Ego is the Enemy

Rating: 3.5/5
To procrastinate is to be entitled. It is arrogant. It assumes there will be later. It assumes you’ll have the discipline to get to it later (despite not having the discipline now).

Henry David Thoreau
Man lives by time. Inventing the future has been his favourite game of escape. We think that changes in ourselves can come about in time, that order in ourselves can be built up little by little, added to day by day. But time doesn’t bring order or peace, so we must stop thinking in terms of gradualness. This means that there is no tomorrow for us to be peaceful in. We have to be orderly on the instant.
