This misuse of time value rolls out the red carpet for our last and crowning hyperreality, which frames the two SCRIPTED OS life-paths: temporal prostitution—the subordination of time to money; the presumption that time is unlimited and can be fecklessly traded, squandered, and dishonored, while money is piously coveted as a limited resource.
The Sidewalk is much like that old drinking quote: “When you drink more than you should, you’re just borrowing happiness from tomorrow.”
What these fools can’t see is that pursuing the dream is the dream itself.
The hardest part of the process-principle is repetition; greatness is a lot of small things done daily.
How you see yourself makes or breaks the foundation you work with—the sturdy ground of THIS IS ME or the motionless treadmill of THIS MIGHT BE ME.
The world has no shortage of people seeking lounge-chair, remote-control success—they want all that life has to offer—just as long as it comes in comfortable harmony. This young man striving to save his mother from poverty? He’s a force-packing Jedi Knight among a legion of soulless stormtroopers.
