The Girl in the Green Spandex
(I know... I know... a title in English for once) ...Purpose... It's an interesting concept. Physical and mental ability don't change, but if a purpose is added to an activity, then suddenly a whole new amount of energy can be expended without even a second thought. I was pondering this today... as I tried my darndest to *catch* said girl in green spandex... and how those five minutes following her, trying to *close* the gap between us went buy within a flash... even though I was fighting a headwind... uphill... (as is the usual for my bikeride home from work) (I never caught her by the way... She remained a blur on the horizon until she went west, and I, east) Do you think it's possible to *trick* the mind into having purpose, or must purpose be genuine? ... and if *not* genuine... then how does one do it? ...and *if* genuine... then what is a noble enough purpose for... well... *anything!?* I'm not *actually* commenting on the meaning of life... *grins* ...maybe next post :) Anyway... buono notte... God bless

I do not think it is the mind that is driven by purpose, but instead the 'heart'. The mind can be fooled, and confused, but it is the heart of a person that drives them. The inescapable longing, and the hope of the human spirit. Emotions drive us... hate, love, greed, nobility... and most of all, Hope.
Purhaps that is why your girl with green spandex was, in the end, just a girl with green spandex.
*Just* a girl in green spandex? *is* there such a thing?! *grins slightly impishly* So... you're saying that I didn't catch her because my heart *wasn't* in it? ...that it was my mind that wanted to catch her?
