Progress Vs. Inertia

progress:
1. improvement: gradual development or improvement of something
2. motion toward something: movement forward or onward

inertia:
1. apathy: inability or unwillingness to move or act
2. resistance to change: the property of a body by which it remains at rest or continues moving in a straight line unless acted upon by a directional force

Don't understand why those who want suitable real help struggle, struggle, struggle beyond belief, and too often must go without regardless of whether they both want it and know they need it.

While, those who don't want or haven't wanted help, don't seek help because they don't really believe they need it, and have needed it, .....So therefore they conclude 'don't need it, don't want it.' Meanwhile they continue on abdicating much personal responsibility at their own and perhaps others expense.

And, then there are those who want nothing more then pharmacueticals and not for the purpose of help, rather whole other agendas, and in too many of these cases, pharmacuetical therapy with little if anything more for therapy.


Remain disappointed but not entirely baffled.

What if any are your related thoughts?

And/Or, how might one come to terms with sifting through, making some sense of and forgiving other's sometimes (inability) to move or act vs. their (unwillingness) to move or act, in the situation where inertia has taken over?
 
Hi Popeye,

I'm terribly foggy today, so might not be grasping the correct end of the stick in your post. If that is the case, please excuse? The inertia/energy 'thing' just intrigues me because it seems so key to being able to almost 'trick' oneself into sliding into other forms of positive, forward movement. It's what has developed over the years in my case, at any rate. I'm not 'with it' enough to tackle the questions you posed with anything like articulatness and would end up sounded like an idiot so please forgive me for not even trying?

I'm also answering your post, in the middle of my momentary fog ( hoping it makes sense)also because you posted something pertaining to the subject of getting some energy moving for yourself not long ago. I was hoping, then, that this post wasn't about you being too hard on yourself. If that isn't the case, please disregard! :) If it is, then just please know that at least in my past experience, something you might consider as small as being able to post here in the forum is beating that inertia some for the day.

I hope someone more articulate than me can answer things more satisfactorily for you. :)

Anni
