for a to-do list? Get that done and I feel you will have been productive enough. What about you?

“As the soil, however rich it may be, cannot be productive without cultivation, so the mind without culture can never produce good fruit.” Seneca (Roman philosopher, mid-1st century AD)

“The desire to create continually is vulgar and betrays jealousy, envy, ambition. If one is something one really does not need to make anything -and one nonetheless does very much. There exists above the ”productive” man a yet higher species.” Friedrich Nietzsche (German classical Scholar, Philosopher and Critic of culture, 1844-1900.)
