These Days, I'm Mysteriously Tired — Right?

The real reason for being tired is
not that you worked hard, and not that you lack vitamins

It's that your attitude is bad

The reason your attitude is bad is,
once again, that purpose is deficient.

(John Gordon, via UnitasBrand)








Right. Come to think of it,
when I'm doing something I really want to do,
something where time gets devoured without me noticing —
even if I stay up all night, even if I'm absorbed for hours or days —
I'm not tired at all.

I've been thinking that, at the very bottom of tiredness or helplessness,
a deficit of purpose might be the real cause.
