Action Alienates
Busyness is a degenerate state.
Action is the direct result of an ambition, no matter how grand or trivial. In our incredibly fucked up society, ambition is seen as a good thing, something to be applauded by others. Individual ambitions can vary widely. The spiritually ambitious, desperate to escape their hellish inner world, go chasing after enlightenment, awakening, nirvana, or any other imaginary state that would release them from themselves. Most people accept the ambitions sanctioned by our sick society: typically, money, power, and fame. The net result of all this is a frantic society that finds it hard to rest, to do nothing.
